Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions about awning and enclosure design, construction and approvals in Singapore.
Can you design and build an awning for my property?
Greenland Construction Pte Ltd designs and builds awnings and private enclosures for HDB maisonettes, condominium balconies, private residences and roof terraces, landed houses, and factories and other commercial or industrial properties in Singapore. Send us photos and a short description and we will let you know how we can help.
Do you assist with authority submissions and approvals?
Yes. Where your awning or enclosure needs consent or approval, we help identify the relevant requirements and assist with preparing and coordinating the submissions. The outcome of any application rests with the relevant authority or management body, so we cannot guarantee approval.
Does every awning need approval?
No, not every awning needs formal approval, but many do need some form of consent. Requirements depend on the property type, location, size and design of the structure, and may involve HDB, a condominium MCST, a landlord, or planning, building-control or fire-safety authorities. We review the requirements for your specific project before work proceeds.
Can you work on HDB maisonettes or condominium balconies?
Yes. For HDB maisonettes, we plan the awning around HDB’s guidelines for external works. For condominium balconies, we work within the development’s by-laws and MCST requirements, and check any authority guidelines that may apply.
What information should I send for an initial assessment?
Your property type, photos of the area from a few angles, the approximate size you want to cover, what you want to achieve, and your general location or postal code. Drawings are not needed at this stage.
Can I send photos and measurements by WhatsApp?
Yes. WhatsApp is the quickest way to share photos. Message us at +65 9800 4385, or email admin@awning.sg if you prefer.
How does the quotation and site-assessment process work?
We review your photos and details first. If the project looks suitable, we arrange a site visit to take measurements and check site conditions. We then propose a design and scope of works and provide a quotation.
How long will the project take?
It depends on the size and complexity of the project and on whether consents or approvals are needed, since those timelines depend on the relevant authority or management body. We give you an estimated schedule once the scope is clear.
Approval requirements vary by property and proposal. We will review the applicable requirements with you before work proceeds.
Have a question not covered here?
Send us a few photos and a short description of your property. We’ll review what you have in mind and discuss the next steps.
