Singapore engineers to help construction productivity
Article Type: News From: International Journal of Productivity and Performance Management, Volume 60, Issue 3
“Engineers could help raise construction productivity through better work and design processes”, said Ms Grace Fu, Senior Minister of State for National Development and Education at the recent Professional Engineers Board Day of Dedication in Singapore.
She said:
Since independence, our engineers have played a key role towards the growth and development of our city state. As we strive to make Singapore an endearing home and a distinctive global city, our engineers will continually be called upon to create innovative design solutions for infrastructural developments in our land-scarce country.
We will also require more sophisticated engineering expertise to devise cost-effective solutions to achieve environmental sustainability. These include the development of green buildings, the adoption of sustainable construction practices, and the effective management of facilities in buildings.
