Introduction
Celebrating 20 years of Advancing Project Management
T
his SPM 20th Anniversary magazine showcases
the key milestone achievements and highlights
of the Society of Project Managers events and
people from different times and perspectives. We
try to relive the memories of past events, like the
Annual Seminar/Conference, Technical Talk, Annual
Dinner, and capture the reflections and wisdom of
eminent persons from the industry, our past Society’s
Presidents and Honorary Fellows, as we look forward
to the future of the built environment industry with
promise and hope. The journey of the Society through
the years traces the transformation of its logo, the
evolution of our newsletter publication, our working
committees and the series of training courses to the
current development of the accreditation of project
managers scheme.
Since the formation of SPM in 1995 with only 55
members in its early days, the society continued to
attract new members as it gained recognition over
the years. Membership current stands at about 400,
with representation from the architectural, civil and
structural engineering, mechanical and electrical
engineering, and quantity surveying fraternity, and
developers and builders, among others.
SPM has been part of the Construction Industry
Joint Committee (CIJC) since the latter’s formation.
It represents the interest of project managers and
participate in CIJC’s collective effort in engaging with
the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) and
other statutory on matters concerning productivity,
safety and environment sustainability as well as
professional and business practices of the construction
disciplines, developers and builders.
Besides being well connected to the local built
environment sector, SPM has stretched its wings
internationally as well, through its active involvement
with the Global Alliance to Project Performance
Standards (GAPPS), Construction Project Management
Committee (CPMC) of China Construction Industry
Association and Asia Pacific Federation of Project
Management (apfpm). This international network
enables SPM to learn, develop and share modern,
innovative and effective practices.
As we reminisce and celebrate our past achievements
with our members and partners, we hope to build on
our 20 years of experience to reach for greater heights
for Project Management and for our members.

President’s MESSAGE
SPM will develop a PM accreditation scheme.
...We will continue to contribute to project management
and raise the level of recognition accorded to SPM.
Dr Ting Seng Kiong, President
Society of Project Managers
T
wenty years ago, SPM was established. Since
August 1995, we have come a long way from
then. SPM has helped to elevate the profile of
Project Managers through its active participation and
contributions to the construction industry as being
a member association of the Construction Industry
Joint Committee (CIJC). We are one of the founding
members of the Singapore Green Building Council
(SGBC) officially launched in October 2009.
The Society has been and will be actively conducting
talks and professional courses for members. Local
and international speakers provided us with a broad
spectrum of topics of interest to our practitioners.
We have expanded these lunch time talks to include
evening talks as well so that our members have
more options to fit these talks into their schedule.
The evening talks at UniSIM are to reach out not only
to members but also to students so as to promote
our profession. I hope all of you had been able to
attend the lunch time talks that we organized in the
past years.
We also run joint seminars with BCA Academy
focusing on different aspects of our construction
industry, e.g., productivity and green technology.
Together with these, we also organize tours of newly
completed infrastructure that show case the latest in
construction. Last year we went to the Sports Hub.
We are also hold book launches to promote our local
writers to our construction industry. These had been
very well attended.
We have successfully conducted ten runs of the
course on Project Management for Professionals
of the Building & Construction Industry with BCA
Academy as part of our educational and knowledge
enhancement focus.
Internationally, we signed an agreement in August
2002 on cooperation union of International
construction project management with five
other institutions, namely, Construction Project
Management Committee (CPMC) of the China
Construction Industry Association, International
Project Management Association (IPMA), The
Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), The
Chartered Institute of Building (Hong Kong) and The
Construction Management Association of Korea
(CMAK). We are still actively involved in this. For the
past few years, we sent a delegation annually to the
China International Construction Project Management
Summit organized by CPMC.
Since January 2003, we are a member of the Asia
Pacific Federation of Project Management (apfpm).
We attended the regular formal meetings of apfpm.
We participated in the inaugural Asia Pacific
conference in Beijing in November 2014.
On 10 April 2015, we signed an MOU with the HKIPM.
This allows our members reciprocal benefits with
HKIPM. Our members can attend their events and
functions at similar costs as their own members.
We are also the founding member of the Global
Alliance for Project Performance Standards (GAPPS)
which was launched on 25 February 2003. Over the
years we had been actively involved in promoting its
activities including hosting the GAPPS workshops
in Singapore in 2006 and 2012. We are also on the
GAPPS board.
For this coming year, we are going to focus strongly
on accreditation of project managers. SPM will
develop a PM accreditation scheme. So, lookout for
the launch.
SPM will continue to improve our international liaison
and connection with global project management
institutes and forums. Locally, we will work
closely with CIJC to voice out and be represented
for construction industry matters from the PM
perspectives with regards to safety and health,
productivity and sustainability through BIM and Green
Mark initiatives.
We will continue to contribute to project management
and raise the level of recognition accorded to SPM.

CONGRATULATORY MESSAGEs
Message from Dr John Keung, CEO
Building & Construction Authority
Continue to count
on SPM as one of the key
partners to collaborate on the productivity drive to achieve
greater productivity gains within the next few years.
T
he built environment sector has played a vital role in the transformation of our
modern city-state over the years. Raising construction productivity to achieve
economic growth will continue to be a key focal point for us. Under the second
Construction Productivity Roadmap, BCA will be pushing for the adopting of Design for
Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA). It will be pertinent for members of SPM to support
the productivity initiatives by upgrading knowledge and expertise in managing
projects that adopt DfMA.
In attracting Singaporeans to the built environment sector, the Society has
also been a valuable member of the Built Environment Industry Rebranding
Committee (BEIRC). Together with other members of the Construction Industry
Joint Committee (CIJC), we formulated the 5-year Built Environment Rebranding
Roadmap to engage and attract Singaporeans to join sector. SPM has been
supportive of the implementation process.
Last year, SPM signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) at the BCA Awards
Night, affirming its commitment towards transforming the built environment sector
into a workplace of choice. SPM also supported the implementation of the voluntary
pledge signing initiative, “Pledge for a Better Built Environment Workplace” for built
environment developers, architecture and engineering consultancies and builders to
commit to adopting good human resource practices.
Indeed, we will need the continued support of SPM to transform the built
environment sector – to achieve a quantum leap in productivity and to attract young
entrants. BCA will continue to count on SPM as one of the key partners to collaborate
on the productivity drive to achieve greater productivity gains within the next few
years.
On behalf of BCA, I would like to thank SPM for its continuous support for BCA’s
initiatives and valuable partnerships. As SPM celebrates its 20th anniversary in advancing
the profession of project managers this year, BCA certainly look forward to future
collaborations in the years to come. Happy anniversary and congratulations!

Project management…
is a discipline that is not readily apparent to the
public eye, yet remains a crucial and integral
part of the construction value chain.
P
roject management in the building and
construction industry is a momentous task: it
involves the careful planning, organising and
controlling of many forms of resources to complete
a building that is safe, healthy and productive for
work and play. It is a discipline that is not readily
apparent to the public eye, yet remains a crucial
and integral part of the construction value chain.
As a Founding Member of the Singapore Green
Building Council (SGBC), the Society of Project
Managers (SPM) has been a vital cornerstone of
the local green building movement, contributing
its technical expertise and experience to further
the green building cause. By maintaining a close
working relationship with SPM, we are able to
obtain a more grounded sense of the industry’s
pulse, and from there develop more targeted
activities that better address industry needs.
The SPM is also doing a good job at building
project management capability for the industry.
Through the regularly-held Project Management
for Professionals in the Building and Construction
Industry courses, industry professionals are better
prepared to take on the role of project managers,
especially with the expanded plethora of resources
involved due to the increasing onus on building
green.
On behalf of my colleagues at SGBC, I would like
to congratulate the SPM on their 20th Anniversary
in advancing the development of project
management in Singapore. I am confident that
SPM will continue to improve standards of project
management in the industry and contribute to a
greener built environment.

Formation & Growth of SPM
I
n 1995, founding President, Mr Chow Kok Fong, together with his close friends and contemporaries
in the construction industry, namely, who consisted of a group of prominent industry leaders, formed
the Society of Project Managers (SPM). The objective then was to create a platform for like-minded
professionals to come together to share experiences, as well as to enhance the professional image of
project managers. The society had a humble beginning and was housed under Mr Chow’s Office. It
later expanded to include a secretariat service in 2001. To increase its reach, the society formed its own
website in 2001, with an upgrade done in 2013.
The Society also recognizes the importance of international linkages amongst the project management
fraternity. It started its first MOU with apfpm in 2003. To-date, it has signed a total of 5 MOUs.
The Society continued to grow from strength to strength and in 2011, was able to adopt the Children
Cancer Society as part of its corporate social responsibility. To date, SPM has contributed about
$300,0000 to better the lives of cancer patients and their families.

past presidents' MESSAGEs
W
e seldom talk about project management
outside events in the construction industry.
Yet one of the startling truths is that project
success tends to be the exception rather than the rule.
In 2014, PwC published the results of a study of 33
projects undertaken by listed companies in the United
States. The study found that in terms of delivery within
the time, cost and quality targets set at the start of
the project – i.e. before design commences – only 3
projects succeeded. Two years earlier, Engineering
News Record released the results of a larger study by
the U.S. Construction Industry Institute (CII) on some
975 light and heavy industrial projects. The CII found
that only 5.4% of these projects succeeded in terms
of time, cost and quality targets.
What is the comparable record in Singapore? No
study has yet been done. However, these studies in
the U.S. confirm something that experienced project
managers – those who have actually managed a
project – understood for a long time. It is hard to
deliver a project on time, within budget and fit for the
purpose for which it was planned. The few of us who
gathered to form this Society in 1995 did not at that
time have surveys to attest to our sense of the state of
project delivery capability in Singapore. Nevertheless,
we witnessed many project situations where the skill
is not directed at better engineering or design but at
justifying why targets slipped. If you want spectacular
examples, look no further than Brazil 2014 and the
Berlin Airport.
In forming the Society, we saw the challenge in these
terms. The skill and science of project management
deserve to be taken seriously. We cannot expect
the expertise to simply grow on a person through
experience. We need to specify the minimum
expertise required of project
managers and use this to
prepare future generations of
project managers. The delivery
of this agenda will be a long
and arduous task. It remains
the core of our mission.
Chow Kok Fong
Founding President (1995-1999)
Uphold their professional standards
by actively engaging in lifelong education and upgrading of skills and knowledge, in
order to keep abreast of the latest professional practices.
Khor Poh Hwa
Past President (1999-2003)
I
am delighted to participate in
the celebrations to mark the
20th anniversary of SPM and
would like to extend my heartiest
congratulations to all of its
members. As a founding member
and the second president of SPM,
I have witnessed firsthand the
evolution of the society, from its
infancy to its establishment as an
organization of outstanding repute
in the construction industry, and
am proud of it.
In the second half of the 90s, huge
investments were being made in
infrastructure projects in many
Asian countries. One of the initial
aims of SPM was to find ways in
14
which its project managers could
tap into these opportunities for
rendering project management
services beyond Singapore’s
shorelines. Within 4-5 years of
its inception, SPM had initiated
networking with counterpart
organizations in countries including
Australia, China, and India, thus
facilitating access for its project
managers to participate in both
World Bank as well as private
sector infrastructure projects
in these countries. SPM is now
an internationally-recognized
professional organization, and its
members enjoy high regard all over
the world.
I urge our project managers
to continue to uphold their
professional standards by actively
engaging in lifelong education and
upgrading of skills and knowledge,
in order to keep abreast of the
latest professional practices. This
is to ensure that they will continue
to be relevant and credible in the
industry with respect to their skills,
quality of service, and professional
integrity in managing projects.
On this note, I wish SPM and all its
project managers every success,
and look forward to many more
good years to come.

T
he entrance qualifications for
membership of the Singapore
Society of Project Managers has
been set at a higher level deliberately
by the Founding Group of sponsor –
members led by Founding President,
Mr. Chow Kok Fong in 1995. The inaugural Society of
Project Managers was registered with 55 members in
June 1995 in Singapore. These members were mainly
of practicing professionals in the Building Construction
Industry with more than 20 years’ experience. Their
duties and responsibilities include planning, development
and construction and supervision of infrastructures and
development building projects. Membership grew slowly
but steadily. Our membership stands at about 400 today.
Over the last twenty years our members have directed
and delivered many successful mega projects to the
satisfaction of their clients.
These projects include Khoo Teck Puat Hospital,
Singapore Sports Hub, ION Orchard, CapitaGreen,
Gardens by the Bay, ITE Central, Deep Tunnel Sewerage
System and others.
We maintained close collaboration with our MOU
partners to exchange knowledge and experiences to
learn from each other to deliver consistently quality
projects to our Clients. Our MOU partners include
HKIPM, apfpm, GAPPS and CPMC.
With the impending opportunities coming from China's
One Belt One Road initiative, it is timely for SPM to
pursue accreditation of professional project managers
in recognition of PMs so that our members can reach
outward to grow our business overseas.
Congratulations to SPM on its 20th Anniversary!
Unchanged is change
"we must upgrade and be well equipped to assimilate the ever changing
landscape of project management.”
Seah Choo Meng
Imm. Past President (2007-2013)
P
roject management has
evolved over the years from
a somewhat humdrum and
unassuming task performed by inhouse staff of the various public
agencies to become a major
factor in the implementation of
construction projects. As a result of
the corporatisation and privatisation
of many government agencies,
this task assumed a newfound
prominence and had since been
outsourced to project management
service providers from the industry.
These service providers are usually
professionals who are well versed
in construction know-how and
project management and come from
the various disciplines including
architects, engineers, quantity
surveyors and building specialists.
Owners now place immense
emphasis in the selection
and appointment of a project
management consultant. Project
management had hitherto been
a conventional practice with the
project manager assuming the
role of a lead consultant. This has
worked well in the past with projects
that are relatively small and up to
$100 m in value. However projects
have expanded in size in recent
years and contract values of a few
hundred millions and more are
standard fare. For major integrated
developments, values range
from $200 m to $2 billion. Such
ginormous values are inevitable
given the necessity to maximise the
scarcity of land in Singapore and
the resultant need to build mega
projects with multiple usages.
Project managers must therefore
enhance their expertise and
broaden their scope of service. One
area that merits attention is Planning
and Construction Management
(PCM) and projects managers are
exhorted to learn more about it.
PCM covers a multitude of topics
that are critical to the successful
implementation of projects. It
embodies project management and
is therefore of great relevance to
project managers. Lamentably, the
industry is plagued with problems
arising from inadequate attention
to details, incorrect design and
planning and a woeful lack of risk
management consideration. This
has predictably resulted in claims,
delays and legal disputes.
Therefore, skills must be upgraded
to enable project managers to
support and value-add to the interdesign functions between clients
and consultants and intra-work
between the various consultants.
Project managers will have no
alternative but to move towards
providing micro-planning and
detailing advice.
We must ameliorate our skillset to
remove the perception of a project
management being a no-brainer
profession with only a post-box
function. We must upgrade and
be well equipped to assimilate the
ever changing landscape of project
management.
Change is ever-imminent and
relentless in this capricious world
we live in and if we stagnate and
do not transcend the vagaries of
change, then inevitably “change will
change us”.
Do remember that the only thing
that remains unchanged is change.
We need to embrace changes and
prepare for the future.

roject managers are the final value chain of professionals who could essentially
either make or break the success of a project. I am glad that we have formalised
the representation of these key professionals through the Society of Project
Managers (SPM) twenty years ago.
I gladly extend my warmest congratulations to the Society of Project Managers in
celebration of its 20th Anniversary.

roject Managers are the unsung heroes in the Modern Cities we build. Every
project that is to be executed on Time, on Budget and to Specifications has
to be due to the competence, planning, hard work, determination of Project
Managers and their teams of engineers, planners, technicians, constructors,
commissioning specialists, etc. We must thank them all!
My heartiest congratulations to SPM on your 20th Anniversary and for the splendid
work you have been doing for the Project Manager fraternity. I wish you even greater
success in raising the professional practice standard and capabilities of project
managers for the built environment industry in the years to come.

Anniversary Magazine
Honorary fellows' MESSAGEs
Message from Kwek Leng Joo, President
City Developments Ltd
F
rom its
humble
beginnings,
Singapore
has literally leaped from swamp
to skyscrapers. As we celebrate
our nation’s Jubilee year, we
take pride that Singapore is one
of the cleanest and greenest
cities in the world, and a top
global transportation hub with
a renowned airport and one of
the world’s busiest seaports. Its
infrastructure is among the best in
the world and Singaporeans have
a comfortable place to live, work
and relax.
Just how did our tiny country move
from swamp to a modern global
city? Without doubt, outstanding
project management is one of
the key factors that contributed
significantly to our nation-building.
Strong project management
capabilities were instrumental for
the many successful developments
and improvements that took
Singapore from third world to first.
Besides their expertise in design
and construction, our project
managers were committed to meet
clients’ stretched imagination and
various requirements on time.
Their high standards of ethics and
professionalism helped to build a
reputation for integrity, quality and
reliability.
However, as Singapore continues
to develop, the demands on the
profession have also dramatically
increased. With rapid urbanisation,
technological advancement
and population growth, today’s
projects are becoming more
complex, cross-disciplined and
cross-functional. In the early
days, for instance, we did not
have the Mass Rapid Transit
(MRT) system. But we have since
moved on to develop mega
projects such as integrated
developments that are linked to
MRT stations. Such developments
have residential, commercial
and hospitality components
under one roof. So we are not
talking about just developing a
standalone condominium, office
tower or hotel. Project managers
will thus increasingly need to be
empowered with multidisciplinary
skills to handle the complex largescale projects to come.
With finite resources, project
managers are also challenged
to achieve the same, if not,
higher quality with less. This
means they need to continuously
explore and adopt innovative
approaches to enhance
productivity. Is there a better,
faster and sustainable way of
doing things? City Developments
Limited’s (CDL) projects team,
for example, is pioneering an
advanced construction method
called Prefinished Prefabricated
Volumetric Construction (PPVC) for
our new The Brownstone Executive
Condominium. This is the first
time in Asia that PPVC is used for
a large-scale residential project
and likely the world’s largest
application. Some 5,000 building
modules will be prefabricated in
a controlled factory environment
and then assembled onsite. This
will increase productivity by over
40%, saving 55,000 man days.
Moreover, through the process,
we are also helping to build
capabilities in the use of game
changing technologies.
As climate change worsens and
calls for more sustainable practices
intensify, project managers have
to more proactively minimise
the carbon footprint throughout
the entire supply chain. In fact,
the Singapore government has
pledged to lower our nation’s
carbon emissions by 16% below
business-as-usual levels by
2020. A good project manager
of the future will be one who
is creative and bold enough to
push the boundaries to strike a
balance between business and the
environment. In CDL, our projects
teams are committed to reduce our
carbon intensity emissions by 22%
in 2020 from baseline year 2007,
and to achieve a 25% reduction by
2030.
With Singapore’s vision to be a
clean, green, sustainable and smart
nation, emphasis on sustainability
will only increase. To excel, project
managers must embrace greater
environmental stewardship in every
aspect of their work, especially
in the management of the supply
chain. From CDL’s experience, it is
possible to do well financially and
to do good for the environment. In
view of increased environmental
regulations that lie ahead, the
earlier project managers embrace
this eco-mindset
the better.
Moving forward, I am confident
that the Society of Project
Managers will build upon the
strong foundation laid by the
pioneers and continue to help
members remain plugged-in to
the latest developments and
best practices. This will enable
the profession to keep tab on
the cutting edge of project
management to build Singapore’s
next phase of growth.

Honorary fellows' MESSAGEs
Message from Prof Cheong Hee Kiat, President
SIM University
Congratulations to SPM on its 20th Anniversary.
L
ooking back, the SPM, like project management itself as a specialist skill in Singapore, has come a long
way from humble beginnings. SPM has been a dynamic driving force actively promoting and advancing
the development of the project management profession here and abroad, and elevating the profile
of project managers (PMs). Today’s built environment in Singapore is a great attestation of good project
management, amongst other things. Completed projects, in all their grandeur and usefulness, belie the good
work of planning, coordination and execution that is part and parcel of the PM’s remit. So, in congratulating the
SPM, we are also celebrating the labour and contributions of project managers.
With the increasing size and complexity of projects, regulations and user demands, the role of the PM is even
more crucial. The PM’s perspective is a multi-dimensional, multi-disciplinary one, a juggler’s view, sometimes.
Not just anyone knowledgeable about the construction industry can be an effective PM – the skill comes
through years of managing one project after another, making one mistake after another but learning all the
time, and learning to break silos, manage people, and their expectations, more than schedules, costs and
constraints.
As SPM looks ahead, what should it focus on? Several suggestions: firstly, education and training to ensure
a continued supply of proficient PMs in the future. This can be done through formal applied programmes
at our education institutions and continuing professional education during work, in close collaboration with
companies. We must challenge the professionals to re-produce themselves through helping out in the training.
SPM can champion this effort for PMs.
Secondly, SPM could work towards professional accreditation of PMs – this can bring about quality lift and
raise the stature of the PM. The industry can also benefit from the continuing professional development that
should be required of registered practitioners.
Thirdly, get more to understand the critical role of the PM, not just in the construction industry but in other
areas. I have proposed that every tertiary student should get taught about project management, get some ‘PM
thinking’, so to speak – every project big or small can be better coordinated and executed.
I hope that the SPM will relentlessly make the effort to lift the standards and professionalism of PMs, enjoy
the support of many more professionals and organisations, and make a greater impact on Singapore’s future
development.
I wish SPM continued success. To the next 20 years!

BCA-SPM Seminar Series
In collaboration with BCA, the Society of Project
Managers has celebrated the gathering of notable
project managers and distinguished professionals
from government, private, and international groups
to speak about their triumphs, challenges, and words
of wisdom at the BCA SPM Annual Seminar Series.
Taking place every two years, a whole day is reserved
for open discourse to the Public.
From “Managing Complexity in Projects” in 2010, to
“Project and Program Management in the Space of
Complexity and Uncertainty,” in 2012 to “Productivity
in Project Delivery” in 2014, a selection of prominent
topics and iconic buildings have been analysed and
presented in case study format.
The “Complexity in Projects” programme of 2010
included Khoo Teck Puat Hospital , Pinnacle@
Duxton, Ion Orchard and the Kallang-Paya Lebar
Expressway. Each of these large scale initiatives
dealt with complexity worthy of note: the staggering
list of disciplines needed for a hospital linking with
multiple stakeholder groups; the fabrication, delivery,
storage, and installation of a pre-cast façade under
a compressed timeline for the Singapore’s tallest
36
residential tower, the daunting challenge of installing
Singapore’s largest shopping centre on top of Orchard
MRT during full operation, and building a 3-km canal
for an expressway without flooding neighbours.
2012’s BCA SPM Seminar focussed on the large scale
massive shifts in culture, economics, and projects
showing many leading firms extending their reach
to provide expertise in new territories. A result of
the 2008 world financial crisis was the shift of global
economic growth away from the US and Japan to
other Asian countries. This shift of focus created
ripples in the distribution of human and intellectual
capital, especially in construction expertise.
“Productivity in Project Delivery” from 2014 focused
on how management strategy has changed upstream
productivity. Technological advances have made
improvement in the downstream, or construction
phase, yet upstream, or design management is seldom
highlighted. Topics include discussion of holistic
project development, raising the bar of quality and
standards, and avoiding disputes. A visit to the Sports
Hub was also conducted as part of the Seminar.

It all started as there was a need for an ideal Project Management course structured for the
construction professionals. Thus, SPM decided to collaborate with Building Construction Authority
Academy (BCAA) to formulate this course to cater to the industry.
With SPM providing the industry practice and expertise and BCAA administering the academic
structure and endorsing its quality for the construction industry, we started to brain storm for the
38
SPM
Anniversary Magazine
journey through
through the
the years
outline of the course in late 2007. It took more than a year to come up
with the course outline that would cater to the current construction
market and to select and confirm the trainers who are leaders from both
the academia as well as within our construction industry.
Thus this course covers not only topics on Time, Cost and Quality, but
also others like:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Sustainable Construction
Value Management/Engineering
Case studies of local and foreign projects
Managing Consultancy Services & Consultants’ Contribution
Risk Management, Safety & Environmental Management
Contracts Management
Because the course is certified, participants are required to take an
assessment comprising of multiple-choice questions. All participants
are also required to form project teams to submit a write-up and make a
presentation on selected topics related to project management. This is
to groom the participants in leadership, team work as well as
presentation skills.
SPM

industry practice and
expertise and BCAA

and endorsing
its quality for the

What a successful and exciting journey for the BCAA-SPM Project
Management Course! Looking forward, both BCAA and SPM would
continue to make refinements to this course, ensuring that the course
continue to be relevant to the fast evolving construction sector.

Outstanding Project Manager Awards
The Outstanding Project Manager Award, conferred
every two years since 2001, aims to highlight
the multi-faceted leadership role of a Project
Manager in project delivery. Apart from meeting the
many project objectives of the client, the Project
Manager has to be knowledgeable in design and
construction matters and uphold a high standard of
professionalism to earn the respect of all parties in
a project.
A proficient Project Manager is a valuable asset to
the organization and the construction industry, and
should be encouraged with due recognition for the
contribution towards realising our built environment.
Through this award, the Society hopes to inspire the
growing pool of Project Managers in Singapore to
raise their level of professional practice and provide
even better service in their work
