SOH CHUAN SWEE & Anor v L.S. CONSTRUCTION PTE LTD

Homeowners living across the road from the 'Affinity at Serangoon' construction site sued the construction company for negligence, alleging that demolition, concrete piling, and I-beam extraction works caused damage to their house between November 2018 and April 2021. The key issues were whether the construction vibrations caused the alleged damage and whether the defendant's repair works were performed negligently. The District Court dismissed the claim, finding the claimants failed to prove the defendant was negligent in performing either the vibration-causing construction works or the initial goodwill repair works.
