The upcoming International Built Environment Week (IBEW) will take place from 3 to 5 September 2025 at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, bringing together the built environment community across Asia Pacific. This year’s event offers a dynamic platform to explore how digital transformation is reshaping construction practices and driving innovation across the industry.
IBEW Expert Series
At the heart of IBEW 2025 is the Expert Series, designed to empower built environment professionals across the region with cutting-edge insights and practical strategies. Featuring sessions on digitalisation, construction and sustainability, the conference is set to spark conversations that transcend traditional industry boundaries. Key sessions include:
Session 1.3: Elements of Successful Digital Construction and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)
Discover how digital transformation fuels success in construction. This session covers the integration of BIM, cloud collaboration and data analytics with lean principles to enhance team collaboration and project transparency. Delegates can gain actionable insights to optimise their project delivery using IPD.
Session 1.11: Best Practices in BIM for Prefab MEP Integration
Explore how to seamlessly integrate MEP systems into BIM workflows for prefabrication. Learn strategies for early MEP design involvement, clash detection and aligning BIM plans with fabrication needs to streamline production and cut on-site installation time.
Session 2.2: Sharing on Mandatory Energy Improvement (MEI) Regime
The new MEI regime is designed to reduce energy consumption in existing energy-intensive buildings. In this session, delegates will discover how the regime requires building owners to perform energy audits and implement efficiency improvement measures. These initiatives not only promise long-term cost savings but also support Singapore’s transition to a low-carbon built environment, contributing to the nation’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
Session 2.3: Exploring Novel Materials for a Carbon-Friendly Built Environment
Learn about breakthrough material technologies that reduce embodied carbon in construction. This session features three focused presentations, including innovations in low-carbon concrete, which highlight advances in mixed designs, performance metrics, lifecycle assessments and the challenges of implementation.
Throughout the Expert Series, delegates can immerse themselves in best practices, leverage detailed project case studies from across the Asia Pacific region, and earn valuable CPD points – all essential for professionals committed to driving innovation, enhancing project delivery and promoting sustainability in Singapore’s built environment.
