What is Automated CPD Submission?

Automated CPD submission is the direct, API-based transmission of monthly Construction Productivity Data (CPD) from a site Biometric Authentication System (BAS) to BCA via SGBuildex — Singapore’s national data exchange platform for the built environment. From 1 May 2026, this is mandatory for new applicable projects in Singapore.

It replaces the existing ePSS (Electronic Productivity Submission System) workflow — where site teams manually collected onsite attendance data, collated offsite fabricator records separately, compiled everything into one of four Excel templates across 150+ trades in 7 categories, and uploaded to the ePSS portal every month.

Under automated CPD submission, attendance data flows from your integrated BAS to BCA automatically each month — no manual upload, no multi-team consolidation. BCA has also streamlined the trade list from 150+ trades across 7 categories to 30 trade categories, simplifying worker trade classifications.

The Mandate

BCA & HDB have set the deadlines.
Are your projects ready?

Manual ePSS uploads will no longer be accepted for applicable projects. Automated CPD submission must go through an integrated Biometric Authentication System (BAS) provider with a live SGBuildex API connection.

Low-Disruption Switch-Over

Switching is easier than you think.

Most contractors are closer to ready than they expect. We work with what’s already on your site.

🔌

Reuse Your Existing Hardware

Hubble connects to your existing compatible FRBAS turnstiles and biometric scanners. In most cases there’s no rip-and-replace of existing hardware. We confirm compatibility upfront before you commit to anything.

📥

Bulk Manpower Import

Your existing worker list imports in bulk into the Hubble Manpower Directory — no manual re-entry worker by worker.

🗓️

30 Days to Go Live

A standard switch-over takes approximately 30 days end-to-end. Hardware confirmation, project manpower and trade setup. Even faster if you’re already using Hubble Workforce’s ePSS.

💡

For existing Hubble Workforce customers: your worker data, project setup and trade data are already in the system. The upgrade is a simple one-time trade re-mapping.

Why Hubble

Built for how construction sites actually work.

Not just a portal connector. Hubble handles the complexity BCA’s system doesn’t account for.

🔀

Dynamic Trade Editing

Update trade assignments mid-project as manpower deployment changes every other day or week, without the last-minute rush to clean up your entire file.

📱

Mobile Check-In as Backup and for Open Sites

Hubble supports both fixed gantry / turnstile-based and mobile-based biometric attendance taking. The Hubble App is especially ideal as a backup when connectivity is down, and for LTA projects and infrastructure sites without fixed gantries. with GPS validation against site geofence.

🧭

Intelligent Project Routing

Different government agencies require different dataset components. Hubble auto-selects the required configuration as a single point of connection through SGBuildex, so you don’t have to worry about the manual compilation in the required structure and format per project.

Auto-CheckOut

Exception handling kicks in when workers forget to check out for the day.

Preview Before You Submit (Coming Soon)

Review the full CPD report before each submission. Catch trade issues or missing records before they reach BCA or other government agencies.

Digital Audit Trail

Activity Log for every successful submission batch automatically retained in Hubble — compliance evidence without manual record-keeping.

🏛️

Multi-Agency Ready, One Connection Point

One Hubble’s SGBuildex connection covers both BCA and HDB CPD reporting. As new agencies join SGBuildex, you don’t re-onboard — the infrastructure is already there.

FAQ

Common questions about automated CPD submission.

What is automated CPD submission?
Automated CPD submission is the system-to-system transmission of monthly Construction Productivity Data (CPD) to BCA and other government agencies via the Built Environment’s data exchange platform SGBuildex. From 1 May 2026, new applicable projects must submit CPD through an integrated Biometric Authentication System (BAS) connected to SGBuildex via API — replacing the manual Excel upload process to ePSS. Hubble’s SGBuildex CPD Module automates this entire pipeline, from site biometric check-in and check-out to submission email receipt.
When is automated CPD submission mandatory in Singapore?
Automated CPD submission via SGBuildex is mandatory from 1 May 2026 for new applicable projects with PTCW applications from that date — projects with GFA ≥ 5,000 m² and planning permission on or after 1 November 2014. A second mandate extends to all HDB BTO projects from September 2026, including those already under construction. Onboarding takes approximately 30 days, so contractors should start now to avoid missing the deadline.
What is the Electronic Productivity Submission System (ePSS)?
The Electronic Productivity Submission System (ePSS) is BCA’s online platform for collecting construction productivity data from building projects in Singapore. Contractors use a Biometric Authentication System (BAS) to capture worker biometric check-in and check-out data on site, then manually compile this into Excel templates and upload them to the ePSS portal monthly. From May 2026, this manual process is replaced by automated submission via SGBuildex for new applicable projects. Hubble’s ePSS Module continues to run for non-mandated projects.
What is the difference between ePSS and automated CPD submission via SGBuildex?
ePSS requires manual Excel file preparation and portal upload each month — it computes man-days and unique workers per trade and project type. SGBuildex transmits raw check-in/check-out records automatically via API with no manual upload. Hubble’s SGBuildex CPD Module adds intelligent project routing to auto-select the correct dataset components for different project types. Both modules run in parallel for contractors with mixed project portfolios.
Does SGBuildex replace ePSS?
Automated CPD submission via SGBuildex replaces the manual ePSS upload process for new applicable projects from May 2026. However, ePSS remains valid for non-mandated projects. Hubble supports both modules running in parallel — ePSS for non-mandatory projects, and the SGBuildex CPD Module for mandated ones. No need to choose between them.
Can I still submit CPD manually via ePSS after May 2026?
For new applicable projects with PTCW applications from 1 May 2026, CPD must be submitted through an integrated BAS connected to SGBuildex — manual ePSS uploads are not accepted for these projects. Projects not covered by the mandate may continue using ePSS. Hubble supports both running in parallel.
How long does it take to set up an integrated BAS for SGBuildex?
A standard onboarding takes 30 days — hardware compatibility confirmation, worker list bulk import, and trade mapping. For contractors already on Hubble Workforce using our ePSS module, the process is faster as worker data and project setup are already in the system. The upgrade is a module activation and one-time trade re-mapping — not a full migration.
Do we need to buy new hardware to connect to SGBuildex?
Not necessarily. Hubble connects to existing compatible BAS turnstiles and biometric scanners — workers continue checking in and checking out as before with no disruption to site entry. Hardware compatibility is confirmed upfront before you commit. For open sites without fixed gantries, Hubble’s mobile FRBAS app is the only solution for LTA and infrastructure projects, or those with open and linear sites.
