Building Efficiency: The Peak @ Toa Payoh Wins BCA Construction Productivity Gold

The Peak @ Toa Payoh, comprising blocks 138 to 139B off Lorong 1A in Toa Payoh, received the BCA Construction Productivity Award 2013 (Gold). Completed in 2012, the development consists of five residential blocks rising 40 to 46 storeys with 1,245 units, served by a connected multi-storey car park topped with rooftop communal space.

The Construction Productivity Award recognises projects that raise on-site build efficiency, typically through greater use of prefabrication and mechanised methods in place of manual labour. At The Peak @ Toa Payoh, the five blocks were diagonally orientated to avoid direct sun exposure while maximising surrounding views and privacy, with mid-tower sky terraces built into the façade to serve residents' recreational needs.
