    CONSTRUCTION demand is expected to remain strong this year due to sustained public sector contracts, as the industry continues to recover from a challenging three-year spell.

    Total construction demand, which is the value of construction contracts to be awarded, is expected to be between S$27 billion and S$32 billion this year, despite additional cooling measures in the private property market and the delay in construction of the high-speed rail between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur last year.
