NEA hands out S$1.3m in quieter building grants
Singapore
SINGAPORE's National Environment Agency (NEA) has committed S$1.3 million to 41 projects that have applied for its Quieter Construction Fund (QCF) since it was introduced in April 2014.
The QCF, which reimburses companies for up to 50 per cent of the cost of using supported quieter construction equipment and techniques, aims to incentivise companies to adopt quieter construction solutions that are not readily adopted by the industry due to the higher costs involved, said NEA in a statement.
