Landed House Rebuild Contractor Singapore
Why Rebuild Your Landed Home? (Instead of Renovating)
Many homeowners start by considering A&A or minor renovations. But for landed houses that are 20–40 years old, rebuild often becomes the smarter choice.
Here’s why:
1. Structural Wear & Tear
Older homes often suffer from:
Foundation settlement
Structural cracks
Outdated M&E
Poor waterproofing
Inefficient layouts
A rebuild solves all these issues at once.
2. Maximise Your GFA (Gross Floor Area)
Rebuilding allows you to fully utilise your allowable GFA under URA’s guidelines, giving you:
More bedrooms
Larger living and dining area
Higher ceilings
Basement level
Attic
Home lift
3. Modern, Future-Proof Design
A rebuild provides the opportunity to:
Optimise natural light
Improve ventilation
Increase energy efficiency
Incorporate smart home technology
4. Higher Long-Term Property Value
A newly rebuilt landed house in Singapore commands a significantly higher market value vs a renovated old home.
