Integrated Plan Submission
An electronic system that allows Qualified Persons (QPs) to submit building plans and structural plans directly to regulatory authorities for approval, significantly reducing processing time.
What is CORENET?
CORENET, which stands for Construction and Real Estate NETwork, is a multi-agency government initiative spearheaded primarily by the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) in collaboration with other government bodies. It serves as a comprehensive IT infrastructure designed to facilitate information sharing and workflow process integration among the various stakeholders in the built environment sector.
By leveraging technology, CORENET aims to streamline processes, enhance productivity, and raise the quality of Singapore's construction and real estate industry. It functions as a collaborative hub where developers, consultants, contractors, and government agencies can exchange data seamlessly, reducing bureaucracy and accelerating project timelines.
Key Pillars of CORENET
CORENET is built upon several strategic pillars designed to drive the industry towards a more digitalized and integrated future.
Construction Quality Assessment
A system that facilitates the electronic scoring and submission of construction quality scores, ensuring transparency and continuous improvement in construction standards.
Building Information Modelling (BIM)
CORENET actively promotes the use of BIM to create and manage digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of places, enabling better decision-making.
Benefits of the Network
Improved Efficiency
Digital submissions reduce the reliance on paper-based documents, speeding up the approval process and reducing administrative overhead for all parties involved.
Enhanced Collaboration
The platform fosters better communication between architects, engineers, and regulatory bodies, minimizing errors and miscommunications.
Cost Savings
By streamlining workflows and reducing rework through better data management, projects can adhere more strictly to budgets and timelines.
A Legacy of Innovation
Since its inception, CORENET has evolved from a basic data exchange platform into a sophisticated ecosystem. It continues to adapt, incorporating emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cloud computing to meet the complex demands of modern urban development.
The initiative plays a crucial role in Singapore's Smart Nation vision, ensuring that the construction industry remains competitive and sustainable on a global scale.
