Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC)

Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC) is a construction method whereby free-standing 3-dimensional modules are completed with internal finishes, fixtures and fittings in an off-site fabrication facility, before it is delivered and installed on-site.

Our comprehensive solutions cover installation, maintenance, and repair of key systems, ensuring optimal performance, energy efficiency, and compliance with Singapore’s building regulations

What to consider when using PPVC

Early contractor involvement– Developers/project managers should obtain inputs from the PPVC supplier or manufacturer as well as the Main Contractor at the design stage. This helps in developing effective technical solutions for the project. For example, the choice of material will dictate the size and number of modules in the design as weight is a major consideration for the hoisting of the modules.

Site/project management – The condition of the roads surrounding the project must be able to accommodate the weight and size of the PPVC module delivery. Access to and within the site must be able to accommodate loaded trailers. It may not be practical to store many large PPVC modules on-site, and a Just in Time (JIT) installation would prevent unnecessary double handling. The crane deployed on-site must be able to handle the weight of the PPVC modules and its location should be properly planned so that it can reach all blocks for the installation of modules.

Maintenance, replacement and renovation– It is good practice for developers/builders to provide a homeowner user manual of the PPVC upon completion of the project. For any renovation works, it is recommended for homeowners to engage a renovation contractor, who would use the appropriate tools and follow the instructions provided in the homeowner user manual.
