Indonesia Leads Asia to Global Development in Construction Market - 1 views
-
willh00p3r on 09 Feb 15According to Asia Construction Outlook 2014, Asian countries have been in the lead in being the fastest pacing countries in the world when it comes to industrialization and construction. Jakarta, Indonesia is forecast to have the highest potential in terms of growth and development. Despite the slow development, the warnings of downfall and the great fluctuations of global economy, Asian countries have remained strong and have maintained their growth and development. The reason for this is said to be because of the demands of urbanization within their walls. Indonesia emerges as a particularly interesting market. Construction spending in the world's fourth-most-populous country accounted for more than a quarter of the nation's gross domestic product last year, with about half of this expenditure funding infrastructure projects. Aecom's survey also found that Jakarta is viewed as the No 1 city in the region for potential market growth and profitability. The country's development is already one of the main topics by analysts and economists and has been in discussion by many sectors all over the world. According to Global Intelligence Alliance report last 2014, property industry in Indonesia is expected to grow within 2015 on rising middle class and infrastructure spending. Indonesian middle class is expected to increase to 90 million. The report also anticipates property prices to increase to 15%-20% as they respond to fuel prices, electricity prices and bank interest rates. The fact that foundation contractors plan to increase prices by 5% in March will also have an impact. The price increase will mostly affect small developers and the low-level segment. The middle-upper market should not be significantly impacted, however, because of the strong rise in purchasing power. Property developers in the retail and condominium segments are particularly interested in the suburbs and outskirts of Jakarta. This shows the fast-paced expansion of
Axis Capital Group Construction Equipment Review: Singapore Leading the Green Wave - 1 views

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.

Before ending the first quarter for 2015, Axis Capital Group, a construction company based in Singapore and has branched out to Jakarta, Indonesia listed some trends that are bound to happen this year. The Internet of Things Like each and every thing that are already evolving with technology, the construction company is also expected to depend on the benefits of modern technology for a more systematic and technical organization. Telematics is having a significant impact on a growing number of industries and construction is no exception. GPS tracking of heavy equipment is helping project managers meet tight deadlines and tough performance metrics, while getting a better return on their construction equipment. Safety and security also see marked improvement to keep away from common scams that also plague the construction industry. Greener World Green building is trendy and cost-effective. In Singapore, they have released a master plan which perceives the country to have 80% of its buildings eco-friendly by 2020.

Construction Firms turns to IT for Project Management - 1 views

Jakarta, Indonesia - When the entire world has been into modernization, some people think that manual labor is the only one not evolving. Well, think again. Even when the construction industry has been adamant to change, builders are now beginning to be dragged into the 21st century by the need to collaborate more closely with their more IT-savvy colleagues, the architects and engineers responsible for the ideas behind their work. Laptops are gradually making an appearance alongside the hard hats of the building site. is this just keeping with the evolving times or are there any other issues that drive the industry to modernization? Reducing risk One of the major factors for this change is that it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain profit margins on building projects. Mindful of high-profile project delivery delays, many commercial or public sector clients have introduced financial penalty clauses in case deadlines are missed. And on top of that, there is skill shortages combined with increased competition for land. Yet often, profits are eaten away by practical issues - delays in receiving drawings, use of outdated data, inaccuracies caused by human error. In some cases of global projects, it is easier to use the latest in technology to bring help from abroad. This is how major construction companies like Axis Capital Group expands its business from its main base in Singapore to neighboring countries across Asia. As a result, the whole of the architecture, engineering and construction industry is looking for ways to reduce risk and maintain its bottom line. On a day-to-day level it is also struggling with the need to communicate and review project drawings and share proliferating number of associated documents that are usually too large to send by e-mail. Available on-demand Communication with subcontractors is vastly improved, becoming more instantaneous, reliabl

Indonesia partners with China in Infrastructure Industry - 1 views
-
Japan has been overlooked by Indonesia as a partner. Instead, it chooses China, one of the most rivaled and sought-after country to be allied with. Many critics say that this is because of the worsening status of traffic in the archipelago' city, Jakarta. Jakarta, infamous for its traffic gridlock, recently won the dubious distinction as the city with the world's worst traffic jams, according to a study by the British industrial and automotive lubricants company Castrol. This once again highlights not only the Indonesian capital's infrastructural shortcomings but also the limited land and sea transport networks across the entire archipelago, as well as the frequent power outages that are the Achilles heel of the country's economy. Jakarta is nonetheless a developing city and one of the most advanced cities in the world. Businesses seem to flock this growing city and investors have pointed out a lot of potential. One of the companies which sells and rents capital equipment all over Asia is Axis Capital Group which is based in Singapore has expanded their services to Jakarta and is now partnering with government agencies, private institutions and non-profit organizations to help Indonesia's infrastructure. Critics though, say that Indonesia is in dire situation, a reason why they have reached out to China. Keen observers of the Indonesian economy believe that China is well placed to meet this demand for infrastructure as an investor, especially with the China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) expected to launch by the end of this year, which will be dedicated to funding infrastructure development in the region. According to reviews, China is regarded as the most viable economic giant to support the development of infrastructure in Indonesia backed by the world's biggest foreign exchange reserves. Despite warnings of fraudulent acts in China and scams on their produ

'Diesel Day' Takes New Career Training Preferences to South Plainfield - 1 views
-
Last Aug. 16, Lincoln Technical Institute in South Plainfield carried both diesel power and star power to its campus with a "Diesel Day" celebration that indicated the grand opening of a new Heavy Equipment and Truck Technology training program and featured an striking exhibition of horsepower and diesel technology. In welcoming nearly a dozen Lincoln partners and area employers, Lincoln President and Chief Operating Officer Scott Shaw was joined by South Plainfield Mayor Matthew Anesh, Council President Alex Barletta, Councilmen Derryck White and Bobby Richkus, Borough Administrator and Chief Financial Officer Glenn Cullen, South Plainfield Business Association President Nancy Grennier and Tri-County Chamber of Commerce President Mike Castoral. Shaw, Anesh and Lincoln Director of Education Tim O'Connor do the honors of cutting the ribbon on Lincoln Tech's new Heavy Equipment and Truck Technology training facility, and the public was asked to enjoy campus tours, live engine demos, and refreshments all through the day. "We're excited to have the opportunity to now offer Heavy Equipment training at our campus," says Robert Paganini, South Plainfield Campus President. "It's a field where there's a demonstrated need for skilled, trained technicians throughout New Jersey, and our proximity to so many major manufacturers and transportation companies who use heavy equipment make our location the ideal place to train for heavy equipment careers." This will come as a great review for heavy equipment careers. Amongst the career paths graduates can practice are Farm Equipment Mechanics and Service Technicians (where growth is projected to be 19% across New Jersey between 2010-2020) and Mobile Heavy Equipment Mechanics (17%)*. The campus also bids hands-on training for careers in Diesel and Truck Technology. Because of this complaints are projected to lessen.
