RICS Singapore Commercial Management of Construction Seminar

Overview

Singapore's construction sector is navigating a period of unprecedented disruption. Volatile material costs, fractured supply chains, geopolitical uncertainty and the rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI) are reshaping how projects are financed, procured, delivered and disputed. Against this backdrop, commercial professionals are being asked to do more with less: manage greater risk, protect tighter margins and deliver increasingly complex mega projects with confidence.

Building success: commercial excellence in a disruptive market is a full-day seminar dedicated to the commercial skills and strategies that make the difference. The programme spans the complete commercial life cycle.

The morning opens with a construction market outlook and an employer's perspective on master planning and development, before examining supply chain resilience, new developments in procurement and contract management, and the complexities of commercial management in mega projects – from cashflow and risk to stakeholders and contracts.

The afternoon turns to collaborative contracting in practice, including NEC4 and early contractor involvement, responsible use of AI in commercial management, the role of the expert in dispute resolution, delay analysis techniques and the common causes of construction contract issues.

Offering six CPD hours and closing with an extended networking session, the seminar is designed for quantity surveyors, commercial managers, contractors, developers, consultants and construction lawyers seeking practical strategies to build commercial excellence in a disruptive market.
