Revised building code to improve accessibility for people with disabilities, elderly, nursing mums
From Nov 1, new buildings in Singapore will need to follow a revised code to make the country more inclusive. Features such as barrier-free entrances to key facilities like train stations, as well as even wider lifts, will be mandatory. The Building and Construction Authority said the code serves as a baseline, and it encourages the industry to go beyond it to create a more user-friendly environment. Mr Tan Jwu Yih, BCA director for building plan and universal design, and Ms Judy Wee, executive director at the Muscular Dystrophy Association Singapore, shared more about the most significant changes and improvements.
