Wait-and-see: 2015 private construction demand to crash by 37% as developers turn cautious

Amid a slowdown in private home sales and global economic uncertainties.

Private sector construction demand is anticipated to moderate to between $11 billion to $15 billion compared to $18 billion in 2014.

According to a media release by BCA, developers may adopt a cautious stance amid a slowdown in private home sales and global economic uncertainties.

Nevertheless, the slowdown is likely to be cushioned by a rise in private sector civil engineering projects such as the proposed infrastructure works for the development of the Changi East Runway 3.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
