The Building and Construction Authority (BCA) is a statutory board under the auspices of Singapore's Ministry of National Development. It was established on 1 April 1999 as a result of the merger between the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) and the Building Control Division of the Public Works Department (PWD).
The primary role of the BCA is to develop and regulate Singapore's building and construction industry; and to develop a technologically advanced construction industry which serves Singapore's economic needs, and to ensure safe buildings and infrastructure.
