Singapore, 18 January 2021 – The Minister for National Development, Desmond Lee, in his opening speech at BCA-REDAS Built Environment and Property Prospect seminar today, announced that the industry-led Digitalising Built Environment Alliance for Action (AfA) will be launching industry-wide Common Data Environment (CDE) data standards, which have been established to drive the adoption of digital platforms.
The AfA targets to invite 300 leading firms in the industry to start adopting digital platforms based on the set of data standards. Firms can take advantage of funding from the Productivity Solutions Grant to do so. This will have a multiplier effect, as these firms will in turn bring the companies in their supply chains on board the digitalisation journey.
A CDE allows project teams to create, organise and share information to foster collaboration, make timely decisions and take early interventions during the project’s delivery and building maintenance life cycle. CDE data standards specify what information is required for a building project and how it can be structured to facilitate sharing and collaboration among project team members using CDE.
The Building and Construction Authority (BCA) and AfA will also work closely with the Real Estate Developers’ Association of Singapore (REDAS) and other developers to encourage their industry partners, especially smaller consultants and subcontractors, to digitalise and adopt the data standards in their future projects through providing training courses and funding support.
“REDAS is supportive of the AfA on [its initiatives to digitalise the built environment], including the development of the CDE data standards, and welcomes the opportunity to work alongside government agencies and industry players within the built environment (BE) cluster to shape the future of the BE ecosystem. Our extensive network of real estate developers will be able to contribute their development expertise and generate a ‘pull’ effect to galvanise industry players to come forth as a catalyst for digital transformation [to achieve] greater resilience and efficiency,” said Chia Ngiang Hong, President of REDAS.
