Technologies

At Obayashi Singapore, we harness advanced technologies – from BIM to digital tools and sustainable methods – to deliver smarter, safer, and more efficient projects that shape the future of Singapore’s built environment.

Building Information Modelling (BIM)

We have been implementing BIM since 2010. Our BIM models are utilized to improve accuracy and productivity through design optimization and automation, coordination, rendering, virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR), walkthrough, shop drawing production, work sequence simulation, quantity take-off, material tracking, fabrication, and as-built verification.

Digital Tools for Smart Construction

We leverage point cloud data from drone mapping for progress reporting and utilize 3D laser scanning point cloud data for as-built verification by overlaying them onto the BIM model.

Modular Construction and Prefabrication

To enhance quality and reduce construction timelines, we apply modular methods such as Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC) and MEP prefabrication. These approaches improve site safety and support faster, cleaner builds—ideal for data centres, institutional, and healthcare projects.

Automation

We implement real-time material tracking automated through Bluetooth sensor tags and BLEAT gateways, providing continuous, location-based updates on fabrication status, material movement, delivery, and installation. Integrated with our BIM model, this system enhances site coordination and enables accurate, data-driven progress monitoring.
