"Transforming Construction Through Digital Innovation"
Keynote by Chief Executive Officer, BuildSpace — Chew Fu Keong
Greetings, everyone.
When my partners and I founded BuildSpace in 2011, we saw something that troubled us deeply. The construction industry – one of the world’s largest economic sectors – was stuck in the past. While every other industry embraced digital transformation, construction remained anchored to manual processes that consumed countless hours and resources.
We knew this had to change.
I’m here to share our journey from that initial vision to where we stand today. In those early years, we dedicated ourselves to developing what would become our BuildSpace Pro Beta version. But we didn’t stop at creation – we took our solution directly to the industry leaders: Eco World, SP Setia, Sime Darby Property, and Gamuda Land. Gamuda Land was the first to fully utilise our E-Project System before it was extended to Gamuda Berhad.
Chief Executive Officer BuildSpace Vision
We believe that BuildSpace has the ability to ensure that our practices are as per global standard while adhering to legal requirements. Experts from all circles within the construction ecosystem (i.e. main or sub contractors, consultants and developers) will certainly benefit from our presence and continued curiosity to further enhance BuildSpace and its intelligence. With strong presence and extensive collaboration in the country, we believe BuildSpace will continue to grow and become the best construction software in the region. As such, allowing the industry players to embrace digitalisation in line with IR4.0.
My mission as the Chief Executive Officer of BuildSpace is clear — to position BuildSpace at the forefront of this transformation and partner with industry leaders to add value throughout every business process.
The future of construction is digital. The question is: are you ready to build it with us?
