The Building and Construction Authority (BCA), together with industry stakeholders has developed the Construction Industry Transformation Map (ITM) to shape the future economy of Singapore. One key thrust is the upscaling of professionalism and upgrading of skills of the workforce. The Built Environment sector is expected to have 25,000 trained professionals by 2025 supporting the Green Building pillar of the Construction ITM.
BCA has collaborated with SGBC to review and enhance the Green Mark Specialist Scheme to the new 'Green Mark Professional Qualification Scheme', administered by SGBC. This was announced in September 2018 at the Singapore Green Building Week, which took effect from 1 July 2019. Under SGBC's administration, key enhancements are made to refresh the Scheme, including a change in the naming convention of our Green Mark specialists (please refer to the table below).

Renewal of certification will be done on an annual basis through accumulation of CPD points. Please visit SGBC website or here more details.
These enhancements serve to uplift, upskill and better recognise the competency of our industry for career progression locally and abroad. For more information on the Green Mark Professional Qualification Scheme, please visit SGBC website or click here.
