CaseTrust Grant FAQ: Everything Renovation Contractors Need to Know
Get answers to the most frequently asked questions on subsidies, timelines, and documentation—helping you navigate the CaseTrust Grant with confidence.
1. What Is the CaseTrust Grant?
The CaseTrust Grant is a time-limited initiative designed to encourage renovation businesses to pursue CaseTrust accreditation.
By offering up to 80% subsidies on first-year accreditation fees, it reduces the financial barriers to adopting
best practices such as transparent pricing and robust consumer protection measures.
2. Who Is Eligible to Apply?
Generally, any Singapore-registered renovation contractor can apply, provided they meet CaseTrust’s fair-trading
requirements. Businesses that were accredited within the last few years may need to check if they qualify for fresh subsidies.

for more details on eligibility and the application process.
3. What Expenses Are Covered?
The grant typically covers a portion of first-year accreditation fees and may extend to consultancy services
up to a certain limit. This can significantly offset costs related to:
- Documentation review and preparation
- Site assessment fees (for Silver Tier)
- Annual management or renewal fees (depending on your tier)
4. How Long Does the Accreditation Process Take?
Timelines vary based on the thoroughness of your documentation and responsiveness to accreditation requirements.
Bronze Tier applicants typically only submit paperwork, while Silver Tier may involve an on-site assessment.
Staying organized and proactive can expedite your approval.
5. What Documents Do I Need to Prepare?
You’ll likely need:
- Company registration and financial records
- Standard operating procedures (SOPs) for customer service, dispute resolution, etc.
- Contracts or agreements showing transparent pricing and fair terms
Ensure all materials are up-to-date, clearly labeled, and easily accessible to streamline the assessment process.
