Formulate the branch's 3-5-year strategic development plan, focusing on core directions such as infrastructure bidding, green project expansion, and partner resource integration.
- Collaborate with the technical department of the Chinese headquarters to integrate mature domestic construction technologies (e.g., prefabricated construction, Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology) with local demands in Singapore, form a differentiated competitive strategy, and enhance the branch's bidding competitiveness in high-end residential and commercial complex projects.
2. Project Opportunity Analysis and Risk Management

- Establish a strategic implementation tracking mechanism. Regularly review the gap between the branch's project progress (e.g., construction cycle, cost control) and strategic goals, and put forward optimization suggestions (e.g., adjusting the supply chain, optimizing construction processes) for issues such as project delays and cost overruns.
3. Data-Driven Decision Support
- Build a data monitoring system for the Singapore construction industry. Integrate data such as market scale, bidding success rate, building material price fluctuations, and policy changes.
