Before ground is broken, our team coordinates the civil engineering groundwork, sources and moves materials to site, plans and controls how the project runs, and secures every permit the works require. Treating these four disciplines as one connected process, rather than as separate handoffs between teams, is what keeps a project\u2019s preconstruction phase on schedule and within budget. It\u2019s this coordinated approach that clients rely on to move from concept to construction without unnecessary delay.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n

Together, they prepare a project for construction, from underground utilities planning through to securing the permits needed to break ground.<\/span>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What is procurement management in construction?” custom_font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:24|text_align:left” custom_google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:500%20bold%20regular%3A500%3Anormal” use_custom_heading=”true”]In construction, procurement management is the process of sourcing, ordering and delivering the materials, equipment and permits a project needs, on time and within budget. It sits alongside project management and civil engineering as one of the core disciplines that determines whether a project starts on schedule.<\/span>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”How does Lih Ming manage materials sourcing and logistics?” custom_font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:24|text_align:left” custom_google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:500%20bold%20regular%3A500%3Anormal” use_custom_heading=”true”]We manage every stage of materials sourcing, from locating suppliers locally or internationally through import or export and temporary storage to final deployment and delivery on site.<\/span>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What permits are needed before starting excavation or road works in Singapore?” custom_font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:24|text_align:left” custom_google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:500%20bold%20regular%3A500%3Anormal” use_custom_heading=”true”]Before breaking ground on a public street, a permit must be submitted through<\/span> LTA.PROMPT<\/span><\/a>, the online portal for works on Singapore\u2019s roads, footpaths and drains, and this covers excavation, boring and other utility works. Where the works fall near an existing watermain or public sewer, a separate<\/span> submission for specified activities near water and sewer pipes<\/span><\/a> is required from PUB before work can start. Lih Ming\u2019s permitting team handles both applications directly on our clients\u2019 behalf. Because excavation and underground works carry genuine safety risks, we always recommend clients engage a licensed contractor for site work, which is the standard our own permitting and civil engineering teams are held to.<\/span>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Why does preconstruction planning matter before a project starts?” custom_font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:24|text_align:left” custom_google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:500%20bold%20regular%3A500%3Anormal” use_custom_heading=”true”]Preconstruction planning matters because it catches design, sourcing and permitting problems before they become expensive changes on site. A project with its civil engineering, materials and permits properly planned and sequenced is far less likely to face delays, rework or cost overruns once construction begins.<\/span><\/p>\n

Procurement management is what turns four separate disciplines into one preconstruction process, and it\u2019s why Lih Ming manages all of them under one roof.<\/b>[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]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
