Bridging the gap between cultures

Over the weekend, Emmolina May delivered a bilingual presentation at a workshop hosted by G&Light, engaging directly with developers who play a central role in shaping the built environment.

In her session, she highlighted common contractual pitfalls, outlined practical risk mitigation strategies, and emphasized the importance of clear agreements to prevent costly disputes. Presenting in both English and Chinese, she ensured accessibility for a diverse audience, including professionals who may face language or cultural barriers when navigating construction contracts.

Emmolina underscored that contracts are the backbone of every project, yet many professionals, particularly those from minority backgrounds, find them difficult to understand. She reaffirmed her commitment to making contractual knowledge more accessible and practical for all participants in the industry.

Emmolina concluded with a call to action: raising awareness of contractual issues is key to building a stronger, fairer, and more resilient construction sector.
