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.

🙌 The 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 (𝐅𝐌) 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 (𝐂𝐨𝐏) session on 21 Nov, jointly organised by BCA and JTC, brought together FM service buyers from 20 organisations to exchange ideas on how value chain integration can transform the way FM services are procured and delivered.
In a sector as interconnected as the Built Environment, collaboration across the value chain is essential not just for efficiency and service excellence, but also sustainability, innovation, and talent attraction and retention. BCA shared how progressive FM procurement practices can address key industry challenges like inequitable risk allocation, and payment delays.
👏 Thank you to Incendium Consulting for sharing valuable insights on how clear strategic definition builds trust and long-term partnerships, and JTC for sharing their experience on subcontractor management that strengthens collaboration on the ground.
The takeaways from this FM CoP session are invaluable and will contribute to BCA’s revised Guide on FM Procurement.

Congratulations to the 88 Professional Engineers (PEs) at last week’s 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐁𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝 (𝐏𝐄𝐁) 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓! Six of them are from BCA, and we couldn’t be prouder. As the engineers took their solemn pledge to uphold the highest standards of public safety, integrity, and professionalism, it reminds us of their commitment and why a PE is one of the most respected credentials in engineering.
Second Minister for Finance and National Development, Ms Indranee Rajah, graced the event and highlighted that to create a future-ready engineering profession, engineers must embrace a culture of continuous learning and adaptability while developing interdisciplinary skills that integrate new technologies.
Becoming a PE is no easy feat; it demands years of professional experience and rigorous study for the Fundamentals of Engineering exam and mastery of the Practice of Professional Engineering exam. But it is all worthwhile as a PE’s work has a direct impact on public safety and the city we live in, influencing how we live, move, and interact with our environment.

From next year, graduates beyond the four traditional engineering branches of civil, electrical, mechanical and chemical may qualify for PE registration by completing supplementary programmes in the prescribed branch and passing the PE exams. This widens the talent pool and supports cross-disciplinary innovation.
👉 𝙍𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙜𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙄𝙣𝙙𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙮-𝙍𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙮 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙙𝙪𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨
PEB will recognise up to 6 months of internship or pre-qualification work experience as part of the 4-year practical experience required for PE registration, thereby boosting mentorship, hands-on learning, and a smooth transition into the profession.
As we honour our PEs and welcome new pathways for future generations, we celebrate a profession that continues to build a safer, smarter, and more sustainable Singapore. To read the full speech by Second Minister for Finance and National Development, Ms Indranee Rajah, visit, go.gov.sg/peb25speech
