Our Consultancy Services for MiC projects and conventional projects involve the technique and knowledge on (i) structural engineering; (ii) geotechnical engineering and (iiii) civil engineering.
Our Consultancy services which involve structural engineering include the provision of: (i) structural design of different types of buildings such as residential, commercial, industrial, and government-related buildings; (ii) associated study, calculation and drawing services to facilitate and materialize an architect’s architectural design, such as structural feasibility study, production of schematic drawings, detailed calculations and tender drawings; and (iii) associated administration services such as building contract administrations, submission of structural plans as required by law, and site supervision.
We also provide consultancy services which involve geotechnical engineering in, among other things, construction projects for (i) all buildings in Vietnam and (ii) buildings of less than 30-storeys and buildings works for a trench, ditch, shaft or well with a depth or height of not more than 6 meters in Singapore (details of requirements for carrying out geotechnical engineering work of different scales are set out in the paragraph headed ‘‘Regulatory overview — Regulations and supervision of our business in Singapore — Building Control Act’’ in this prospectus). Geotechnical engineering uses the principal of soil mechanics and rock mechanics to, among other things, investigate subsurface conditions and materials, determine the physical, mechanical and chemical properties of these materials, evaluate the stability of natural slope and man-made soil deposits, and assess risks posed by site conditions. After conducting the investigation related to the geotechnical aspects of the project site, our Group would provide consultancy advice to our clients for the subsequent stages of the projects. We intend to set up a separate geotechnical division with professionals license to carry out geotechnical engineering work for buildings without height restriction, so that we can expand our scope of service to our clients. Please refer to the paragraph headed ‘‘Business strategies and future plans — Expand our operation in Singapore — 2. Establish a geotechnical division in Singapore’’ in this section below for further details.
Additional services provided for MiC projects
The scope of work of our Consultancy Services for MiC Projects would be similar to that of our Consultancy Services for Conventional Projects except that we would advise the architect in project meetings on the various technical constraints of MiC before the start of the architects’ design process. Our Directors believe that, because MiC is a relatively new construction method compared with conventional construction method, our advice to architects before the design process could remove the need for subsequent extensive modification and avoid unnecessary delay. Various tests would be conducted by third-party contractors to verify design parameters. At the construction stage of the MiC projects, the main-contractor will send third-party contractors to do scanning of wall. Please refer to paragraph headed ‘‘Operating procedures — Details of project implementation’’ in this section below for the details.
For construction works using MiC method, our Group will also deploy our resident engineers and resident technical officers to supervise the construction of the building. Please refer to paragraph headed ‘‘Operating procedures — Details of project implementation — Typical project workflow in Singapore’’ in this section below for further details.
