New Initiative Aims to Improve Transparency and Reliability in the Building Industry

The Master Builders Association Singapore (MBAS) has unveiled a new certification initiative designed to help property owners identify reliable builders. The Certified BuildTrust Manager emblem, alongside an online directory, will serve as a quality assurance measure, ensuring that construction professionals meet industry standards.

With concerns over workmanship and accountability in the building sector, MBAS aims to increase transparency by providing property owners with a verified list of professionals. The Certified BuildTrust Manager title will be awarded to builders who demonstrate compliance with rigorous quality and ethical standards.

Through the newly launched online directory, property owners can conveniently search for certified builders, making it easier to engage trusted professionals for their projects. The certification process includes thorough assessments, background checks, and adherence to safety and industry regulations.

MBAS emphasised that the initiative is part of a broader effort to elevate industry professionalism and strengthen consumer confidence. By enabling homeowners and businesses to make informed choices, the BuildTrust certification seeks to foster a more accountable and high-quality construction landscape in Singapore.
