Productivity Solutions Grant

The Built Environment Industry Digital Plan (BE IDP) serves as a step-by-step guide for local SMEs in the Built Environment sector to digitalise their businesses and plug skills gaps at each stage of their digitalisation journey. The IDP is part of the SMEs Go Digital Programme and aligns with the Built Environment Industry Transformation Map.

Local BE SMEs can apply for Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) for the Built Environment to co-fund up to 50% of the qualifying costs of adopting pre-approved digital solutions under the BE IDP. These Built Environment sector-specific solutions have been assessed by BCA and IMDA to be effective, market-tested and cost-effective (refer to the list of solutions here). 

Firms may also find non sector-specific solutions supported by Enterprise Singapore for SMEs, useful for improving productivity. These are listed here and include solutions such as Fleet Safety and Fleet Management Systems.

A new tranche of the PSG for the Built Environment will be available from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2031. The enhanced PSG will introduce more pre-approved digital solutions and expand to include advanced equipment such as Robotics and Automation (R&A), supporting SMEs to build more advanced capabilities and achieve greater productivity. For more information, please refer to the media release. 

Who can apply

Local SMEs can make multiple PSG applications, subject to a grant cap of $30,000 per firm over 3 years (from 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2026).

Applicants must meet the following eligibility criteria at the point of application.

• Be a registered business in Singapore
• Have at least 30% local shareholding; and company's group annual sales turnover of not more than $100mil or staff strength of no more than 200 employees
• Have primary and/or secondary business activity in Built Environment sub-sectors according to the Singapore Standard Industrial Classification Code (SSIC)

Note:

1. The applicant must not have signed or confirmed a contract with or made payment to a supplier, vendor or third party in relation to the purchase/subscription of the solutions before the application.
