Synopsis

The Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA) is proud to support EPIC Homes in launching the SIA-EPIC Homes Build 2024. We are calling on 60 passionate and committed volunteers to help us build two much-needed homes for underprivileged indigenous families in the rural areas of Malaysia. This is more than just construction; it’s about building hope and making a lasting impact on the lives of those who need it most.

Why Participate?
This is your chance to be part of a meaningful project that combines hands-on construction experience with personal growth and community service. Volunteers from previous builds have described the experience as transformative, not only enhancing their building skills but also deepening their understanding of teamwork, leadership, and empathy. Participants who are from the construction industry including developers, builders, consultants and suppliers, will work together towards a common goal.
