China Construction South Pacific Development Co Pte Ltd (CCDC) recently hosted the Conference for Sustainable Development in the Construction Industry in Singapore, marking a significant step in its commitment to sustainable practices. The event, held on 16 July, gathered over 100 participants, including government officials and corporate executives, to discuss green and low-carbon transformation in construction.
CCDC has been a leader in sustainable development in Singapore since 1992, employing technologies such as Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC) and Building Information Modelling (BIM). The company’s DfMA Centre, equipped with photovoltaic panels, contributes to an annual carbon emission reduction of 800 tonnes. CCDC’s efforts are in line with the Singapore Green Plan 2030, aiming for a sustainable future.
With the highest A1 qualification and a Green and Gracious Builder Scheme Star qualification, CCDC has completed 196 projects, with 41 more underway. These projects span residential, educational, commercial, and healthcare sectors, among others. Notably, one in every 20 homes in Singapore is built by CCDC.
At the conference, CCDC released its report, “Innovation Journey in Embracing Sustainable Construction,” highlighting its three decades of green building practices. Chairman Qian Liangzhong stressed the need for policy support, technological innovation, and collaboration in achieving green transformation. This aligns with National Development Minister Chee Hong Tat’s recent announcement of the Built Environment Decarbonisation Technology Roadmap, which identifies over 50 technologies to reduce carbon emissions in buildings.
