The Trust Mark for Fair Trading — What Is CaseTrust?

CaseTrust is one of the most respected certification programmes run by the Consumer Association of Singapore (CASE). The programme is considered the “Gold Standard” in Singapore for companies that have committed to fair trading practices and customer transparency.

For renovation companies, obtaining the CaseTrust accreditation is a public way to show that you have committed to delivering excellent service, and have committed to adhering to the CaseTrust Code of Conduct. CaseTrust gives your company additional credibility and positions your company as a trusted entity in a high stakes industry.

In addition to simply having an accredited company, there are many reasons why having CaseTrust accreditation is important for renovation companies.

Having accreditation gives renovation companies new customers, and a significant competitive edge:

• Building Unshakable Customer Confidence

• Protection and Transparency
• Visibility and Recognition
