D10 · GCB
Namly's GCB enclave between Sixth Avenue and Coronation Road West carries large plots and full-scope renovation or rebuild projects that almost always include a lift from the design stage. Retrofit work is also common on retained structures undergoing major refurbishment.
Why Namly
For new builds, lift shafts are integrated with the main structure from foundation up, with 3 or 4 stops typical to serve basement, ground, and multiple upper floors. Premium traction and MRL systems with custom glass or stone-clad cabins are the standard spec. For retrofits on retained homes, vacuum and traction options compete on a case-by-case basis depending on plot layout.
Top-of-band scope here. Premium traction systems with 3 or 4 stops, custom cabin interiors, and full smart-home integration form the baseline, with vacuum retrofits appearing on tighter retained structures. We scope each lift after a free site assessment.
On a rebuild serving basement to attic, plan the lift as a four-stop from the start; adding a stop later is the expensive version. A stone-clad or glass cabin opening onto a central void turns the shaft from a service element into part of the architecture, but only if the structure is designed around it.
Common Questions
The cost depends on the number of stops, the drive system type (hydraulic, traction, or vacuum), the cabin size and finishes, and whether new shaft construction is needed. Because every home is different, we provide a tailored quote after a free site assessment.
Yes. All residential lifts in Singapore require BCA approval. We handle the full application process including structural assessments, engineering drawings, and safety certifications. Approval timing sits with BCA, so we build it into your project schedule rather than promise a date.
A home lift is a fully enclosed cabin with automatic doors, travelling at up to 0.4m/s. A platform lift is an open or semi-enclosed platform, slower, and typically limited to two stops. Home lifts offer better comfort, security, and resale value.
Annual maintenance cost depends on the number of stops, the drive system, and how often the lift is used. Contracts typically cover quarterly servicing, safety inspections, and minor repairs, and BCA requires at least one annual safety inspection by a registered contractor. We provide a tailored quote after a free site assessment.
Vacuum lifts use air pressure, require no pit or machine room, and are easier to retrofit. Hydraulic lifts are quieter and support larger cabins but need a pit and machine room. We help you choose the right system during the site assessment and provide a tailored quote.
It depends on the drive system, whether your home already has a shaft provision, and how long BCA approval takes. Approval comes first, then shaft construction, lift installation, and commissioning. Homes with existing shaft provisions are the quicker jobs, and new shaft construction adds the most time. You get a schedule with your quote after the site assessment.
