At the inaugural, Lift & Escalator (L&E) Excellence Award 2025, Minister for National Development, Mr Chee Hong Tat highlighted the industryโs milestones in attracting talent and boosting careers.
๐น Structured career pathways & wage growth under the Progressive Wage Model (PWM): The PWM has transformed sector attractiveness with structured wage growth, mandatory annual bonuses, and clear career progression.
๐น Continuous upskilling programmes: Developed with BCA, ITE offers Certificate of Competencies (CoCs), the Higher Nitec in Vertical Transportation and the Work-Study Diploma in Vertical Transportation. These programmes ensure our workforce stays ahead of industry demands
๐น Technology and innovation Leadership: Singapore is the first country to adopt the Code of Practice for Remote Monitoring & Diagnostics (RM&D). With over 1,500 RM&D lifts now, the industry has achieved 60% reduction in breakdowns and more than 30% increase in lift uptime, minimising disruption for lift users.
๐น Enhanced workplace conditions: improved lighting, ventilation, and safety measures support a safer, more comfortable work environment for our workforce.
These combined efforts have resulted in:
โ Median wages rising 14% in 2024 and 10% in 2025 across all job levels.
โ PWM L&E workforce growing by 7% over 2 years.
โ Median age of PWM L&E workforce reducing from 46 to 40 years over past two years, beyond the baseline wage floor.
At the awards, 15 outstanding PWM L&E individuals were recognised for technical mastery, leadership, and commitment to safety.
As Singapore's vertical city continues expanding, this transformation shows what we can achieve together when industry partners invest in their people and embrace new technology.

A Day in The Life of A Facilities Manager
Behind every well-managed building is a story, and Shermaine Tan's journey began long before she took on her role as Facilities Manager at CBRE.
What started as heartfelt conversations with a family member grew into a calling: to shape spaces where people feel safe, supported, and able to thrive.
That early spark led her to pursue Built Environment studies at a polytechnic and later at a university, building a strong foundation that deepened her commitment to contribute meaningfully to the spaces people live, work, and gather in. Each step deepened her belief that the Built Environment is more than structures, itโs about improving lives.
Today, Shermaine balances complex operations, people management, and sustainability efforts, but itโs her passion for teamwork and purpose-driven work that truly sets her apart.
Curious how she found her path, and what keeps her inspired in such a dynamic field?

๐ Congratulations to Mandai Wildlife Group and WOW Architects on receiving the Universal Design (UD) Excellence Award 2025 for Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree! ๐ฟ
The resort demonstrates how UD principles can be seamlessly integrated into a resort set in nature. Guests move through a barrier-free network of gentle ramps, connected walkways and accessible facilities. It also includes tactile maps, child-friendly buffet counters, and wheelchair-accessible spa rooms, ensuring all guests, regardless of age or ability, can navigate and enjoy the space with ease.
โจ The project highlights how UD is people-centered, easy to navigate, comfortable to use, and welcoming to diverse users. This has strengthened the repost's commercial viability by attracting and retaining more customers.
๐ก Let's be inspired! Incorporate UD as a core strategy in our next project. It goes a long way in impacting people while future-proofing your commercial success.

This partnership exemplifies the collaborative spirit that BCA champions within our Built Environment sector. Combining expertise, facilities and resources from both parties to support promising start-ups and solutions create a win-win situation, demonstrating how firms who may traditionally be competitors, can become collaborators to drive research and innovation. BCA's Deputy CEO Heng Teck Thai was present to witness this momentous milestone.
As The GEAR by Kajima and GS E&C extend their collaboration with other global ConTech ecosystem stakeholders, they also introduced a shared test-bedding platform for various international markets including Korea, France and Singapore, bringing about upsides for ConTech in Singapore and the wider APAC region:
โ Proof of concept that resource sharing de-risks investments in research and innovation
โ New pathways for accessing international partnerships and markets
โ Enhanced opportunities for local ConTech startups to scale regionally
We are glad that such open collaboration amongst global players is taking root in Singapore, strengthening our position as an international hub for ConTech solutions. We strongly encourage our BE firms to explore similar collaborative models - find out how you can be part of the ConTech ecosystem by staying updated on upcoming BE I&T events at go.gov.sg/bca-it-cal

To elevate construction quality standards, BCA is looking to leverage automated scanning technology to enhance CONQUAS inspections.
The goal is to reliably detect construction flaws, such as water seepage and tile hollowness with measurable accuracy. The solution must:
โ Deliver graduated quality scoring beyond traditional pass/fail assessments
โ Ideally complete a full dwelling unit scan within 30 minutes
โ Produce auditable, traceable results that inspectors can easily interpret
