A productive afternoon at the Building and Construction Standards Committee (BCSC) Strategic Planning Session 2026, held on 23 January at Amara Singapore.

Organised under the Singapore Standards Council, supported by Enterprise Singapore, and facilitated by IES-Standards Development Organisation (IES-SDO), the session brought together 50 BCSC members and stakeholders to take a step back and look ahead 🔍, identifying gaps, emerging needs, and priority areas for standardisation across digitalisation & artificial intelligence (AI), sustainability, and internationalisation.

We were privileged to hear valuable perspectives from our speakers on future-ready standards, green building developments, and the responsible deployment of AI in the built environment. These insights helped ground our breakout discussions, where participants worked through ideas using an impact–feasibility lens to shape potential new work items for the coming years.

The outcomes from this session will support BCSC and Singapore Standards Council’s broader efforts to ensure our standards remain relevant, forward-looking, and responsive to industry needs.

Thank you to our Chair, Deputy Chair, speakers, facilitators, and all members for the thoughtful discussions and strong engagement.
