It was a lively evening at the recent SCAL Young Leaders (YL) gathering and networking event!

SCAL YL Chairman Mr Ng Yek Meng joined our YLs together with several council members, taking the time to mingle and exchange ideas. He also shared updates on SCAL's upcoming initiatives for the year ahead. Our young leaders took the chance to share their own projects and ideas for uplifting the industry, including adopting construction tech and AI, and continuing outreach to students to showcase the opportunities in the built environment.

The evening wrapped up over a networking buffet, with plenty of new connections made. Thank you to everyone who came, and to our council members for their continued support of the next generation of industry leaders. 🙏

SCAL President Mr Lee Kay Chai was at the Anti-Corruption Partnership Network (ACPN) Event 2026 organised by Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau, Singapore, where he spoke on the current construction landscape and how governance can be made practical for SMEs.

He shared that good governance goes beyond compliance. It builds trust, protects a firm's reputation and keeps it competitive. For SMEs, this starts with simple, clear processes that work on the ground, supported by leaders who set the right tone from the top.

Conversations like this are valuable for the construction industry as good practices matter at every stage of a project. Raising standards takes the whole industry working together, and SCAL will continue to support our members in building a more resilient sector.

Thank you to CPIB once again for the invitation and for driving this event. 🙏

Last week, we wrapped up the final chapter of our Sustainable Builder Seminar Series. 🌿

On 17 September, Part 3 of the series brought together industry leaders and practitioners to explore how ESG can move beyond conversations and translate into practical, real-world action.

From sustainable construction and innovation to responsible business, governance, EPDs, decarbonisation and circularity, the discussions offered diverse perspectives on how the built environment can continue to evolve.

But the conversation didn’t stop in the seminar room.

On 18 September, participants went behind the scenes at two leading innovation hubs:

🌿 Samwoh Smart Hub, hosted by Samwoh Construction, where participants explored positive energy building design, sustainable construction materials and processes, circular economy approaches, and cutting-edge R&D in pavement engineering.

🤖 The GEAR by Kajima, hosted by Kajima Overseas Asia (Singapore), where participants got a firsthand look at the K/Park Digital Tech Lab, Construction Robotics Lab and Open Innovation Space — showcasing how technology, innovation and collaboration are shaping the future of construction.

From presentations and panel discussions to stepping into real-world innovation spaces, this is what “Building Tomorrow Together” looked like in practice.

A big thank you to all our speakers (Chen Li Dan of China Construction (South Pacific) Development Co. Pte. Ltd., Xin Tian of Dragages Singapore Pte Ltd, Yan Na Chua of ESGpedia, Joanna Cho of National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre, Yanling Xiao of Tiong Seng Contractors (Pte) Ltd, Siu Keong Chew of Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau, Singapore Antoine Babin of Oriental Sheet Piling/ArcelorMittal, Sorada Jingjid of Mapei Singapore, Brian Lee of Soilbuild Group, Benjamin Soh of ESGpedia, Yina Chua of KPMG, Andrew Shuttleworth of Obayashi Singapore Private Limited, Brian Suhadi of Kajima Overseas Asia (Singapore) Pte. Ltd., and Kelvin Lee of Samwoh Corporation), partners (ESGpedia, Mapei Singapore, Inchcape Singapore, National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre, Oriental Sheet Piling/ArcelorMittal, and Maybank) and participants who made this 3-part ESG series possible.

Part 3 may mark the end of this series, but it’s certainly not the end of the conversation.

We look forward to continuing the dialogue, sharing practical insights and working together to build a more sustainable and resilient built environment.

SCAL was pleased to host a delegation from Doosan Group, Korea where we exchanged insights and shared perspectives on the future of the construction industry across the region.

The delegation also joined us for a site visit walk hosted by Woh Hup x Dongah JV, together with our SCAL members, where they had the opportunity to learn about serveral innovative site initiatives including:

🌡️ Implementation of WentiLabs for WBGT monitoring and notifications, supporting proactive heat stress management on site

📹 Deployment of video analytics to enhance safety inspections and strengthen on-site monitoring

🚧 Use of proximity sensors and driver fatigue management solutions to improve safety around site vehicles and machinery

It was a valuable exchange between our two countries, and SCAL looks forward to continued collaboration and knowledge-sharing with our industry peers.

“When you think about your future career, what matters most to you?”

SCAL had the opportunity to engage around 200 Secondary 3 students at Spectra Secondary School last Friday, and their responses were clear: they value good career opportunities, interesting work, learning and growth, job stability, and opportunities to use their strengths and talents.

The good news? They don’t necessarily have to choose as the industry offers diverse career pathways across a wide range of roles, skills and opportunities.

A big thank you to Emily Chua, BIM Modeller at Soilbuild Construction and currently pursuing a Work-Study Diploma shared her journey from ITE to where she is today, giving students a relatable perspective on how education, skills and experience can open doors to different career opportunities in the industry. Raymond Chan from Kwan Yong Construction Pte Ltd brought his wealth of industry experience to the session, sharing practical insights on entering the working world and giving students a glimpse into the diverse opportunities within construction.

As the students prepare to take their first steps into the workplace, we hope the session has given them greater awareness of the many career possibilities within the built environment — and encouraged them to keep an open mind about where their interests and strengths can take them!

Wishing our members, partners, and the wider construction community a joyous Mid-Autumn Festival. May the full moon bring reunion, prosperity, and good health to you and your loved ones.
