Singapore’s giant listed property developer City Developments Ltd (CDL) will be the first developer in Asia to adopt the use of Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC) in a large scale residential development. The project is the 636-unit executive condo (top) by CDL in Canberra Drive. The project will have eight 10 to 12 storey blocks, and will be constructed using some 3,300 building modules, possibly the largest application of PPVC in the world. The use of PPVC for the EC is expected to increase construction productivity by more than 40% and save some 5,500 man days compared with the conventional construction method, according to CDL. Consequently, the EC is expected to be completed four months ahead of schedule.
