Main Upgrading Programme

Main Upgrading Programme
Upgraded elevators in a HDB block. Lift A (left), built under LUP specifications stops at all floors, while Lift B (right) is usually seen in older IUP/MUP projects as an aesthetic update that continues to stop at selective floors.

The Main Upgrading Programme, or MUP (Chinese: 主要翻新), was formally launched in July 1990, initiating a massive physical upgrading exercise for the thousands of flats built by the Housing and Development Board in Singapore.

History

In July 1990, the government experimented with the concept of upgrading HDB flats while they were still being occupied on 6 precincts in a Demonstration Phase. These precincts were in Marine Parade, Kim Keat, Telok Blangah, Ang Mo Kio, Lorong Lew Lian and Clementi. The Demonstration Phase was a success, and was hence, expanded island-wide.

Under the MUP, improvements are carried out to the precinct's surroundings, the blocks, as well as within each individual dwelling unit.

Blocks completed up to 1980 are eligible for the MUP.

As at August 2007, 137 precincts have been announced for the MUP.

Home Improvement Programme

The Home Improvement Programme (HIP), a new programme announced by HDB in August 2007, is set to replace the Main Upgrading Programme (MUP). The HIP offers lessees a choice on the works they want to be included in the upgrading of their flats. It also helps lessees deal with common maintenance problems in ageing flats, such as spalling concrete and ceiling leaks, in a systematic and comprehensive manner. Flats built up to 1986 which have not undergone the Main Upgrading Programme are eligible for HIP.
