CEDAR CAPITAL GROUP  TOKYO target of Foreign Investors have Seen Potential in Business and Technology in the City

According to the Asia Construction Outlook 2014 survey, the prospect for both the size and the growth of Asian Construction market remains positive with 92% respondents in agreement. It is expected that the market will continue growing healthier for 50% for the remainder of the year. The survey results in AECOM 2014 indicates that Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand stand out as countries which respondents expect to become increasingly attractive to foreign suppliers of construction service. However, comparing to the 2014 survey results with those from the 2013 survey indicate that respondent’s views have become more pessimistic regarding long-term market attractiveness in Singapore and India. Driven by the high quality standards, Japan with its capital Tokyo in particular holds foreign interest in the past decades. The country, along with Singapore is ready to compete to international market growth maintaining the stable increase in growth and development. Multinationals have been increasing their footprint in Asia for years as they have moved from selling into the region to also investing here. Asian companies are also being competitive threats outside the region as well, as they set their site on the global dominance. It is never easy to set foot into a developing nation. Aside from the competition that may arise against local businesses, there are also competitors among fellow foreigners, causing a lot of issues unresolved but being one of the most disciplined countries in Asia, Japan has been growing well and fast. Tokyo has been a target of local trade and business establishments since a lot of foreign investors have seen potential in business and technology in the city.On the other hand, in the sudden increase of companies with the same industry, project managers and the public have become keen and aware as to which company to trust. An established company such as Cedar Capital Group which is based in Singapore and sells and leases capital equipment with agents in Tokyo, Japan and Seoul, South Korea has already secured its place in the industry. Above all, the government continues to implement arduous process and strict policies to maintain only legit and licensed companies to operate. This being given, contractors should rest assured be secured in their field.

Scope of Building Services Engineering Importance in Comprises | CedAr CaPitAl GrOup

Have you ever wondered why there are so many people in a construction site? And how come there seems to be more people in control with so many functions when they only have to build a single building? Shouldn’t it only be the leader and the workers?

Well, we might as well change our perception on that since Cedar Capital Group is about to introduce to you one of the most important occupation in a construction site: the Building Services Engineer.

Building services engineers are responsible for the design, installation, operation and monitoring of the mechanical, electrical and public health systems required for the safe, comfortable and environmentally friendly operation of modern buildings. The term for the same occupation may vary depending on the country. In United States of America, these individuals are called architectural engineers which have been adapted by different construction companies around the world. In Tokyo, Japan and Singapore, the role is called building services engineer, of course in their own languages respectively.

The scope of this job is wide. Building services engineering comprises mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and plumbing or public health (MEP) engineering, all of which are further sub-divided into the following:

• Communication lines, telephones and IT networks (ICT) • Energy supply – gas, electricity and renewable sources • Escalators and lifts • Fire detection and protection • Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) • Lightning protection • Low voltage (LV) systems, distribution boards and switchgear • Natural lighting and artificial lighting, and building facades • Security and alarm systems • Ventilation and refrigeration • Water, drainage and plumbing

Building services engineers influence the architecture of a building and play a significant role on the sustainability and energy demand of a building. Within building services engineering, new roles are emerging. 

Building services engineers play a significant role in combating climate change. As such, a typical building services engineer has a wide-ranging career path:

• Design: designing layouts and requirements for building services for residential or commercial developments. • Construction: supervising the construction of the building services, commissioning systems and ongoing maintenance and operation of services. • Environmental: developing new energy saving methods for construction, designing new and improved energy conservation systems for buildings. • Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC): specializing in the design, development, construction and operation of HVAC systems. • Electrical technology: specializing in the design and development of electrical systems required for safe and energy sustaining operation of buildings and ensures that they are not using fraud materials for the safety of a project.
