Over 150 industry leaders gathered at the recent BCA-SCAL Seminar and Technology Showcase, to share and learn about innovative solutions designed to drive efficiency, competitiveness, and productivity in the built environment.
Underscoring the significance of Advanced Manufacturing and Assembly (AMA), the seminar covered :
• Practical implementation strategies for AMA
• Latest directions on Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA)
adoption
• Testing of waterproof integrity of mechanical joints to ensure performance and durability
• Case studies of companies implementing smart design and technologies
In SCAL's Productivity & Technology Committee Chairman, Mr Andy Lu's speech, he emphasized how enhancing productivity is critical in driving industry transformation. He cited two successful adopters of innovative solutions, who are also SCAL’s Annual Productivity Innovation Award (PIA) 2025 recipients:
• China Construction Realty Co. - Implemented Precast Lift Shaft system, that boosted productivity by 53%, reduced manpower by 56%, and cut construction time by 89%.
• Obayashi Singapore Pte Ltd - Its Innovative Prefabricated Steel Collar Formwork System, saved 1.5 days of installation per column, improving safety, and reducing complex work at height.
Participants were exposed to a showcase of technologies from industry leaders like Genios, JLFC Pte Ltd, Leviat, Peikko APAC, Precast India Connection, and Technos Co Ltd, demonstrating productivity-enhancing solutions ready for adoption.

Driving Innovation and Technology (I&T) in the Built Environment (BE)
We're excited to share about an industry-led collaboration that's transforming how we inspect and maintain our buildings and the Built Environment (BE) sector in Singapore. As part of the Built Environment Accelerated Market Programme (BEAMP) Cycle 5, the Building and Construction Authority (BCA), EnterpriseSG - Southeast Asia, and JTC Corporation have come together to support an innovative project focused on autonomous inspection of residential estate corridors.
dConstruct Robotics, in collaboration with EM Services Pte Ltd , has developed the d.ASH-ER Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR). The AMR demonstrates remarkable autonomous functionality, including the ability to navigate independently along corridors and walkways, take lifts without human intervention, and conduct 3D scanning to generate building models.
Its advanced video analytics system can identify and classify building defects and hazardous objects with up to 70% accuracy, significantly enhancing inspection efficiency and safety protocols. This allows property officers to partake in higher value tasks such as providing tele-operations and remote real-time control of robot.
This collaboration exemplifies how public-private partnerships can accelerate the adoption of transformative technologies in our BE sector. BCA will continue to foster industry-led innovation that enhances the quality, safety, and efficiency of Singapore's built environment through initiatives like BEAMP.
