About Energycarepoint
Established in 2015, Energycarepoint began when three civil engineers in Tampines noticed a gap in Singapore's flooring market. Residential developers and homeowners were choosing between polished concrete and ceramic tiles without access to comparative data on actual performance in tropical conditions.
Our Foundation Story
The company started in a small office at Tampines Street 11, where we conducted our first comparative study on flooring materials for ground floor HDB flats. We tested 12 different polished concrete finishes against 15 tile varieties over 18 months, measuring wear patterns, maintenance requirements, and actual costs including installation and upkeep.
By 2017, we had compiled data from 47 residential projects across Tampines, Bedok, and Pasir Ris. The results showed that polished concrete maintained 94% of its original finish after five years in high-traffic areas, while standard ceramic tiles showed visible wear at joints and grout lines. This research became the foundation for our consultation services.
Mission Statement
We provide Singapore homeowners with factual comparisons between polished concrete and traditional tiles. Our mission centers on presenting measured data about durability, maintenance schedules, and total ownership costs over 10-year periods. Each consultation includes samples tested under local humidity conditions and foot traffic patterns typical for ground floor units.
Our approach: We measure concrete hardness using Mohs scale testing, track moisture absorption rates in Singapore's 80% average humidity, and calculate replacement costs based on current material prices from three major suppliers in the eastern region.
Core Values
Evidence-Based Recommendations
We base all flooring suggestions on laboratory testing and field measurements from completed installations. Every material comparison includes documented performance data from Singapore properties.
Transparent Cost Analysis
Our quotes itemize material costs, labor hours, surface preparation requirements, and projected maintenance expenses. Clients receive spreadsheets comparing 5-year and 10-year total costs for both flooring options.
Local Climate Expertise
All our testing accounts for Singapore's specific conditions: 26-28°C average temperature, high humidity, and seasonal monsoon patterns. We understand how these factors affect both concrete curing and tile adhesion.
Experience and Expertise
Our team includes 6 flooring specialists with Building and Construction Authority certifications, 4 project managers with an average of 11 years in residential construction, and 2 materials engineers who conduct ongoing performance testing. We maintain partnerships with three concrete suppliers and four tile importers, allowing us to source materials at competitive rates while maintaining quality standards verified through independent testing.
Since 2015, we have installed polished concrete in 142 ground floor units and traditional tiles in 88 units across eastern Singapore. This hands-on experience with both materials gives us practical insights into installation challenges, drying times during rainy seasons, and long-term performance in tropical conditions that theoretical knowledge cannot provide.
