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.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
