RECENT urbanisation and economic developments in large Asian markets here and in China, India, Indonesia and Vietnam have spiked quality standards in the built environment sector, driving many industry players to look for innovative ways to refresh building processes and be less reliant on labour.

"With a tightening labour supply amidst a strong pipeline of projects in the next few years, the built environment sector must transform itself now to make a quantum leap in productivity," said John Keung, chief executive officer of the Building and Construction Authority (BCA).
