Digitalising built-environment sector 'can attract the young to it'

Singapore

DIGITALISING the built-environment sector will change the nature of work there, and make careers in the industry more attractive to young people, the chief executive of the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) said on Friday.

Hugh Lim, speaking to about 300 C-suite executives at the International Built Environment Week 2019 held at the Sands Expo & Convention Centre, said the government's efforts to encourage digitalisation has moved beyond providing support for software and hardware to supporting programmes that connect different parts of the value chain.
