The Government is raising the bar on construction quality and safety standards following the Nicoll Highway tragedy in 2004.

Changes to the bill will also require building developers to go green - new buildings and existing ones undergoing major retrofitting will be mandated by law to meet minimum environmental sustainability standards.
