Public infrastructure projects to prop up construction sector in 2015

$29b to $36b worth of contracts will be awarded.

The construction sector can rely on public infrastructure projects to keep demand flowing this year, the Building and Construction Authority said today.

In a speech at the BCA-REDAS Built Environment & Property Prospects Seminar 2015, Senior Minister of State for National Development Lee Yi Shyan said that construction demand momentum will be maintained with an estimated range of $29 billion to $36 billion worth of contracts to be awarded.

This figure is marginally lower than the $38 billion worth of contracts that was awarded in 2014.

“Construction demand over the next five years will remain strong. BCA expects contract values to range from between $26 billion and $37 billion per year. Major healthcare and infrastructure works, such as the remaining contracts for the upcoming MRT lines and Changi Airport Terminal 5 provide support for the industry demand,” he said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
