The Singapore Mediation Centre, as the Authorised Nominating Body under the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 2004 (“SOP Act”), and the Building and Construction Authority were pleased to jointly organise the 4th National Conference on Construction Adjudication.

Fittingly held on the 20th Anniversary of the SOP Act coming into force on 1 April 2025, the Conference traversed a broad canvas of diverse topics of interest to stakeholders across the construction industry, including developers, contractors, suppliers, consultants, and construction lawyers.

The programme began with a retrospective on key milestones in statutory adjudication, reviewing landmark decisions that have shaped the construction payment landscape. This was followed by a comparative analysis of the SOP Act and regional legislation, alongside stakeholder insights and expert discussions on the practical implications of adjudication. The event concluded with bold predictions on the future of adjudication and a lively debate on a deliberately provocative topic.
