Prefabricated Pre-finished Volumetric Construction or PPVC, the construction method utilized for hotel extension of Crowne Plaza Changi Airport Hotel

The developer of the new Crowne Plaza Changi Airport hotel Airport, has used the PPVC construction method to complete the top eight storeys of the hotel in a mere one month period. 

Ready made rooms, complete with lightings, carpets and even bathtubs, were manufactured in Shanghai and shipped into Singapore for assembly on site. 

Irene Meta, Senior Vice President of Development & Projects at OUE Limited, the developer of the project, has announced that the PPVC technology allows them to overcome construction issues on the small site, example, limited access, limited timing on traffic delivery and saves a lot of time. 

Only 300, instead of the usual 1250 trips, are required for this extension,  and took four months instead of the usual twelve months to complete the project. Manpower has also been reduced from 60 to 36 workers. 

National Development Minister Lawrence Wong, feels that this project serves to show how PPVC can achieve better results.
