Historical Milestones
1
Buildables was instrumental in developing the first 3-in-1 (impact-resistant, fire-resistant, moisture-resistant) drywall system for multi-storey residential apartments in Singapore in 2005, for the Savannah Condopark.
Buildables notes that the pilot project's drywall systems were designed and tested to the local requirements, and was very attractive in reducing the overall weight of the structure, the number of wet trades on the site, and increasing productivity - installation and finishing was approximately up to 4 times faster. This 3-in-1 residential drywall system was subsequently adopted by many of the industry developers in Singapore, providing Buildables' business with significant growth in its years of operations.

In 2012, Buildables relocated its headquarters to a larger facility in 25 Tampines Industrial Avenue 5. The relocation of its operations to a facility that was more than triple the size of its previous facility provided Buildables with the capacity to manage their growth, expand its logistics and warehouse teams while maximising utility of the new space.
At the start of 2013, Buildables entered into an exciting new partnership with Saint-Gobain Gyproc, a Fortune 500 multinational corporation specialising in high-performance materials.

In 2019, We introduced a lightweight high-performance sandwich panel that is envisioned to revolutionise the construction industry.
Satisfying various requirements such as fire, impact, and moisture, the thinner lightweight sandwich panel provides more usable floor area without compromising performance!
