Takenaka Corporation's Singapore branch embarked on the monumental KTRD project, a 31-story construction endeavour spanning 59,180m². This ambitious undertaking was not without its unique set of enterprise-level challenges.

The first of these challenges was the complexity arising from the involvement of numerous stakeholders, leading to frequent miscommunication and errors in coordinating information and decisions. Additionally, the project faced delays in the adoption of digital tools due to traditional work schedules, resulting in time-consuming and repetitive manual processes.
