Contractors listed in the DRC are required to abide by our terms and ensure that your work:

Demerit Points System (DPS)

You may receive demerit points if you do not adhere to the renovation and administrative rules. The DPS is a transparent system, which helps to remind contractors to self-regulate and maintain good performance.

Infringements

Infringements will result in various penalties, including demerit points, penalty fees, suspension or disqualification. You will be delisted from the DRC if you receive a total of at least 24 demerit points within 24 months.
