HDB will also use a new method to improve repairs for spalling concrete in toilets.
Minister for National Development Desmond Lee said that since the launch of Home Improvement Programme in 2007, some 410,000 flats have been selected for upgrading.
Since the launch of HIP in 2007 to address common maintenance issues such as spalling concrete and ceiling leaks, some 410,000 flats have been selected for upgrading, said Minister for National Development Desmond Lee as he gave updates about the programme at a community event in Jurong West on July 28.
For example, one- to three-room HDB flat owners will co-pay $599.50, with the Government’s share being $11,390.50, or 95 per cent of the cost of the full optional improvements package. This helps to ensure that the repairs will last longer as spalling concrete is typically caused by wear and tear due to the corrosion of steel reinforcement bars embedded in the concrete floor and ceiling slabs.
