What will happen to the approvals that were obtained under CORENET 2.0? Do I have to restart the whole approval process in CORENET X all the way from Design Gateway and remodel everything in IFC+SG format?

Agencies’ approvals that have already been issued under CORENET 2.0 will remain valid. Works that have commenced on site based on approvals obtained under CORENET 2.0 can continue and the relevant permits issued will remain valid. Project teams will only need to apply for the outstanding approvals under the respective Gateways.

You will only need to obtain the outstanding approvals from respective agencies at the relevant Gateway. There is no need to reobtain any approvals previously obtained under CORENET 2.0.

CORENET X can support both BIM and non-BIM projects, albeit under the new process. To facilitate transition, openBIM requirements (i.e. IFC+SG), will not be imposed on ongoing projects as it will require a lot of effort from the QPs to remodel the submissions.
