Lendlease will set up a $29m (S$40m) digital construction development centre in Singapore, with help from the state’s Economic Development Board (EDB), to accelerate digital construction adoption.
Due to open by October, the centre will employ 50 people in the first year, with expansion planned in subsequent years.
Lendlease said it is trying to create a “scalable supply chain and integrated logistics software platform for property development and construction projects”.
Tony Lombardo, Lendlease chief executive in Asia, said: “We are very excited to have the support of EDB to propel the built environment sector’s transition to the digital economy and position Singapore as a global innovation hub that leads the market in automating the creation of tomorrow’s smart buildings.”
