The reasons for low FT application rates for the PLH is the high costs, long waiting time of 59 months and 8% claw back. There are many ST.

My HFE application in Oct 2023 took more than a month to processed. So it's good to apply early. Btw, the HFE letter is now valid for 9 months from date of issue.
What i suggestion is for BTO, HFE is after the sale launch than start apply, let the applicate 1 week period to apply HFE, if they never done so, should void their application, i dont mind the result take 3 4 mths since the BTO also must wait 4 5 years. If gov 1 2 check their salary, is use the cpf statement instead payslip...

Applicants can just follow HDB instructions to apply HFE in advance for their interested BTOs. Sufficient BTOs information are already released before actual BTO application start.

HFE last for 9 months. The applicant just need to have a valid HFE during application. It does not matter whether HFE has expired before applicant is called up flat selection. The applicant can still book for unit even HFE has expired.

3-6 months before unit selection starts.
It is a long BTO process. It will take 1 year+ to clear all the q number for previous BTOs (Now it is probably shorter due lower application rate).
Follow by signing lease agreement. It take around 2 years from applying till signing lease agreement.

Do you know when does the estimated building time start? Like if it’s 4 years, roughly start from bto results?

It varies among BTOs. Unable to provide an estimate good enough for any planning purpose.

HDB does provide updates including pictures from time to time. You can also refer to this website to check on the development progress: https://www.btohq.com/bto-sales-launch/dec-2023-bto

I believe the foundation works are already in progress for some but not all the projects as stated in the above website. I have visited the site behind Petir Park 2 weeks ago but saw only 2 tents with some equipment lying on the field and nobody was around.

Why Sin Ming BTO started construction earlier ah? Actually when don't all projects start building earlier before even application open up like the current Sin Ming BTO? That way the waiting time can be cut by quite a bit

This project was already spotted by someone way before this BTO. There is the reason why the current BTO model was adopted. Last time HDB were also built first in excess. HDB could not offload them.
