Construction Cost Review July 2026

On 25 May 2026, the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) announced that Singapore’s economy grew by 6.0% in the first quarter of 2026. Singapore’s GDP growth forecast for 2026 has been maintained at “2.0% to 4.0%”. As the Singapore construction market continues to operate with strong demand, ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have caused uncertainty in global energy and supply markets, contributing to potential cost pressures on fuel, transportation and construction materials. Taking these factors into account, the overall construction costs in Singapore are expected to increase by approximately 3% to 8% for the year 2026.

ESG Isn’t a Statement. It’s How We Rethink, Adapt and Operate.

At Asia Infrastructure Solutions (AIS), ESG isn’t treated as an overlay. It is embedded in how projects are scoped, procured and delivered, as an operational discipline rather than an intention. Ternasser Chwee shares how consistent, day-to-day decisions, not statements, drive more resilient and future-ready outcomes.

Learning Culture: How We Grow Young Professionals Through Real Project Exposure

At Asia Infrastructure Solutions, we believe that mentorship, project exposure, and progressive responsibility are key to developing young professionals. In this article, Ir. Ts. Azam Syariff Zahar reflects on the role of mentorship in shaping long-term professional growth, alongside testimonials from our young professionals who share how real project exposure and continuous guidance have supported their development to date.

Infrastructure Resilience – Purpose-Led Consulting in Flood Mitigation and Risk Planning

Sungai Lembing’s recurring flash floods prompted the Sungai Lembing Town Flood Mitigation Project, with AIS appointed as the Lead Consulting Engineer. In this article, Ir. Ts. Azam Syariff Zahar highlights the key engineering considerations behind the ongoing Sungai Lembing Town Flood Mitigation Project, and why effective flood resilience must be grounded in hydrology and terrain while being implemented safely, responsibly and with long term community needs in mind.

Why People & Purpose Matter in Long-Term Infrastructure

Long-term infrastructure is not delivered by systems or processes alone. It is delivered by people, guided by purpose and shaped by culture. Across Asia-Pacific, infrastructure programmes increasingly span decades. They involve multiple stakeholders, evolving public needs, and growing complexity around cost, risk, sustainability, and governance. In this environment, technical competence is essential — but it is not sufficient.

Building Smarter: Harnessing Digital Twins for Seamless Site Operations

Our Architecture and Landscape team has embarked on an exciting journey by embracing a new suite of powerful tools enabled by artificial intelligence. Rather than replacing the creative spark that defines our work, these tools augment our creativity. This case study explores how we are leveraging AI to supercharge and optimise our design processes, foster innovation, and deliver better and faster results for our clients.

Fatigue behavior of CFRP-strengthened butt-welded high-strength steel connections with surface cracks

This article investigates how CFRP strengthening improves the fatigue performance of butt-welded high-strength steel plates (Q960, Q890, HG785) with surface cracks. Using experimental tests and finite element modelling, it shows that CFRP can significantly extend fatigue life, with effectiveness influenced by adhesive damage, initial crack size, and plate thickness. A fatigue life prediction model using Paris Law is also proposed.

Implications of Extreme Temperatures Due to Climate Change for Bridge Design

As bridges are susceptible to extreme temperatures, a study has been carried out on the temperature effects on highway structures due to climate change, eventually leading to some revisions to the Structures Design Manual for Highways and Railways in December 2023 (Highways Department, 2023). This article highlights some implications of extreme temperatures due to climate change for bridge design.
