Adoption of Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA)
Starting from January 1st, 2024, the Off-site Levy Scheme (OLS) incentivises construction firms to adopt Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) practices, promoting more off-site work and streamlining construction processes.
Enhanced Transparency and Worker Management
Through requirements such as providing location-based information of workers (geofencing) and the implementation of worker management systems, the scheme aims to improve transparency and oversight in the construction industry, ensuring compliance with regulations and promoting worker safety.
Levy Cost Reduction and Productivity Boost
With an appointment term of 3 years, the OLS offers lower construction levy rates for off-site workers from SGD250 per worker and promotes efficient resource allocation. This initiative aims to reduce construction costs, enhance productivity, and drive innovation in the built environment sector.
