The heat is on for the advocacy of a much greener cityscapes and buildings in Singapore. The Building and Construction Authority (BCA) in the country announced that they aim that in 2030, Singapore will be much greener than today with 80% of its building certified to be green. Being "green" doesn't entirely and literally mean buildings will be painted green all over. That is, these buildings and infrastructures will be water and energy efficient, with a high quality and healthy indoor environment, integrated with green spaces and constructed from eco-friendly materials. In Singapore's densely built land area with limited space and few natural resources, pursuing green environment is necessary to sustain. In 2012, the government has started their campaign by building public housing blocks as testing ground for future eco-friendly projects. Over 80% of Singapore's residents live in public housing, called HDBs after the Housing and Development Board that builds them. They put various eco-friendly features in Treelodge@Punggol, as the project is named, that help capitalizing on the wind, enhancing greenery, reducing energy consumption, etcetera, all in one development. However, maintaining eco-friendly building such as this comes at a high price as well. To afford the cost, the government tied up with private sectors to continuously provide the funding. There are currently 1, 700 green buildings in Singapore, making up approximately 21% of the total building stock. It is projected to hit 35% in 2020, according to Singaporean-German Chamber of Industry and Commerce. There is also greater awareness of the benefits and strong business case of green buildings.

Singapore - The infrastructure industry is growing by the minute and not only does it affect the leading cities in Asia like China and India on its growth but developing nations as well such as Indonesia and Singapore. Axis Capital Group, with branches on both countries, has predicted this growth and has leveled with the biggest names in the industry in Singapore. In pursuance of delivering only quality construction equipment, the company also aims to provide Singapore as well as Indonesia with all the assistance it can give for growth. In Singapore alone, construction contracts are predicted to reach between $29 billion to $36 billion this year, given a sustained pipeline of public sector projects. This is according to the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) Singapore. This follows an exceptionally strong performance from last year where a total construction demand set a new record of $37 billion, fuelled by a higher volume of institutional and civil engineering construction contracts. According to Global Intelligence, Singapore is the ninth most attractive city for real-estate investors for 2015. Many foreign investors have come to the country in search of greener pastures. However, as many alien nations seek out Singapore's potential, many of the country's wealthy business owners travel abroad for the expansion of their own brands, especially in UK, Australia, America, Japan and in the capital of Indonesia, Jakarta. Nevertheless, the nation's growth remains debatable and has been contested by other reviews. According to Bloomberg Business, Singapore said a global slowdown in the final months of the year will cap full-year economic growth at about 3 percent before an uneven recovery in 2015.The country's main economy remains modest despite the slight increase but many still believes that there is still a bright future ahead for the construction industry.

From the last quarter of 2014, buildings are required to meet the following criteria: 1. Meet higher minimum Buildable Design and Constructability standards. 2. Use prefabricated and standardized components. 3. Adopt high-impact productive technologies for projects under the Government Land Sales (GLS) programme. These include the adoption of Prefabricated Bathroom Units (PBUs) in residential (non-landed) sites, including Executive Condominiums, and the residential (non-landed) component of mixed-use sites sold under the GLS programme. It is expected that many more business owners are planning to invest in construction of their companies this year.
