## Scope

Singapore. The regulator's enforcement list records a qualified person for structural works convicted in March 2024 for failing to exercise due diligence in supervising civil and structural engineering works he was appointed to supervise, to ensure they followed approved structural plans, and for failing to notify the regulator of deviations; another, in November 2024, was fined for permitting building works in deviation from approved plans. A running list without a publication date; it shows who answers for deviations, not who decides the fix.

## What this means

In Singapore, the engineer named on a project answers personally, in court, for what happens on site against the drawings.

## What it does not show yet

Enforcement against individuals in one country; it does not show how site supervision is done or by what tools.
