Landed House Rebuilds in Singapore

Down to the ground, then a new house on the same plot.

Rebuild, or the other thing?

Five ways that separate the routes. Everything here is decided before design starts - which is why it is worth reading now.

Compared with

  • What it is

    Reconstruction

    15–18 months of construction.

  • What decides it

    Rebuild

    Reconstruction

    Whether the existing structure can carry it.

  • What needs approving

    Rebuild

    Full submission, lodged before construction begins.

    Reconstruction

    Full submission, against what is being retained.

  • What you end up with

    Rebuild

    A brand new house, with nothing inherited.

    Reconstruction

    A new house with a familiar structure.

FAQsThe things people ask before they commit.

  • When the plot supports the house you want and the existing one does not — either because it is past economic repair, or because its structure fixes a layout you cannot live with. If the frame is sound and the problem is the plan, a reconstruction or an A&A will get you there faster.
