The association will bring a delegation from its member companies to attend the 3-day program at the famous Marina Bay Sands Hotel where participants will gain a deeper understanding on how BIM works and its benefits for construction projects. The participants will also enjoy the opportunity to network with Singaporean construction companies.

Following a brief introduction about BIM from Mr. Touch Samnang, Deputy Director of CCA member, Overseas Cambodian Investment Corporation (OCIC), H.E. Chea Sophara expressed support for applying BIM to all construction projects in Cambodia.

In addition to this upcoming trip, the CCA also announced its intention to bring members; delegations of project and site managers from Cambodia to visit project sites in neighbouring countries such as Thailand and Vietnam to learn more about site management, site safety and construction processes.
