Professional Engineer Endorsement Services in Singapore

The following qualifications are required to become a licensed Professional Engineer in Singapore:

• Hold an approved engineering degree
• Accumulate at least four years of relevant practical experience
• Pass the Fundamentals of Engineering Examination
• Pass the Practice of Professional Engineering Examination
• Attend a professional interview

Our team of Professional Engineers and fire protection consultants at Pyromech collaborate to meet all these stringent requirements, bringing top-tier expertise and endorsement services to your projects.

The time required to obtain a Professional Engineer endorsement for a building construction project typically ranges from as soon as within 1 working day to a few weeks for submission to authorities , depending on the complexity of the project and the need for an accredited checker’s certificate​. Our mission is to assist the owner to obtain regulatory compliance in a prompt manner.

The key responsibilities of a Professional Engineer during the endorsement process include:

• Reviewing and approving project plans
• Ensuring compliance with local regulations and safety standards
• Conducting site inspections
• Providing technical guidance throughout the construction phase

Building owners must comply with the Fire Safety Act. This includes obtaining approvals from the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), adhering to fire safety safety requirements guidelines, and ensuring compliance with fire safety regulations set by the SCDF.

Professional Engineers oversee the fire certificate application and renewal by evaluating building designs and existing fire safety provisions, ensuring they adhere to strict fire safety regulations. They also compile and submit the required documentation and endorse safety measures.

PE endorsement fees in Singapore depend on the type of system being endorsed (fire protection, gas, HVAC, electrical), the number of authorities involved (BCA, SCDF, or both), whether site inspections are part of the scope, and the complexity of the calculations required. Authority processing fees charged by BCA and SCDF are separate from the PE professional fee. Contact Pyromech with your project brief for a scoped, written indicative quote.

Choosing a PE endorsement company in Singapore comes down to three factors: registration, discipline match, and track record. Your PE must hold a current Practicing Certificate from the Professional Engineers Board (PEB) Singapore, verifiable by registration number on the PEB website. Each PE registration covers a specific engineering discipline: a PE (Mechanical) endorses M&E and fire safety works; a PE (Civil) or PE (Structural) handles structural submissions.

For fire safety projects, check whether the firm also holds a Senior Fire Safety Manager designation. This signals direct SCDF compliance experience. Pyromech’s founding director is a registered PE (Mechanical) and Senior Fire Safety Manager with over 10 years of project experience across commercial, industrial, government, and institutional buildings in Singapore.

Yes. The PE manages all authority submissions on your behalf, which means you do not need to log into BCA or SCDF systems directly. Initial consultations and document reviews with Pyromech can be conducted remotely. For most clients, the process requires no in-person attendance until a site inspection is called for by the authority.
