### 2. Standalone Plant vs. Multi-User Ramp-Up
* **Standalone Detached / Semi-D Factory:**
* Offers an independent compound, private vehicular parking/marshalling yard, exclusive overhead gantry cranes, and unshared substation capacity.
* **Large Ramp-Up Unit (Single Floorplate ~15k–20k sq ft):**
* Direct 40-foot container access to door-step loading bays with shared security and building maintenance (e.g., *West Park BizCentral* at Pioneer, *Woodlands Spectrum*).

### 3. Critical Technical & Statutory Checkpoints
1. **Electrical Loading:** Ensure the unit supports your machinery demand (e.g., 400A to 1,000A 3-phase, or higher with a dedicated step-down transformer).
2. **Floor Loading & Ceiling Height:** Standard heavy machinery requires **15 to 25+ kN/m²** and **8.0m to 12.0m clear ceiling height** (especially if installing 5T–20T overhead travelling cranes).
3. **JTC Subletting Compliance:** If leasing a JTC-governed facility, your trade must comply with JTC’s **approved primary usage**, and your business must be endorsed under JTC’s subletting framework (standard JTC sublet fee applies).
4. **Environmental Clearances:** Siting must meet **NEA Pollution Control Department (PCD)** baseline buffer distances and trade effluent discharge limits.
