Challenges Faced & Overcome
Usually Skylights require approval from URA for a size of 3.6 x 8.7 m. Unless, we did a smaller 2 x 8.7 m, where approval is not required.
However, 2 m x 8.7 m just covered half of skylight lattices. So, URA application and approval was obtained by our Contractor and installation carried out successfully.
