FAQ

Q1: What happens if I skip authority submission?
Skipping authority submission for your office fit-out may seem like a shortcut—but it often creates bigger risks, delays, and costs down the line.
Here’s what typically happens:
1.⁠ ⁠Work Stoppage or Penalties
Building management or local authorities (e.g. council, Bomba) can issue a stop-work order if your renovation is found to be non-compliant. This can immediately halt your project and disrupt your business timeline.
2.⁠ ⁠Fines & Rework Costs
Unauthorised works may result in fines, and in many cases, you may be required to dismantle completed work and redo it according to approved drawings—leading to double costs.
3.⁠ ⁠No Fire & Safety Approval
Without proper submission, critical systems like fire protection, escape routes, and M&E works may not be approved. This puts occupants at risk and may prevent you from legally operating your office.
4.⁠ ⁠Delays in Handover & Operation
Even if construction is completed, you may not be allowed to move in or commence operations without final authority approvals and inspections.
5.⁠ ⁠Insurance & Liability Risks
In the event of an incident (e.g. fire, accident), lack of approved submissions may void your insurance coverage and expose you to legal liabilities.

Q2: How long does it take?
A: Around 4–10 weeks. (CHANGE TO: It depends on the project size & scope of services, for project size of 10,000 sf, it will take around 6-12 weeks.)
