Permitting in Singapore for Industrial Plants

Why Permitting Matters in Singapore
Singapore is a global hub for manufacturing and process industries — but the permitting process can be complex.
Whether you're expanding into Singapore or building your first facility here, you’ll need to navigate approvals from multiple government agencies:
-
URA / JTC – Land use and planning
-
BCA – Building and structural plans
-
SCDF – Fire safety and fire protection plans
-
NEA / PUB / EMA – Environmental, sanitary, drainage, and utility approvals
Mistakes or delays in any of these submissions can lead to costly overruns or project halts.
