On CNA News, Assoc Prof Daniel Wong said adopting new construction methodologies allows the sector to achieve uncommon levels of productivity gains while upskilling the workforce.
New construction technologies trialled for the first time by the Housing and Development Board could mean shorter waiting times for homeowners. One expert says their adoption can help with upskilling manpower, while reducing the sector's reliance on labour.
