U.S. Army Corp of Engineers Chooses Kahua to Modernize Construction Management
USACE, in collaboration with construction partners, executes billions of dollars yearly to deliver global engineering and construction projects, including infrastructure, dams, levees, military facilities, and navigation projects, for the Department of Defense (DoD) and other civilian agencies.
'Our Construction Management Innovation Strategy includes the pillars of people, process, technology and continuous improvement to serve as a springboard for our digital transformation. This multi-faceted approach is essential for leading change in a large organization like the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,' said Chief of Construction for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. 'With so many inconsistencies across districts due to technologies that have not kept pace with our industry partners, we needed a tool that would help enforce standards in how we work, across departments and into the field.'
'The main purpose of our technology modernization office is to figure out the deployment of technology to the practitioners in the field. I see it as a massive force multiplier for the agency and hopefully for the industry.'
Due to Kahua's proven federal and DoD experience, secure and scalable platform, world-class support, and robust partnership marketplace, USACE chose Kahua for Federal as their construction project management system to deliver efficiencies and collaboration across agencies.
'We're proud to provide the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with tools to improve efficiency and security, especially during a time of heightened scrutiny,' says Kahua Co-Founder and President Brian Moore. 'USACE joins 15 other federal agencies we already serve, reinforcing Kahua's commitment to serving the federal government.'
With a modern construction project management platform, USACE is now aligned with industry best practices that prioritize efficiency and transparency. They have streamlined workflows, gained visibility into project risks, and improved cost management. The organization's many stakeholders will be able to use a single source of information and be better prepared for future business process innovations.

Asia's factory activity worsens as US trade uncertainty bites
TOKYO: Asia's factory activity deteriorated in July as soft global demand and lingering uncertainty over US tariffs weighed on business morale, private sector surveys showed on Friday, clouding the outlook for the region's fragile recovery. The surveys were taken before Japan and South Korea clinched trade deals with Washington, offering some hope that receding uncertainty could prop up manufacturing activity in coming months, some analysts say. Factory activity shrank in export power-houses Japan and South Korea, surveys for July showed, underscoring the challenge Asia faces as President Donald Trump's policies threaten the global free trade system the region relied upon for growth. China's factory activity also deteriorated in July as softening business growth led manufacturers to scale back production, boding ill for the region's economy. The S&P Global China General Manufacturing PMI fell to 49.5 in July from 50.4 in June, undershooting analysts' expectations of 50.4 in a Reuters poll and dropping below the 50 threshold that separates growth from contraction. The reading comes a day after an official survey showed China's manufacturing activity shrank for a fourth straight month in July, suggesting a surge in exports ahead of higher US tariffs has started to fade while domestic demand remained sluggish. The survey "provides further evidence that China's economy lost some momentum last month, largely due to domestic weakness," said Zichun Huang, an economist at Capital Economics. The S&P Global Japan manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) also fell to 48.9 in July from 50.1 in June, a sign US tariffs were hurting the world's fourth-largest economy. Most of the survey data was collected before the announcement of a Japan-US trade agreement last month, which lowers tariffs imposed on Japan to 15% from a previously threatened 25%. As the trade deal with Washington kicks in, "it will be important to see if this will translate into greater client confidence and improved sales in the months ahead," said Annabel Fiddes, economics associate director at S&P Global Market Intelligence, which compiles the survey. South Korea also saw factory activity contract in July for the sixth straight month with the S&P Global PMI falling to 48.0 in July, from 48.7 in June. "Both production volumes and new orders fell at a steeper rate than that in June, with anecdotal evidence indicating that weakness in the domestic economy was compounded by the impacts of US tariff policy," said Usamah Bhatti, economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence. The survey was conducted from July 10 to July 23, before South Korea reached on Wednesday a trade deal with the US lowering tariffs to 15% from a threatened 25%. Factory activity in July expanded in the Philippines and Vietnam, but shrank in Taiwan, Indonesia and Malaysia, PMIs showed.

World Bank revises Malaysia's 2025 GDP growth forecast to 3.9%
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's gross domestic product (GDP) growth forecast for 2025 has been revised to 3.9 per cent, a 0.6 percentage-point downgrade from January 2025's projection, according to the World Bank's Global Economic Prospects report. The downgrade was attributed to the unpredictable macroeconomic effects of higher trade barriers, which the World Bank said could weigh on growth despite having benefited from fiscal policy support such as social spending programmes and public investment. It also stated that modest fiscal consolidation is expected to continue in Malaysia. Besides Malaysia, other East Asia and Pacific (EAP) countries also saw notable revisions, with the Philippines and Vietnam each experiencing a 0.8 percentage-point downgrade, with growth forecasts lowered to 5.3 per cent and 5.8 per cent, respectively. Thailand's projection was cut by 1.1 percentage points to 1.8 per cent, while Myanmar recorded the sharpest downgrade of 4.5 percentage points, bringing its 2025 GDP forecast to -2.5 per cent, said the report. Global growth is projected to decline to 2.3 per cent in 2025, with a slowdown in most economies compared to last year. This rate of growth will be the slowest since 2008, excluding periods of global recession. According to the report, Malaysia, which is among the economies with large export-oriented manufacturing sectors, is particularly exposed to a reemergence of trade tensions, higher trade costs, and weaker growth in major economies. It said gauges of manufacturing activity, including headline manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Indexes (PMIs) and goods trade indicators, have eased recently. Some trade-exposed emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs), such as Malaysia, have seen the new export orders component of the manufacturing PMI weaken markedly since November amid increasing global trade policy uncertainty, the report said. - Bernama
