The SISV QS Division, in collaboration with NEC Contracts, hosted the SISV NEC4 Introductory Seminar.

The seminar brought together quantity surveyors, consultants, contractors, developers and public sector representatives to explore the structure, risk allocation and practical administration of NEC4 contracts in Singapore.

Key topics included:
• The NEC4 contract structure and main Options
• Early warning, programme management and compensation events
• Contract administration and project behaviour
• Singapore specific amendments and Z clauses
• Practical considerations for tendering and administering NEC4 contracts

The session began with a welcome speech by Sr Giselle Chieng, followed by an NEC overview presented by Ms Himashi Soriano and an NEC introduction seminar led by Prof Gabriel Kor.

The programme also featured an engaging panel discussion with representatives from JTC, Rider Levett Bucknall, Changi Airport Group and Shimizu. The panellists shared valuable insights drawn from their live project experience.

We thank all speakers and panellists for delivering an informative and engaging session, and all participants for their active contribution.

Special appreciation goes to everyone involved in coordinating and supporting the event.

A key takeaway for anyone working with NEC4 contracts is the importance of reading beyond the standard form and carefully reviewing the project specific amendments. The applicable Z clauses may significantly affect the contract’s procedures, time periods and dispute resolution mechanisms.

The SISV Young Quantity Surveyors (YQS) Committee was pleased to organise a technical site visit to CR101 – Changi East Depot on Friday, 21 August 2026.

The visit gave our members valuable first-hand insights into a major rail infrastructure project, with particular focus on the Quantity Surveying, cost management and commercial aspects of delivering a complex national asset.

From a QS perspective, some key takeaways included:

• Establishing consistent standards and formats for payment assessment across different trades and contractors.
• The importance of proper checking, verification and review of work done before certification.
• Closely monitoring differences between design quantities and actual site quantum, as seemingly small variations can result in significant cost implications.
• Understanding the importance of ground and foundation works, where early technical decisions can have substantial commercial consequences.
• Managing interfaces between the main contractor and Specialist Work Contractors (SWCs).
• Appreciating the close relationship between design, constructability, workmanship and cost control.

The visit also highlighted that effective cost management starts well before a payment claim is submitted. Strong processes, accurate measurement, effective manpower planning and close coordination are essential to maintaining cost certainty throughout the project.

We were grateful for the opportunity to visit the Main Workshop and Administration Building and gain a better appreciation of the scale and complexity of the works.

Sincere thanks to Land Transport Authority – We Keep Your World Moving (LTA) and China Jingye Engineering Corporation Limited (Singapore Branch) for kindly facilitating the visit.

Special appreciation to Mr Lim Teck Leng for his excellent tour guidance and for generously sharing his valuable technical and commercial knowledge and experience with our participants.

We would also like to acknowledge SISV YQS Committee member Sr Dan Tee and CPD Committee member Sr Raymond Ooi Siang for their efforts in arranging and facilitating the event.

On Saturday, 26 September 2026, the SISV Quantity Surveying Division (QSD) Council and Committee came together at Orchid Country Club for our 2026 Retreat, led by SISV QSD President, Sr Colin Kin.

The Retreat provided an important opportunity for the Council and Committee to step away from our usual business and focus on the bigger picture — the future direction of the QS profession and SISV QSD.

A key focus was the 14 recommendations of the Quantity Surveyors Workgroup, spanning talent attraction, professional development and retention, professional standing, business sustainability, technology and AI adoption, as well as how we reposition and articulate the value of the QS profession for the future.

We also discussed QSD accounting and membership matters, QS Convention 2026, and SISV restructuring matters. More importantly, the Retreat was about turning recommendations into actions, responsibilities and tangible outcomes for our profession.

Our sincere thanks to Hon Treasurer, Sr Carol Low, and the SISV Secretariat team for their excellent arrangements and coordination in making the Retreat possible.

After a morning of thoughtful discussions, exchanges and planning, we wrapped up the Retreat in the best way possible — with a sit-down lunch, good fellowship and plenty of laughter!

Thank you to everyone who contributed their time, ideas and energy. Together, we continue to shape a stronger, more progressive and future-ready QS profession.

SISV recently held its seminar on “Recent Developments in SOPA 2026”, bringing together legal and Quantity Surveying perspectives on statutory adjudication and its practical implications for the profession.

Mr Sathiaseelan Jagateesan, Partner and Co-Head of Construction & Engineering at Allen & Gledhill, shared key developments and practical considerations under the SOP Act, including the effect of adjudication determinations on subsequent claims and the interplay between adjudication, contract administration and arbitration.

Mr Soh Lip San, Partner at Rajah & Tann, focused on the QS’s role in valuation and payment administration, including defensible valuations, professional responsibility and recent developments concerning adjudication review — highlighting that Quantity Surveyors sit at the point where “physical progress becomes money.”

Following the two presentations, the panel discussion was moderated by Sr Stanley Chang Hon Wah, Honorary Secretary of SISV QSD. Joined by Sr Natalie Yong, 1st Vice President of SISV QSD, the panel extended the discussion beyond SOPA to the recently announced QS Workgroup recommendations, exploring how Quantity Surveyors can better position themselves for higher-value and more strategic roles.

A key takeaway resonated strongly: the future QS should not merely produce the number, but be able to explain it, substantiate it, defend it and understand its contractual and commercial consequences.

Greater recognition of the QS profession must go hand-in-hand with greater competency, professional judgement and responsibility.

SISV extends its appreciation to Mr Sathiaseelan Jagateesan, Mr Soh Lip San, Sr Natalie Yong and Sr Stanley Chang for an engaging and thought-provoking session and thanks to Sr Carol Low for being an emcee for the event.

On 4 September 2026, SISV YQS held a fireside chat with young and aspiring Quantity Surveyors, creating a platform to listen, exchange views and better understand the aspirations of the next generation.

The discussion featured Sr Colin Kin, Sr Vincent Leong, Sr Dan Tee and Ms Jessamine Lim, moderated by Sr Stanley Chang.

The session was especially timely, with the Quantity Surveyors Workgroup recommendations announced on the same day, focusing on attracting talent, developing and retaining future ready QS professionals, and strengthening the sustainability of QS firms.

The fireside chat reinforced an important point: building the QS talent pipeline is not only about attracting people into the profession. It is also about listening to them, supporting their development and giving them clear reasons to stay, grow and lead.

To our Young Quantity Surveyors — your voice matters. We encourage you to speak up, ask questions, share your ideas and interact more actively with your peers and senior members of the profession. Don’t just wait for opportunities to come to you — be part of the conversation, challenge the way we do things, bring new perspectives and connect with one another. The profession needs to hear what you think, what you aspire to and what you believe the future of QS should look like.

The future of Quantity Surveying should not only be shaped for the next generation.

It should be shaped with them.

SISV will continue to create opportunities for meaningful dialogue with young professionals as we work together to strengthen the future of the profession.

𝗔 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 — 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗡𝗼𝘄

SISV welcomes the announcement by Minister Indranee Rajah on the recommendations of the Quantity Surveyors Workgroup.

Since its formation in February 2026, the Workgroup has spent the past seven months engaging stakeholders, understanding the challenges facing the QS profession, refining recommendations and developing concrete implementation plans. It brought together government agencies, service buyers, QS firms, TACs and Institutes of Higher Learning to strengthen the profession’s workforce and business resilience.

Our sincere appreciation to Minister Indranee, BCA, and all our Workgroup partners for their strong support, commitment and contributions throughout this journey.

The recommendations set out an ambitious direction for our profession — to attract and develop talent, raise professional standing, strengthen business sustainability, and embrace technology and AI.

And importantly, this is not just a report. There are concrete actions ahead — from expanding INSPIRE, strengthening the APQS pathway and career progression, to launching the QS Value Articulation Framework and developing an AI-enabled cost intelligence platform.

For SISV, the report is not the finish line. It is the starting point.

The work starts now.

And this is a call to every Quantity Surveyor in Singapore.

Whether you are a young QS taking your first steps, an experienced practitioner, a QS firm leader, an educator, or a retired professional who has helped build this profession - this is our moment.

Let us come together as one QS community.

Let us raise the profile of our profession.
Let us invest in our people.
Let us embrace technology and AI.
Let us challenge ourselves to deliver greater value.
And let us build a profession that the next generation will be proud to join.

The next chapter of the QS profession belongs to all of us.
