SGBC will continue to actively support the transformation of the building and construction industry towards the future economy. With green building identified as one of three key pillars of the Construction Industry Transformation Map, SGBC is streamlining its suite of programmes and activities to support this key pillar. Chief of which is the launch of the Green Mark Professional Qualification Scheme, the successor to the Green Mark Manager/ Professionals registry previously maintained by the Building and Construction Authority (BCA).
