Collaborative contracting the way forward as BCA seeks to build alliances, streamline processes
A NEW digital platform has been launched, which will streamline the regulatory approval process for construction projects and strengthen coordination within the built environment industry.
Called CoreNet X, the platform was soft-launched on Dec 18, and is expected to result in a reduction of around 20 per cent in the time taken for projects to obtain approval from government agencies.
Prior to this, project parties such as developers and architects prepared and submitted their plans separately to different agencies concurrently. Plans approved by one government agency may conflict with requirements of another agency, or result in conflicts between project parties that would need to be resolved during construction.
