Frequently asked questions
How much does industrial reinstatement cost in Singapore?
Industrial reinstatement in Singapore costs $4 to $20 per sq ft depending on the unit type and condition. A standard 2,000 sq ft warehouse requires $8,000 to $40,000 including racking removal, epoxy stripping, 3-phase LEW disconnect and floor make-good. Units with mezzanine floors, machinery bases or extensive M&E modifications can reach $20/sq ft. JTC inspection fees are quoted separately.
Do industrial units require JTC inspection before handover?
If the unit is JTC-owned or JTC-managed, a pre-termination inspection is typically required before handover. The inspection verifies that all tenant-installed works have been removed and the unit returned to the original condition. MCSG prepares the unit for JTC inspection, including structural make-good, floor restoration and 3-phase electrical disconnection by a Licensed Electrical Worker.
Can MCSG remove mezzanine floors and racking systems?
Yes. MCSG handles full mezzanine floor demolition, racking system dismantling and structural make-good for industrial units. All structural works are coordinated with a Professional Engineer where required, and floor fixings are patched and restored to the original slab finish. We also handle machinery base removal and epoxy floor stripping.
What happens to the 3-phase power supply after reinstatement?
The 3-phase power supply must be properly disconnected by a Licensed Electrical Worker and the Electrical Installation Certificate submitted to SP Group to close the utilities account. Without proper disconnection and certification, SP Group may refuse to terminate the account, leaving the tenant liable for ongoing electricity charges. MCSG includes full 3-phase LEW disconnect and SP Group account closure coordination with every industrial reinstatement.
