CDL leads the pack in large-scale use of prefab tech

Singapore

CITY Developments Limited (CDL) has become the first developer in Asia to use prefabricated prefinished volumetric construction (PPVC) in the building of a large-scale residential development, it said on Tuesday.

In the use of PPVC, prefabricated modules are hoisted into position and assembled in the manner of Lego blocks. Some 3,300 building modules will be used in the construction of the development in question - an executive condominium (EC) on Canberra Drive.
