Synopsis
The webinar provides a comprehensive overview of important aspects architects need to be aware of in relation to drainage submissions, the PUB Simplified Submission (SS) Scheme, and essential information regarding the PUB Business & Professional Portal (B&P Portal).
The webinar is designed to help architects stay informed and avoid common pitfalls in drainage submissions, adapt to the latest changes in submission criteria, and equip architects with the tools and information needed to navigate the submission process smoothly.
Topic 1: Common Mistakes for Drainage Submission by Er. Calvin Ong
This topic serves to recap what Architect need to take note during the Drainage submission process. Some of the areas covered include the Common Mistakes & Case Studies in Drainage Submissions pertaining to : Documentation / Endorsement / Declaration, Missing details for Drainage Works, Pumped Drainage System & Detention Tank. In addition, the topic will also provide a reminder on Critical Infrastructure / Key Infrastructure (CI/KI) and provide useful links on design/submission guides related to Drainage Submissions
Topic 2: Changes to Lodgement Criteria for PUB’s Simplified Submission (SS) Scheme by Ms Ivy Poon
As a pro-enterprise approach to facilitate a simplified regulatory plan approval process for minor projects, PUB has expanded the qualifying criteria for Plan Lodgement Scheme at the Development Control (DC) Stage (known as Simplified Submission “SS” Scheme) to residential landed developments. Since its implementation on 1 Feb 2024, PUB has found some lodged submissions to be non-compliant of the lodgement criteria for drainage and sewerage/sanitary matters and had been issued with Written Directions. This has consequentially resulted in prolonged plan approval time for the project instead.
To bring more awareness and clarity to industry professionals on the SS Scheme, the speaker will recap on (a) the expanded lodgement criteria, (b) the lodgement process, (c) types of building works which do not qualify for lodgement and (d) outline some common errors made by Architects when lodging DC Plans under the SS Scheme.
Topic 3: Sharing of PUB Business & Professional Portal (B&P Portal) by Mr Gan Chiat Kwang
In line with PUB ongoing commitment to enhance service delivery and digital engagement with industry partners, PUB is integrating services from the QPs Portal, LPs Portal, and POWS Portal into a unified platform—the Business & Professional (B&P) Portal. This secure and personalised e-submission portal caters to Qualified Persons, Licensed Plumbers, and Industry Professionals, providing a centralised landing page for streamlined submissions to PUB. This consolidation not only improves the user experience but also offers the convenience of accessing all submissions from a single, unified portal.
