Ongoing Projects
ASD | DigitalBuild
DigitalBuild Pte Ltd offers Design Automation solutions that use BIM, Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) tools and other software tools to improve and optimise construction work processes.
Project Title:
Unit Layout Plan Optimisation for Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC) Projects
Challenge Statement Owner:
Scope of the Project:
DigitalBuild is developing a design simulation tool to rapidly explore permutations of a unit plan layout for PPVC projects, so that designer and builders can optimise their Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) designs and assess if they comply with the building’s design parameters. The tool optimises the unit layout plan and as a result, reduces the number of moulds required for fabrication.
ASD | T-Bot Technologies
T-Bot Technologies Pte Ltd provides hardware and software solutions that create workflows that cater to the needs of their customers.
Project Title:
3D-Printed Bespoke Building Components
Challenge Statement Owner:
Scope of the Project:
T-Bot is developing an end-to-end workflow that allows physical objects with complex one-of-a-kind designs to be produced using 3D printing methods. It uses computational design to generate optimal printing pathways, yielding the strongest structures with the least amount of materials needed. It allows builders such as Tiong Seng to customise the printing of complicated building components.
ASD | Argyle

Project Title:
Layout Information Gathering for As-built Services in the Ceiling Space
Challenge Statement Owner:
Scope of the Project:
Argyle is developing an as-built ceiling space survey kit by integrating three technologies – LIDAR* scanning, hexapod** robotics, and remote first-person view piloting systems.
The survey kit allows contractors such as Penta-Ocean Construction to carry out 3D scans and inspections of ceiling spaces and the as-built mechanical & electrical (M&E) services within. This innovation helps to minimise the safety risks for workers, avoid disruption to property owners’ operations and make ceiling surveys less time-consuming.
* Light detection and ranging: A method of determining ranges by targeting an object with a laser and measuring the time for the reflected light to return to the receiver.
** A mechanical vehicle that walks on six legs.

Project Title:
Drone Photogrammetry for Site Monitoring
Challenge Statement Owner:
Scope of the Project:
OPERVA AI is developing an advanced drone photogrammetry* application that automatically plans out drone flight operations by checking the weather, plotting out the flight path, and computing the camera shots required to complete the photogrammetry.
*The technology of obtaining reliable information about physical objects and the environment through recording, measuring and interpreting photographic images, patterns of electromagnetic imagery, among others.
ASD | LightHaus Photonics
LightHaus Photonics Pte Ltd focuses on two key advanced optronics concepts that significantly reduce the cost of laser vibrometry and hyperspectral imaging for many cost-sensitive industries. The company also has wide technical expertise to provide customised solutions to optics-related applications..

Project Title:
Close-up Inspection of Building Facades
Challenge Statement Owner:
Scope of the Project:
LightHaus is developing an inspection device that uses multispectral Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) imaging* based on InGaAs** sensor technology to detect dampness in concrete. The device measures the unique spectral information*** of every scanned object and detects water moisture based on its absorption in the 1000nm to 1600nm wavelength range.
* Used for producing images based on radiation in the region of the infra-red electromagnetic spectrum invisibe to the naked eye.
** A high-speed, highly sensitive detector of electromagnetic radiation.
*** Chemical composition.

Project Title:
Progress Monitoring for Cabinet Installation
Challenge Statement Owner:
Scope of the Project:
Developing a no-code development platform* that customises the installation of cabinets for King Hup Construction. The platform captures data without errors and allows King Hup Construction to share the installation progress in real-time with the project team, such as quantity surveyor and management.
*Allows programmers and non-programmers to create application software through graphical user interfaces and configuration instead of traditional computer programming.

Project Title:
Drone Photogrammetry for Site Monitoring
Challenge Statement Owner:
Scope of the Project:
OPERVA AI is developing a single visual and collaborative software platform for construction professionals which connects to various software solutions. The platform unifies information across these different software solutions, thus eliminating the need to collate information. It enables Penta-Ocean Construction to fulfil all their document management, site management, safety management and project management needs using one platform.
ASD | VRcollab
VRcollab Pte Ltd is a Singapore-based developer of a multi-user virtual reality tool that fosters collaboration, design co-ordination for architecture, engineering and construction. The tool converts building information models for use in virtual reality by concentrating on the design at hand, enabling architects, engineers and builders to walk in their buildings before they are built.

Project Title:
Augmented Reality Visualisation for Precast Element Installation and Inspection
Challenge Statement Owner:
Scope of the Project:
VRcollab is developing a BIM-to-AR (augmented reality) solution that allows RCC-Greatearth JV’s project team to visualise installation and inspection of the structural elements of a project using the structural BIM data using prefabrication. This solution will be integrated with the RCC-Greatearth JV’s existing Integrated Digital Delivery platform so that workers can readily access the BIM metadata onsite.

Project Title:
Automated Addition and Alternation Work Plans Submission
Challenge Statement Owner:
Scope of the Project:
VRcollab is developing a solution that applies artificial intelligence, i.e. machine learning and optical character recognition technology*, to databases of legacy 2D building plans. This would help HDB easily manage and organise their drawings and documents with search indexing.
*Automates data extraction from printed or written text from a scanned document or image file and then converting the text into a machine-readable form.
