When a main contractor, a facilities manager or a government agency shortlists firms for a Singapore job, someone opens a browser and looks you up. They want to know three things fast: are you registered for this kind of work, is your grade high enough for the contract value, and have you done similar jobs before. If your website answers those questions on one clear page, you look tender-ready. If it only shows a slider and a phone number, you look like a risk.
This guide is for renovation, M&E, fit-out and specialist trade firms in Singapore that want to bid for public sector work, or work as subcontractors on it, and want their website to back up the paperwork.
A tender-ready profile page does not replace the documents you submit on GeBIZ or to a main contractor. It does a different job: it lets the person evaluating you confirm, in a minute or two, that your claims are real and current. Think of it as the public version of your company profile PDF.
So keep it factual, dated and easy to check. Workhead codes, grades and project values do the work here, not slogans.
BCA describes the CRS as Singapore's nation-wide registry of construction firms. Firms register if they want to tender for public sector construction projects or work as first-level subcontractors on them. On the same page, BCA also states that since 1 June 2025, firms that want to hire construction S Pass or Work Permit holders must first register with CRS, so many smaller renovation and trade firms now hold a CRS registration even if they never bid on GeBIZ.
Registration is by workhead. BCA lists about 50 workheads in five groups: Construction (CW), Construction-Related (CR), Mechanical and Electrical (ME), Trade Heads (TR) and Regulatory Workheads (RW). Each group has its own grades, from A1 to C3 for CW and L6 to L1 for CR and ME.
Your grade sets the size of public contract you can tender for. BCA publishes the tendering limits for each grade. For the period 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027, a CW01 General Building firm at grade C3 can tender up to S$0.8 million, C1 up to S$5 million and B2 up to S$16 million. For CR and ME workheads, L1 is S$0.8 million, L3 is S$5 million and L5 is S$16 million.
So a procurement officer who reads "ME workhead, grade L2" on your page can tell straight away that you fit a S$1 million job and not a S$10 million one. Put the exact workhead code and grade on the page, not just "BCA registered".
Government tenders run through GeBIZ. HDB's tender eligibility page lists GeBIZ Trading Partner registration for all tender types, BCA contractor registration for construction and related projects, and notes that the required workheads and minimum financial grade are stated on each tender notice. If you are a GeBIZ Trading Partner, say so on the page.
Safety is part of public sector evaluation. MOM states that from 1 April 2024, all public construction and construction-related tenders come under its Safety Disqualification framework, which applies to main contractors on projects from S$90,000 to S$1 million and to all levels of subcontractors above S$1 million. You cannot "show" a clean record with a badge, but you can show what you do have: your bizSAFE level and expiry date, any ISO 45001 certificate, and the name of your safety officer or coordinator if you have one.
Use a simple table, not a row of logos. One row per registration:
Add trade licences in the same table if your trade needs them: EMA electrical worker licences, PUB licensed plumber, BCA approved window contractor, HDB listings. A buyer should never have to email you to find out whether a licence is still valid.
List what you do yourself and what you subcontract. Evaluators look for this because it tells them how much of the job you control. "Electrical installation, ACMV, plumbing and sanitary: in-house. Fire protection: through a registered partner" is far more useful than "one-stop M&E solutions".
This is the section that wins or loses you the shortlist. For each project give:
Keep public and private projects in separate lists, newest first. A short honest list beats a long vague one.
Name your key people and their qualifications: project manager, site supervisor, safety officer, licensed electrical workers. Add your direct workforce size and main equipment, using numbers you can back up.
Offer the same content as a PDF company profile, dated on the cover. Procurement teams often need to attach it to an evaluation file. If you do not have one yet, our company profile design service builds the page and the PDF from the same content, so they never disagree.
Put it in the main menu as "Company Profile" or "Credentials", and link to it from each service page. For M&E firms, our M&E contractor website layout already has a credentials section, a project list and a quote form that pre-fills the service the visitor picked. Renovation firms that also serve homeowners should read what you can legally claim about HDB renovation.
No. You need CRS registration for public sector tendering, first-level subcontracting on public projects, or hiring construction S Pass and Work Permit holders, not for having a website. If you do hold one, showing the workhead, grade and expiry helps buyers trust you.
Where your client agreement allows it, yes, at least as ranges such as "S$500,000 to S$1 million". Values tell buyers what size of job you can handle, which is exactly what your grade suggests.
Yes, as long as you state your role clearly. Listing it as if you were the main contractor is the kind of claim that ends a shortlist.
Whenever a registration is renewed or a project completes, and check it at least once a quarter. Put a "last updated" date at the top so buyers know it is current.
