Rider Levett Bucknall RLB

On 23 July 2026, our team from RLB in Singapore had the pleasure of attending the SISV Annual Dinner 2026, joining fellow quantity surveying and built environment professionals for an evening of networking, camaraderie, and celebration. As quantity surveyors, continuous learning and active engagement with the industry are important aspects of our career. Events such as the SISV Annual Dinner provide opportunities to gain insights, exchange ideas, and connect with peers who share a common passion for advancing the built environment. We are especially proud to see our Managing Director, Sr Colin Kin, who serves as the current Chairman of the SISV. Through his dedication to advancing the profession and nurturing the next generation of quantity surveyors, he exemplifies the values of leadership, mentorship, and lifelong professional development that we strive to uphold at Rider Levett Bucknall. A big thank you to the Singapore Institute of Surveyors and Valuers (SISV) - QS Division for hosting another memorable evening. We look forward to continuing to contribute to and grow alongside the quantity surveying community.

Australia's data centre pipeline has gone from niche to national infrastructure in three years. There is now $21.6 billion of work under construction, with 95% of the future pipeline concentrated in Sydney and Melbourne. The demand case is settled. The delivery case isn't. In our latest insight, Trent Wiltshire and John Reilly look at what it will actually take to build it. Of the 78 occupations we identified as critical to data centre construction, 54 are currently in shortage. Grid capacity is now harder to secure than the site itself. Water and cooling are shaping approvals and site selection. Key equipment runs beyond 12 months. And community opposition is pushing campuses further from the cities that want them. For developers and builders, speed to market will come down to early integration, cost plans that reflect a services-heavy base, DfMA, and procurement locked in well ahead of design sign-off.

Queensland construction is showing early signs of a productivity turnaround, with RLB data indicating builders are trimming 30-40% delay contingency buffers down to 25%, signalling uplift across the industry as conditions become more predictable. Featured in The Urban Developer, RLB Director Neal Taylor highlights a clearer delivery path driven by easing industrial relations pressure and more active site programming, which are helping restore confidence across the sector. RLB's findings are backed by Queensland Major Contractors Association Chief Executive Officer Andrew Chapman, who says every productive day counts for a state facing a record pipeline of housing, infrastructure and Olympic-related delivery.
