D20/D26 · Premium Landed
Home Lifts in Thomson, Singapore
The Thomson corridor — stretching from Upper Thomson through Springleaf and Lentor — is Singapore's fastest-growing landed search corridor on the back of new MRT access at Springleaf and Lentor stations. Lift demand is rising as both rebuild activity and second-generation refresh work pick up across the belt.
Why Thomson
Home Lifts for Thomson homes
New builds in the Lentor and Springleaf clusters increasingly include lift shafts from the design stage, with 3 stops typical to serve ground, mid, and upper levels. Retained structures from the 1980s and 1990s are also adding retrofit lifts as second-generation owners take over and plan for elderly parents. Vacuum and traction systems both appear regularly depending on plot layout and ambition.
Mid-to-upper premium pricing, S$60,000–S$100,000. Premium traction in new builds at S$75,000–S$95,000; vacuum retrofits in retained structures at S$60,000–S$75,000.
A new 3-storey detached build off Lentor Avenue incorporated a 3-stop hydraulic lift with shaft construction integrated from foundation up. Lift commissioning ran in parallel with the final fit-out phase.

Common Questions
Home Lifts in Thomson — FAQ
How much does a home lift cost in Singapore?
Home lift prices in Singapore range from $45,000 for a basic two-stop hydraulic lift to $120,000+ for premium systems with glass shafts and custom finishes. The main cost factors are number of stops, drive system type, and whether shaft construction is needed.
Do I need BCA approval for a home lift?
Yes. All residential lifts in Singapore require BCA approval. We handle the full application process including structural assessments, engineering drawings, and safety certifications. Approval typically takes 4–6 weeks.
What is the difference between a home lift and a platform lift?
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.
How much does home lift maintenance cost?
Annual maintenance contracts typically run $2,400 to $4,800 per year, covering quarterly servicing, safety inspections, and minor repairs. BCA requires at least one annual safety inspection by a registered contractor.
What is the difference between a vacuum lift and a hydraulic lift?
Vacuum lifts use air pressure, require no pit or machine room, and are easier to retrofit. Hydraulic lifts are quieter, support larger cabins, and cost less but need a pit and machine room. Vacuum lifts cost $55,000–$80,000; hydraulic lifts start from $45,000.
How long does home lift installation take?
Total project time is typically 8–16 weeks: 4–6 weeks for BCA approval, then 4–8 weeks for shaft construction, lift installation, and commissioning. Homes with existing shaft provisions can be completed faster.
