Alex Chua Zhong Liang

Awarded the Future Leader Scholarship by LASALLE to pursue further studies in London, Alex Chua has many years of experience working in the commercial and residential design industry.

He believes every project must begin with a narrative that dictates the whole spatial experience and a great designer should create meaningful and poetic spaces for the user. He firmly believes in using computer hardware and software technology to explore design and spaces. By doing so, real physical spaces can be correctly translated and created from the mind of the designer.

• Working closely with clients to conceptualise and develop designs
• Undertaking projects from submission to completion
• Liaising with relevant government authorities, e.g. URA, BCA, MOE, FSB etc., on submission of drawings to comply with the requirements in obtaining COF
• Liaising with other Q.P.s, e.g. Structural engineer, M&E engineer, licensed plumber etc. on building services.
• Preparing tender drawings and doing periodic site supervision to ensure the works are properly carried out in accordance with the drawings
