Case Study: Tiong Seng Contractors Pte Ltd achieves increased productivity and project visibility with Microsoft Power BI

Innovative construction company Tiong Seng takes digital transformation to the next level with Microsoft Power BI

Tiong Seng Contractors Pte Ltd, a pioneering Singapore construction firm with six decades of experience, faced industry-wide challenges of delayed, over‑budget projects and a need for greater productivity and visibility across design and project management. To drive digital transformation and better data-driven decision making, the company adopted Microsoft Power BI (alongside other Microsoft tools) to modernize reporting and analytics across its operations.

Using Microsoft Power BI, Tiong Seng built interactive reports and dashboards that streamline workflows, accelerate insight discovery, and improve collaboration, while also piloting Microsoft HoloLens for quality assurance. The combined digital approach has saved time, enabled the company to take on more projects with higher efficiency, and—building on earlier BIM adoption that cut drafting headcount by half—helped secure industry recognition such as the BCA BIM Platinum Award and the buildingSMART International Award. Microsoft Power BI has been central to turning Tiong Seng’s data into actionable productivity gains.
