Details	:	1st Title: UPDATES OF SOP REGIME IN SINGAPORE - CHANGES AND CHALLENGES Presented by: Goh Ngan Hong SYNOPSIS The Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act (“SOP Act”) came into operation in Singapore in 2004. It seeks to improve cash flow in the construction industry to allow parties to seek progress payment for work done and to provide fast and low-cost adjudication to resolve payment disputes. Since then, there have been amendments, which are intended to address shortcomings and ambiguities in the SOP Act that became evident in cases before the Courts and adjudicators. The speaker will review the development of the framework of the SOP Act and make reference to recent case law developments. He will also share practical experience on how Section 17 of the SOP Act has been considered with respect to claimants’ claims and respondents’ cross-claims and other practical issues arising from the SOP Act. The Speaker will also look at the challenges ahead and moving forward as an industry to manage SOP matters. 2nd Title: Role of Young Professionals in Built Environment Industry Transformation Map (BE ITM) Speaker: Jacqueline Huan and Vincent Leong SYNOPSIS The Construction Industry Transformation Map (ITM) was previously launched in 2017 with the aim of developing the Built Environment (BE) sector into an Advanced and Integrated Sector through adoption of new game-changing technologies. The Construction ITM together with the Real Estate (Facilities Management) ITM have been integrated into one Built Environment ITM (BE ITM) launch in September 2022. This refreshed ITM has further enhanced the previous three focus areas as follows: 1. Integrated Planning and Design (IPD) (to build from the existing efforts for Integrated Digital Delivery (IDD)) 2. Advanced Manufacturing and Assembly (AMA) (to build from the existing efforts for Design for Manufacturing Assembly (DfMA)) 3. Sustainable Urban System (SUS) (to build from the existing efforts for Green Building) The transformation journey with the refreshed ITM is continuing shaping the Singapore BE sector. This has also helped shape the mindset of the young professionals and increase their involvement in the journey of new construction technology, digitalisation and sustainability. 3rd Title: The QS Generations Project - Retaining Our Young Talents Speaker: Stanley Chang and Wong Yi Min SYNOPSIS From the Silent Generation to Gen Z (or even Gen Covid). From the Snail Mail era to the Instant Text Messages age. From the taking off paper to the BIM Modeling application. The Generations of Quantity Surveyors (QS) have evolved enormously following the global trends, and similarly goes to the perspective, perceptions and expectation towards our industry. While we strive to retain the young talents to join us, we must first understand them and address or even respond to their excitements, as well as their concerns and fearfulness in joining us. Have we too ignorance to their needs? Or we are not able to accommodate their requests? Or our young talents are just asking for too much (overdemand)? Do they deserve it? Or not? The topic was not to serve any “justice” for the above, but to create a platform for understanding and to bridge the gap among our QS generations via constant communications. We must be prepared to facilitate our young talents to excel and elevate to the next successful generations in this industry, notwithstanding the continual transformation from the entire construction industry including the stakeholders’ critical development and demands. We must begin to initiate the healthy change. It’s just now or never!
