We are very honoured to be part of Productivity Race 2017 during the Singapore Construction Productivity Week (SCPW)! The objective of the race is to allow students to learn more about productivity in the construction industry and the roles and job scopes of the built environment professions.   This race was held on 26 October, in conjunction with BuildTech Asia 2017 (24 - 26 October). Our company booth was the third race game. Students dropping by our booth had to find the answers to 2 particular questions for the Race, which were carefully crafted by one of our staff.   The event has been featured in the local news for engaging the youth about the Construction & Built Environment Industry, and encouraging them to make use of their IT-savvy expertise to bring the industry to the next level in the near future. Spot our staff in black interacting with the students in the background!   This event was indeed a meaningful one for us, for the students, as well as for the industry. We can't wait for the next race!  

Yes! It is 1 more month to BuildTech Asia 2017!   We'll be having a great team there showcasing our strength. Wondering what we're up to?
