SGSmall private residential projects in Singapore are more likely to have poor construction quality compared to larger developments, according to data from the Building and Construction Authority (BCA). Over 58% of private residential projects with low construction workmanship ratings under the Conquas system were small condominiums, typically containing fewer than 50 units. Of 167 projects evaluated, 48 received the lowest band ratings (4–6), with 28 being small condos. In contrast, most projects rated higher (bands 1–3) were larger developments. Developers are assigned band ratings based on the quality of their projects, with Band 1 developers having significantly fewer defects than Band 6 developers. A new Land Sales Disqualification Framework aims to penalize developers with repeated failures by barring them from residential land sales for up to five years. The Conquas system assesses construction quality and major defects like water seepage and cracked tiles, using both official inspections and homeowner reports.
