THE Ministry of National Development (MND) will step up the pace of industry transformation for the construction sector, to help them get on a stronger footing post-Covid-19.

"This includes adopting advanced building technologies to allow for cleaner, higher quality, and less manpower-intensive construction. We will drive research, innovation and digitalisation across the built environment value chain, from construction to property transactions services and facilities management," said Minister for National Development Desmond Lee in his ministry's addendum to the President's address.
