For your info, I know about how tender goes about. However u need to realise tat the cost price, or the money they estimated tat is needed to build out the station depends on the company itself. Some companies which r more slack or have poorer equipment can in the end need more money to build up the same station. As such it is natural tat some companies can afford to bid at a lesser price than others. Do u think they will build out something tat cannot earn money ?
As I said before, your only point is tat the company tat construct out the nicoll highway is not a quality or reputable company. In fact it is one of the biggest construction company in singapore, it has already built up several station in the past before, it has good fiancial background and it do have a good track record.
Why don't u just think tat cheaper for the same things u buy is better ? If the transport fees increase due to the increase in building fees for the station, do u like to pay this extra ?
Do u really think a japanese company will be more sub standard compared to a singaporean one ? Do u really think they fail to include safety cost ? For your info the design for everything is already fixed and the contractor just carry out the construction according to the design. There is also regular checks done on the construction site by gov organisation too.
BTW 78% should be comapred with the expected full 100%, not 50%, thus it reflects tat they do not choose a tender just because it is cheap only
Why not start another topic. it out of point here. Sor lee to the rest.

Hmm, if you are from the CCL, there is no point explain anymore. you should know very well what is happening inside now. Last year I had just get out from one of the CCL project.
cost price, poorer equipment etc etc is part of a factor oni. and build out something tat cannot earn money???
Hmm when did Singapore did that. Even it has just like what you ask do u like to pay this extra ? the ppl pay and what can we the ppl say abt it. Isn't NELP supposed to cut and safe cost, look what excuse was used? why it was not factor in way back than?
not a quality or reputable company?Why not check who is the JV 1st. I am talikung abt the
local con here. GOV try to help but 1st they must help themselves, kay.
transport fees increase... should be
public transport fees.
Har, look at it. NELP(btw I was there as well) even b4 it operate the operator make noise that they are not going to make money at all? Look what happen after 6 mth till today. Profits is there kay.

Jap that have been too long in Singapore have become like local contractor but still is still a few notch above.
The pt is still who he JV with kay. 
As for the design, it from LTA not like the NELP. Can you say that the safety-factor is the higher if not the same?

And for the check by GOV in SAFETY will be MOM, STRUCTURE will be BCA. What do you know abt the check done by MOM. Which safety standard are we talking abt now?(For info I am a SAFETY PAX on site) PPL within LTA dun feel safe themselves, ppl like me, what do you think get out for? Money is one factor, nothing to denial abt it.
