Condominium
Quantity Surveying
High-rise residential·GLS & private
Condominium developments are the cost-volume engines of the Singapore residential market. Multi-block towers on GLS sites with hundreds of units, multi-level basement carparks, landscape decks, communal facilities, and the operational backbone that makes high-density living work. Yuhuang Estimating provides Quantity Surveying across the full condominium lifecycle.
Yuhuang Estimating condominium experience
- Bukit Timah Link (GLS) — 2 blocks of 20-storey residential building totalling 158 units, with landscape deck, 2 basement carparks, and communal facilities
Why condominium projects need a specialist QS
- Scale economics — material take-offs run into the tonnes of steel and thousands of cubic metres of concrete. Small percentage errors translate to large absolute amounts.
- Repetitive units — once one unit type is priced correctly, the rate carries across all units. Once one is priced wrong, the error multiplies.
- Common-area cost — landscape decks, swimming pools, gyms, function rooms, carparks. Each has specific cost dynamics.
- Long programme — 24–36 month construction programmes. Preliminaries cost is material.
- Phased handover — TOP, CSC, defects liability. Each carries cost implications.
- Cash-flow management — developer cash flow over construction matters as much as total cost.
