新加坡：一台不比洗碗机大多少的机器人，以激光般的精准度，在一间新建的四房组屋（BTO）客厅光秃秃的地面上来回穿梭。
SINGAPORE: With the precision of a laser, a robot no bigger than a dishwasher zigzags across the bare floor of a living room in a new four-room Build-to-Order (BTO) flat.
它小心翼翼地找平并抹光新浇筑的混凝土找平层，打造出平整的地面基层，以便铺设瓷砖或乙烯基地板。
It carefully levels and smooths freshly laid concrete screed, creating an even floor surface to lay tiles or vinyl.
在另一间房里，一名工人弯腰伏在一堆找平料前，先设好标高控制桩，再费心费力地纯手工完成作业。
In another room, a worker bends over a mound of screed, setting out level pegs before painstakingly doing the job by hand.
这台机器人不仅速度更快；工人只需几天就能学会操作，而要精通纯手工作业，则需要数月的实操经验和反复练习。
The robot is not just faster; a worker can learn to operate it in a few days, compared with months of hands-on experience and repeated practice needed to master the job manually.
2026年9月21日，在Woodgrove Edge组屋工地，一名工人正在使用传统找平方法作业。

这台找平机器人是建屋发展局（HDB）推出机器人及自动化解决方案的一部分，旨在提高建筑生产力、减少人力需求。
The screeding robot is part of the Housing and Development Board’s (HDB) roll-out of robotics and automation solutions to increase construction productivity and reduce manpower needs.
建屋发展局部长张志贤（Chee Hong Tat）于周五（9月25日）在建屋发展局颁奖晚宴上致辞时表示，为满足强劲的住房需求，政府必须持续改进建屋方式，更善用科技与人力，提升生产力水平，并在可能的情况下缩短建设工期。
Speaking at the HDB Awards Dinner on Friday (Sep 25), Minister for National Development Chee Hong Tat said that to meet strong housing demand, the government must keep improving the way it builds flats by making better use of technology and manpower, raising productivity levels, and shortening construction timelines where possible.
他对建筑环境业界的与会者说：“这正是我们与业界合作至关重要的原因。我们希望继续与大家紧密合作，寻找更好的建造方式，以便共同建得更多、建得更快，同时保持高标准的安全与质量。”
“This is why our partnership with the industry is critical. We want to continue to work closely with all of you to find better ways to build, so that together, we can build more and build faster, while maintaining high standards of safety and quality,” he told attendees from the built environment sector.
张志贤表示，建屋发展局将从2027年起，在约50%的新标组屋工地部署智能施工升降机——即工地用的自动化临时电梯，并扩大找平机器人在更多组屋工地的应用。
Mr Chee said HDB will deploy smart hoists – automated, temporary lifts at construction sites – at about 50 per cent of all new BTO sites tendered from 2027, and scale up the use of screeding robots at more BTO sites.
他说：“这是我们规模化推广工作的下一步。但我们不会止步于此。我已要求建屋发展局致力于在所有新标组屋工地部署这些技术。”
“This is the next step of our scaling up efforts. But we will not stop here. I've asked HDB to work towards deploying these technologies at all new BTO sites,” he said.
国家发展部长徐芳达于2026年9月25日在圣淘沙名胜世界举行的年度建屋发展局颁奖典礼上致辞。智能升降机、抹平机器人徐芳达表示，关键不在于技术有多先进，而在于它能否帮助解决工地上的实际问题。
Minister for National Development Chee Hong Tat speaking at the annual HDB Awards Ceremony held at Resorts World Sentosa on Sep 25, 2026. SMART HOISTS, SCREEDING ROBOTS Mr Chee said what matters is not how sophisticated the technology is, but whether it can help to solve practical problems at worksites.
他以智能客货两用升降机为例，建屋发展局一直在兀兰、义顺和罗弄的项目工地试用这种设备。
He gave the example of the Smart Passenger and Material Hoist, which HDB has been trialling at project sites in Woodlands, Yishun and Rochor.
与需要每部升降机配备一名专职操作员的传统升降机不同，智能升降机可由工人直接呼叫至他们所在的楼层。
Unlike conventional hoists, which require a dedicated operator for each hoist, smart hoists can be called directly by workers to the floor where they are needed.

2026年9月21日，蔡厝港边BTO工地的智能客货两用升降机配备门部避障和防夹传感器，可在无专职操作员的情况下运行。
The smart hoist has features such as obstruction and anti-pinch sensors at the doors to enable the hoist to operate without a dedicated operator at Woodgrove Edge BTO site on Sep 21, 2026.
智能升降机还具备安全功能，如二维激光雷达传感器，可扫描障碍物，以及防夹传感器，若有物体阻挡会阻止门关闭。
Smart hoists also have safety features, such as 2D LiDAR sensors, which scan for obstructions, and anti-pinch sensors that stop doors from closing if something is in the way.
一名工人可通过远程查看的实时闭路电视画面，同时监管多达三部智能升降机，而传统升降机则需要每部配备一名操作员。
One worker can supervise up to three smart hoists using live CCTV footage that can be viewed remotely, compared with one operator for each conventional hoist.
建屋发展局表示，以一个拥有六部智能升降机的项目为例，只需两名工人而非六名，升降机作业的生产力提升约200%。
At a project with six smart hoists, for example, two workers would be needed instead of six, translating to a productivity gain of about 200 per cent for hoist operations, HDB said.
建屋发展局补充说，由于升降作业所需人力减少，工人可专注于其他任务，如监督和质量检查。
It added that with less manpower required for hoisting operations, workers can focus on other tasks such as supervision and quality checks.

徐芳达说：“虽然这听起来可能只是相对简单的改进，但跨越许多组屋和许多项目，节省的人力会累积起来，从而带来可观的整体生产力提升。”
“While this may sound like a relatively simple improvement, the manpower savings do add up across many blocks and many projects, leading to a sizeable overall increase in productivity,” said Mr Chee.
徐芳达还举了利用机器人承担更多重复性和劳动密集型任务的例子，如地面抹平。
Mr Chee also gave the example of using robots for more repetitive and labour-intensive tasks, such as floor screeding.
“抹平机器人能够自动化这一过程中的许多环节，并实现更均匀的饰面效果。随后，工人可以被调配去执行其他更具生产力的任务，”他表示。
“A screeding robot automates much of this process and creates a more consistent finish. Workers can then be deployed to take on other more productive tasks,” he said.
建屋发展局表示，机器人完成一套四房式公寓的抹平作业大约需要一天时间，但实际的生产力提升将取决于单元布局以及工人操作机器人的经验等因素。
HDB said the time taken for a robot to screed a four-room flat is about a day, although actual productivity gains will depend on factors such as the unit layout and the worker’s experience in operating the robot.
该机构已在武吉知马和义顺的工地进行了初步试验，并计划于2027年将试验范围扩展至至少四个新的组屋项目，以评估机器人在不同工地条件下的表现及其大规模部署的潜力。
The agency has conducted preliminary trials at sites in Bukit Merah and Ghim Moh, and will extend trials to at least four more BTO projects in 2027 to assess the robots under different site conditions and their potential for wider deployment.

建屋发展局指出，虽然采用机器人和自动化技术的初期成本预计会略高，但随着技术的成熟、行业能力的提升以及更广泛的采用带来的规模经济效应，成本预计将会下降。
HDB said that while the initial costs of adopting robotics and automation are expected to be slightly higher, costs are expected to go down with wider adoption and economies of scale, as the technologies mature and industry capabilities develop.
该局补充说，建筑成本的增加并不会直接转化为购房者面临的更高公寓价格。
It added that higher construction costs do not translate directly into higher flat prices for home buyers.
关于技术采用对组屋项目等待时间的影响，建屋发展局表示，这些施工方法可以缩短特定建筑活动所需的时间，并提高工地的整体生产力。
On how the adoption of technologies will impact waiting times for BTO projects, HDB said the construction methods can shorten the time needed for specific construction activities and improve overall site productivity.
然而，建屋发展局指出，组屋项目的建设周期取决于多种因素，包括其设计、复杂程度以及工地条件。
However, the construction timeline of a BTO project depends on various factors, including its design and complexity and site conditions, HDB said.
更高的标准化 齐先生还宣布推出建屋发展局的增强型预制构件目录（EPCC），该目录将于9月28日向行业合作伙伴开放，并将在2026年12月招标的项目中实施。
GREATER STANDARDISATION Mr Chee also announced the launch of HDB’s Enhanced Precast Components Catalogue (EPCC), which will be made available to industry partners from Sep 28 and implemented in projects tendered from December 2026.
该目录是一个包含详细规格和图纸的数据库，介绍了如何制造17种预制构件（即在场外制造的建筑构件），这些构件广泛用于建屋发展局（HDB）的预购组屋（BTO）项目中。其中包括预制浴室单元、避难室和楼梯。
The catalogue is a library of detailed specifications and drawings for how to fabricate 17 types of precast components – or building components manufactured off-site – that are commonly used in HDB’s BTO projects. These include precast bathroom units, household shelters and staircases.
标准化预制构件（例如宏茂桥Central Weave @ AMK项目所使用的构件）有助于简化预制件的生产和施工。
Standardised precast components such as those used at Central Weave @ AMK, help to simplify precast production and construction.
他说，这些生产力的提升可以转化为比原计划提前几个月完成的项目。
These are productivity gains that could translate into projects being completed several months ahead of schedule, he said.
目前的目录涵盖了常用预制构件的尺寸，而升级后的目录将对混凝土标号、钢筋配置和连接细节等关键规格进行标准化。
While the current catalogue covers the dimensions of commonly used precast components, the enhanced catalogue will standardise key specifications such as concrete grades, reinforcement provisions and connection details.
徐芳达表示，这将使在多个建屋发展局项目中更容易使用相同的构件。
This will make it easier to use the same components across multiple HDB projects, Mr Chee said.
他补充道：“整个价值链都将受益。顾问可以减少在重复性设计工作上的时间。预制件制造商可以进行更大规模的生产并更好地利用自动化。”
“There are benefits across the value chain. Consultants can spend less time on repetitive design work. Precasters can produce at greater scale and make better use of automation.
“承包商可以从更广泛的供应商群体中进行选择，而工人们则可以在不同的项目中应用熟悉的施工方法，”他补充说。
“Contractors can choose from a wider pool of suppliers, while workers can apply familiar construction methods across different projects,” he added.
徐芳达表示，政府预计升级后的目录将使项目的工时减少多达20%，并提供更多的采购选择。
Mr Chee said the government expects the enhanced catalogue to reduce project manhours by up to 20 per cent and provide more sourcing options.
建屋发展局表示，升级后的目录根据预制构件的可标准化程度对其进行了分类。
HDB said the enhanced catalogue groups precast components according to how far they can be standardised.
通常不需要根据项目进行特定更改的构件（例如楼梯和避难室），将在所有建屋发展局项目中采用统一的规格。
Components that typically do not require project-specific changes, such as staircases and household shelters, will use common specifications across all HDB projects.
这是首次创造出“现成的”标准化预制构件，使预制件供应商能够选择建立这些构件的库存，以支持未来的供应招标。预制避难室将在所有建屋发展局项目中实现标准化。
For the first time, this creates “off-the-shelf” standardised precast components, giving precast suppliers the option of building up a stock of these components to support future supply tenders. Precast household shelters will be standardised across all HDB projects.
尽管目录中的立面组件已实现标准化，建屋发展局表示，顾问仍可通过使用雨棚、遮阳鳍片等附件，设计出视觉上独具特色的立面。
While facade components are standardised within the catalogue, consultants will still be able to design visually unique facades through the use of attachments such as canopies and fins, HDB said.
他们还可以使用如成型模（一种弹性模具）等工具，在立面上创造纹理或绘制图案。
They will also be able to use tools such as formliners – an elastic mould – to create textures on the facade or painted patterns.
齐先生表示：“我也想向大家保证，更高的标准化并不意味着所有建筑都会千篇一律。我们不是在烤饼干，因此不会采用‘一刀切’的方式。”
“I would also like to reassure everyone that greater standardisation does not mean that everything will look the same. We are not baking cookies; so we are not going to use a cookie-cutter approach,” Mr Chee said.
“我们可以标准化组件以提高生产力，同时继续赋予每一个建屋发展局项目基于周边环境和社区特色的独特身份与个性。”与业界合作齐先生表示，建屋发展局正与业界合作伙伴密切合作，探索更智能的建造方式。
“We can standardise components to improve productivity, while continuing to give HDB projects, each one, its own identity and character, based on the surroundings and the community.”PARTNERING INDUSTRY Mr Chee said HDB is working closely with industry partners to find smarter ways to build.
通过缩短竣工时间计划，承包商可以提出并实施创新的施工方法和技术。
Through the shortened time for completion scheme, contractors can propose and implement innovative construction methods and technologies.
他表示，竞标此类项目的承包商可以将这些技术所需的额外成本纳入报价，建屋发展局将对其提案进行“全面”评估。
Contractors tendering for such projects can factor the additional costs required for these technologies into their bids, and HDB will assess their proposals “holistically”, he said.
齐先生说：“这是建屋发展局投入少量额外资金，帮助业界尝试新颖方法并建立新能力的方式之一。”
“This is one of the ways that HDB is investing a small premium into helping our industry players to try new and fresh approaches and to build new capabilities,” said Mr Chee.
他补充说，创新解决方案也可能获得建筑与建造局等其他机构的共同资金支持。
He added that innovative solutions may also qualify for co-funding support by other agencies such as the Building and Construction Authority (BCA).
例如，一项解决方案通过采用液压千斤顶系统的装载器，简化了预制构件从预制厂到施工现场的运输和交付过程。该方案减少了起重机作业和人力需求。
For example, one solution streamlines the transportation and delivery of precast components from the fabrication yard to the construction site through an inloader, which uses a hydraulic jack system. The solution reduces crane operations and manpower needs.
另一项正在淡滨尼某工地试点的技术，利用卫星定位和数字地形模型来更精确地指导挖掘作业。
Another technology being piloted at a site in Tengah is a system that uses satellite positioning and digital terrain models to guide excavation more precisely.
徐先生表示，除了技术创新之外，政府还在数字化和简化行政流程，以便为商业伙伴提供便利。
Beyond technical innovation, Mr Chee said the government is digitalising and streamlining administrative processes to make it easier for business partners.
建屋发展局已取消了建筑项目招标250新元（约合195美元）的文件费，并建立了RetailerLink这一站式平台，供企业访问建屋局的电子服务，该平台将持续更新并推出更多服务。
HDB has removed the document fee of S$250 (US$195) for building project tenders, and set up RetailerLink, a one-stop platform for businesses to access HDB’s e-Services, which will continue to be updated with more services.
徐先生说：“我们需要在所有这些方面全力推进。因为它们有着共同的目标，那就是帮助我们建造更多、更快、更好的房屋，同时继续为新加坡人交付优质的住宅。”
“We need to press ahead on all these fronts,” said Mr Chee. “Because they share a common purpose, which is to help us to build more, build faster and build better, while continuing to deliver quality homes for Singaporeans.”
