SLOTS

Singapore List of Trade Sub-contractors

The SLOTS Scheme was launched by SCAL in October 1992 to provide a list of competent subcontractors for the reference of main contractors, consultants and developers. Only SLOTS or BCA registered contractors will be granted work permits for their foreign workers.

From 1 June 2025, by default, SCAL will submit an application to BCA on behalf of all firms that are successfully registered in SLOTS trade heads, except those in ES03, ES04, ES05, and ES06, for registration on BCA’s Contractors Registration System (CRS) in the CRS workhead(s) corresponding to the SLOTS trade head(s) they are registered in. You may refer to the mapping between SLOTS registration head(s) and CRS workhead(s) here.

Firms that only wish to apply for SLOTS without CRS may opt out of this arrangement when filling up the SLOTS application form.  Please be reminded that firms are required to be registered in CRS to be able to hire new, or renew the work passes of their construction foreign workers (FWs) (i.e. S Pass and/or Work Permit holders) of all nationalities.

All SLOTS firms that wish to submit a CRS application through SCAL are required to comply with the following when submitting the application for SLOTS registration or membership renewal:

  1. Read and agree to the CRS Terms of Registration and Guidelines on BCA’s website;
  2. Agree to make a CRS application to BCA, through SCAL; and
  3. Meet the minimum financial, technical personnel, track record, and licensing requirements of the corresponding CRS workhead(s), as set out in the applicable Specific Registration Requirements on BCA’s website at all times during the registration.  

BCA will directly notify you via email upon your successful registration in CRS. CRS-registered firms may view the CRS workhead(s) and grade(s) they are registered in on the BCA Directory.
