Optimising Healthcare Facility Improvements Through Quantity Surveying
The Addition & Alteration (A&A) works to the Rehab Services and Clinical Trial Research Unit at Changi General Hospital (CGH) involved modifications and improvements to existing healthcare facilities within an operational hospital environment. The project required careful planning, coordination, and cost management to support the functional requirements of healthcare services while ensuring the refurbishment works were delivered effectively.
Managing Costs for Healthcare Refurbishment Projects
Healthcare refurbishment projects present unique challenges compared to conventional construction works. Renovation works within hospitals require careful management of project costs, changes, procurement requirements, and stakeholder coordination while considering the needs of an active healthcare environment.
For the Changi General Hospital A&A works, effective cost management was essential to support informed decision-making and ensure that project requirements were aligned with budget considerations. Accurate cost assessment and proactive commercial monitoring helped manage financial risks throughout the refurbishment process.

As the consultant quantity surveyor for the healthcare refurbishment project, we provided comprehensive cost and commercial support from project planning through construction completion. Our team worked closely with the project stakeholders to manage the financial aspects of the addition and alteration works, providing reliable cost information and commercial advice throughout the project.
To maintain transparency and control over the project budget, our responsibilities included:
Supporting cost planning
Evaluating project changes
Monitoring expenditure
