What Are Additions & Alterations (A&A) ?

Additions & alterations (A&A) refer to construction works that modify or expand existing buildings without completely demolishing them. These projects may include expanding floor areas, reconfiguring layouts, reinforcing structures, or modernising mechanical and electrical systems.

A&A works are often undertaken to adapt spaces for new business operations, upgrade building performance, or comply with evolving regulations. In Singapore, A&A is a critical aspect of urban renewal — allowing properties to stay relevant and efficient while preserving their core structures.

Upgrading and Expanding Existing Buildings

A&A works are a cost-efficient and sustainable way to upgrade existing buildings. From adding new rooms or mezzanine floors to installing updated façades and internal layouts, additions help maximise usable space while alterations enhance building performance and design.

PRECISE Development integrates both architectural creativity and engineering precision to deliver building improvements that meet today’s performance and aesthetic expectations.

The Role of A&A Works in Singapore’s Built Environment

In Singapore’s dense and mature urban landscape, additions and alterations play a key role in optimising land use. Instead of redeveloping properties from scratch, A&A projects extend the lifespan and value of existing structures.

Our A&A works help businesses and institutions modernise facilities to align with new operational needs, safety codes, and environmental standards — ensuring long-term sustainability and compliance with the Building and Construction Authority (BCA)
