If you are installing a signboard on a building facade in Singapore, you may need approval from the Building and Construction Authority (BCA). Understanding the requirements early saves time and avoids costly rework.
When is BCA licensing required?
Generally, signboards that are fixed to the exterior of a building — especially larger illuminated signs, LED billboards and structural installations — require a BCA signboard licence. Small interior signs and window decals typically do not.
What does the process involve?
- Signboard design and dimension drawings
- Building owner or MCST consent
- BCA licence application (from S$350 via I-SIGNAGE)
- Professional Engineer endorsement for structural signs
- Installation by a qualified contractor
