Singapore's Building and Construction Authority (BCA) has introduced a new service aimed at compensating individuals who suffer damage to their property as a result of nearby construction activities. The scheme is designed to provide a clearer and more accessible pathway for affected parties to seek redress.
Under the new framework, property owners who experience issues such as cracks, settlement, or other structural damage linked to construction work can file claims through the BCA. The authority will assess the damage and determine appropriate compensation based on established guidelines.
The initiative is expected to streamline the current process, which often involves lengthy disputes between property owners and contractors. By centralising the assessment and compensation mechanism, the BCA aims to reduce friction and ensure timely resolution for affected residents.
Details regarding eligibility criteria, claim procedures, and compensation limits are available on the BCA's official website. Property owners are encouraged to document any damage and report it promptly to facilitate the claims process.
