While single-family home construction increased at a modest rate of 0.6%, the reason for the stagnant spending in the country was due to a decrease of project spending in commercial real estate and certain other areas. The construction of office towers, apartments, power plants and other construction types fell. Spending on commercial building went down 2.7% at the beginning of this year. While the construction industry did not see overall growth in January, one sector that could help improve productivity of United States builders looking for projects is that of the public sector. Construction spending on state and federal projects has increased during this same time. UNITED STATES January showed increases of 4.4% for road and highway construction projects and of 2.1% for schools, among increases in other public sector areas. GLOBAL Sky Bridge Being NEWS Developed Will Become Biggest of CHINA Its Kind in World When an aerial bridge is completed in Chongqing, China by Singaporean developer CapitaLand, it will become the largest example so far of a “horizontal skyscraper” anywhere in the world. This structure will act as a sky bridge that goes across four towers. One section is already completed of the planned 400m bridge called the Conservatory, and the anticipated completion date for the rest of the project is the middle of 2018. The Conservatory will provide a viewing deck to see the city of Chongqing, as well as places to eat and sky gardens and swimming pools to enjoy. “Some of the world’s most advanced construction and engineering techniques have been deployed to install this megastructure,” said the president of CapitaLand, Lim Ming Yan. The sky bridge was designed by architect Moshe Safdie from Canada, while the structural design was conducted by consulting engineer Arup from the United Kingdom. 4 HEIGHTS GLOBAL NEWS The United Kingdom Faces a Lack of Quality in Its Construction Industry The United Kingdom is currently having problems with quality in the construction industry. The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) began a Construction Quality Commission in October 2017 after some serious construction failings came to light in the United Kingdom. The commission’s research found that “more than three-quarters of construction professionals believe the industry’s management of quality is inadequate.” The commission questioned industry professionals, related sectors and the public. Some problems that were highlighted in the research included deficient management of quality that negatively affects workmanship and signing off work. Instead of focusing on quality management, the industry in the UK has been making price and program its main components. Research findings also noted that quality in construction is not adequately covered in educational programs. UNITED KINGDOM Based on this research, the CIOB will make recommendations to improve quality within UK construction. These include creating a qualification or certification that’s focused on quality, developing a quality code with best practices and standards, and improving the GLOBAL focus on quality within education. NEWS “Plantscrapers” Could Be Answer SWEDEN to Feeding an Increasing Population A Swedish project is showing that construction can help with some of the world’s pressing problems. This is the case with a recent project idea known as “plantscrapers” created by Plantagon, a Swedish food-tech company. These “plantscrapers” are office buildings that feature indoor farms taken care of hydroponically, which is a method that doesn’t use soil. Plantagon offers “plantscrapers” as a solution to provide enough food to a growing population. As the world population could go up to close to 10 billion people by 2050 and create the question of how to feed this number of people, one of these buildings could contribute by feeding 5,000 people with its indoor farm. Construction is underway of Plantagon’s first “plantscraper” known as The World Food Building, which started in 2012 and has an anticipated completion date of 2020. This $40 million building is located in Linkoping, Sweden, and it will make use of robot technology to create a mostly automated farm. Plantagon hopes that this idea will grow to different cities throughout the world. GLOBAL NEWS HEIGHTS 5 Firms Named to Complete Montreal’s Light Rail System Project Canada has a planned project to connect Montreal suburbs with the city and airport through a light rail system.

    WTW Property Market 2004 CONTENTS CHAIRMAN’S FOREWORD 2004 MARKET DIRECTION KUALA LUMPUR & SELANGOR PENANG PERAK KEDAH & PERLIS JOHOR MALACCA NEGERI SEMBILAN PAHANG KELANTAN TERENGGANU SABAH & LABUAN SARAWAK PROFESSIONAL SERVICES WTW NETWORK PROFESSIONAL STAFF WTW Property Market 2004 CHAIRMAN’S FOREWORD We are happy to present our Property Market Report for 2004- a year of promise and expectation. The measure commonly applied in describing the state of the property market is the volume of transactions, in terms of numbers of sale and purchase, and in terms of the consideration realised. In that context, except for the residential sector, all other sectors continue to languish; a description that can be confidently said to prevail everywhere in the country except in the Klang Valley. Any forecast or statement of the property market outlook over the coming year/s based on Mohd Talhar Abdul Rahman this measure would rely almost totally on the consideration of the “tradeability” of the transacted units. Price movements and the number of transactions by themselves belie other critical elements which require deeper probing if the prevailing state of the market is regarded as unacceptable, and therefore requires correction. The market cannot correct itself, particularly when the so-called market-driven property market had during the last decade been afflicted with a fatal dose of supply-demand mismatch. It was not by being market-driven that the malaise developed. The root of it all was the overwhelming focus on “tradeability” of property, rather than on the “occupation” of property and its utility. Other factors merely compound the problem. What we have seen through the seven years post 1997 is the strength of the residential market.
