Since the launch of CONQUAS in 1989, more than 2,238 public and private building projects have been assessed by BCA. The total cumulative contract value exceeding S$81.9 billion. As a de facto national quality yardstick for the industry, CONQUAS has been periodically fine-tuned to keep pace with changes in technology and quality demands of more sophisticated Singaporeans. What does CONQUAS cover? CONQUAS covers three main aspects of the general building works: Structural works - covers the structural integrity and helps to safeguard the interest of building occupants in relation to safety.Architectural works - deals with the aesthetic of the building such as finishes and components. This is the part where the quality and standard of workmanship are most visible.Mechanical & Electrical (M & E) works - concerns with the performance of selected mechanical and electrical services and installations to ensure the comfort of the building occupants.Who are the assessors? A team of assessors from the Building and Construction Authority carries out assessments.

In CONQUAS 21, the weightages for Structural, Architectural and M&E works are allocated according to public housing buildings are as follows: Structural Works 45% Architectural Works 50% M&E Works 5% The weightage system, which is aimed at making the CONQUAS score objective in representing the quality of a building, is a compromise between the cost proportions of the three components in the various buildings and their aesthetic consideration. The CONQUAS score of a building is the sum of points awarded to the three components. A high CONQUAS Score means a building with good quality workmanship. A CONQUAS Score of 80 indicates 80% of the items checked for workmanship quality in the selected samples met the CONQUAS standards. A CONQUAS Score of 100 means the best-constructed building or ideal building. However, it is not possible to achieve a defect free building. A building achieving a CONQUAS Score of 80 is better constructed than a building with a CONQUAS Score of 75.

big orange 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2009 It been more than 2 weeks since renotalk is down. Anyway i have a few inquiry 1. book lice ( not too sure). I hope quite quite many in storeroom. but i cant confirm what they are. not black, not white.. a bit transparent greyish. I use vacuum and suck them all... but i believe they will come back. How to do preventive action? 2. Iron & Ironing Board Saw differences in price. And the size, weight also matter. for young couple, does it matter a good pair of iron and ironing board? 3. Underneath Sink Area This is mostly inside your cabinet which have a lot of storage place. It like a big box. So what storage system or method you use to organize this area. Thanks man!!

hihihi 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2009 1. book lice ( not too sure). I hope quite quite many in storeroom. but i cant confirm what they are. not black, not white.. a bit transparent greyish. I use vacuum and suck them all... but i believe they will come back. How to do preventive action? perhaps moth balls will help. 1 pack is like $1. I throw a few balls in my wardrobe, and the rest leave it open in the storeroom. Also impt to keep the rm dry and food free. I know pple who keep canned food and unopened rice in the store. 2. Iron & Ironing Board Saw differences in price. And the size, weight also matter. for young couple, does it matter a good pair of iron and ironing board? IMO depends on personal preference. I prefer heavy ironing board coz it's more sturdy, such that when u iron, the board won't rock with you. Of coz the downside is the board is gonna be heavy for ladies. The iron itself is your own choice. You should probably ask yourself who will be the one doing most of the ironing chores, then choose something both of u are comfortable with. Best is both of u go buy together, then no future complains. u can also consider those clothes steamer. GIANT sometimes selling quite cheap at abt $88.
