# Event Details - **Event Name**: RICS Singapore Commercial Management of Construction Seminar - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 14 Oct, 2026 at 09:00 am – Wed, 14 Oct, 2026 at 06:00 pm (+08:00) - **Event Description**: Building Success: Commercial Excellence in a Disruptive MarketAbout this EventSingapore's construction sector is navigating a period of unprecedented disruption. Volatile material costs, fractured supply chains, geopolitical uncertainty and the rapid rise of AI are reshaping how projects are financed, procured, delivered and — when things go wrong — disputed. Against this backdrop, commercial professionals are being asked to do more with less: manage greater risk, protect tighter margins, and deliver increasingly complex mega projects with confidence. Building Success: Commercial Excellence in a Disruptive Market is a full-day seminar dedicated to the commercial skills and strategies that make the difference.The programme spans the complete commercial lifecycle. The morning opens with a construction market outlook and an employer's perspective on master planning and development, before examining supply chain resilience, new developments in procurement and contract management, and the complexities of commercial management in mega projects — from cashflow and risk to stakeholders and contracts. The afternoon turns to collaborative contracting in practice, including NEC4 and Early Contractor Involvement, the responsible use of AI in commercial management, the role of the expert in dispute resolution, delay analysis techniques, and the common causes of construction contract nightmares. Offering 6 CPD hours and closing with an extended networking session, the seminar is designed for quantity surveyors, commercial managers, contractors, developers, consultants and construction lawyers seeking practical strategies to build commercial excellence in a disruptive market.Programme:8:30-9.00- Registration9.00 -9.10 - Welcome address by RICS9.10-9.25Topic: Construction Market OutlookSpeaker: Jasper Wong, MD, Head of Construction & Infrastructure, Sector Solutions Group, UOB9.25 -9.40Topic: Supply chain financing and collaborative contracting as backbone of business resiliencySpeaker: Yew Boon Cheat, VP of Master Planning and Development, Changi Airport.9:40-10.30Topic: Supply Chain Resilience: Addressing material shortages, logistics disruption, and localisation strategies.(Panel Discussion)Panelists:-Jasper Wong, MD, Head of Construction & Infrastructure, Sector Solutions Group, UOB-Yew Boon Cheat, VP of Master Planning and Development, Changi Airport.10.30-11.00 - Tea Break11.00 -11.50Topic: Complexities of Commercial Management in Mega Projects.
