The Contractors License Recommendation Panel, set up by the CEO of Planning Authority is responsible to vet the credentials and competency documents provided by existing or new Building Contractors when applying for new licenses or requesting for upgrading of existing licenses.
Unlike Agents, Building Contractors are only interviewed and there are no exams undertaken. Whilst there is an on-going process to establish a Council for Construction Professionals, this will not involve Building Contractors. It is thus essential that a similar Council is set up to regulate the competencies and control the performance of Building Contractors.
