Why landed projects go wrong
"My neighbour did it,
so I can do it too."

Half the time, we have to tell new clients their neighbour's renovation was illegal. They just didn't know. URA and BCA rules aren't obvious — and what looks like a simple addition next door might have triggered approvals, structural calculations, and submissions you'd never guess from the outside.

We'd rather have an awkward conversation in month one than a heartbreaking one in month six. So before we ever quote, we walk you through what your plot actually allows — citing the actual rules from URA and BCA, not making them up.

That's what "advice you can trust" looks like in practice. Not a slogan. The way we open every first meeting.

What we build

What We Build

From a small addition to a full reconstruction, from custom metalwork to solar installations — we build what your home actually needs.

🏗️

A&A, Reconstruction & Rebuilds

The core of what we do. Whether you're adding a room, extending a storey, or rebuilding the whole house — this is BCA General Builder territory, and where our 15 years of structural experience shows up.

⚙️

In-House Metal Fabrication

Most landed builders outsource metalwork and mark it up. We fabricate in-house — staircases, railings, gates, structural steel, custom features. Made to your build, not taken off a catalogue.

☀️

Solar System Design & Installation

Solar for landed homes — done by a licensed builder who actually understands your roof's structural capacity. Many older landed homes need reinforcement before panels can be safely installed. Pure solar vendors miss this. We don't.

Commercial Warehouse Construction

Steel-frame and concrete warehouse construction across Singapore — BCA General Builder Class 2 (GB2), with every BCA submission handled as part of the build. Warehouses are core business here, not a sideline.

How we work

One Team. One Quotation. One Point of Contact.

When you build a landed home, you usually need three separate professionals — and you're left coordinating all three yourself.

Role What They Do Usually Hired From
Architect Design, drawings, concept Separate architecture firm
Qualified Person (QP) Structural submissions to BCA Separate engineering firm
Main Builder Builds the house Separate contractor

At Wong Lye, all three work under one coordinated quotation. You deal with us. We deal with them. Problems get resolved inside the team instead of bounced between three companies blaming each other.

This is the most undersold part of what we offer — and probably the most valuable.

Selected Landed Builds & Heavy Works

Our landed portfolio is deliberately selective — we only take projects we can put our name on. Our commercial and industrial work runs deeper, with 1,500+ clients served across our 15 years.

How we engage

The Way We Bill Is the Way We Build Trust

We collect a small deposit — usually 5–10% of project value — and bill the rest in stages tied to actual job completion. If at any point you're unhappy with our work, you can stop the project and pay only for what's done.

That's how much confidence we have in our team. And it's how much protection we want to give you.

After we hand over

Seven Years on Everything We Build

On a landed home, everything we build carries a seven-year workmanship warranty from handover — and it follows the house, so if you sell, the balance passes to the buyer.

Painting is quoted at five years, because five years is Nippon's own warranty on the product and we won't promise longer than the people who make it. Full terms, including what it doesn't cover.

🛡️

Seven Years

Structural, plumbing, masonry, partitions, windows

🔑

Follows the House

Transfers to the buyer if you sell

📷

No Inspection Fee

Send a photo — small issues settled at no charge

These terms apply to landed property. Work on non-landed property carries our standard 12-month warranty.

About Wong Lye

A Builder Who Earned His Landed Work — One Client at a Time.

We didn't start out building homes. Wong Lye began in 2011 as a logistics company. By 2014, we were building our own warehouse racks because we couldn't find someone we trusted to do it properly. Neighbours saw the work. They asked us to build theirs.

Fifteen years and over 1,500 commercial and industrial clients later, those same clients started asking us to build their homes. We said yes — carefully. Today our landed work is deliberately selective. We're the builder your neighbour calls and tells you to use.

Common questions

Common Questions From Landed Homeowners

What's the difference between a renovation contractor and a BCA General Builder?
Renovation contractors handle interior works — finishing, carpentry, light alterations. They're typically HDB-licensed and not authorised for structural building works. A BCA General Builder is licensed for the structural side: foundations, A&A, reconstruction, piling, structural alterations. We're a BCA General Builder Class 2. If your project changes the building's structure or adds floor area, you need a General Builder, not a renovation contractor.
Do you handle URA and BCA submissions for me?
Yes — Wong Lye handles the drawings and the URA and BCA submissions as part of the build, not as a separate consultancy. You get one coordinated quotation that covers design, submissions, and construction.
How small or large a project will you take on?
Our typical landed work ranges from focused A&A jobs through to full reconstructions. We're deliberately selective — we only take projects we can put our name on. If your project is mostly interior renovation, we'll point you to my sister's company, Larry Contractors, who handles renovation work.
How long does a typical landed A&A take?
Anywhere from six months for focused additions to 12–18 months for full reconstructions involving structural strengthening or significant submissions. We give you a realistic timeline at the first site visit — never an optimistic one to win the job.
Why no published prices on your site?
Landed builds are too project-specific for honest published ranges. The same square footage can vary in cost by 40–60% depending on structural condition, design ambition, and submission complexity. We'd rather quote you accurately after seeing your site than mislead you with a number that won't survive contact with reality.
Can I visit your site during construction?
Yes, anytime. We expect it. Our progressive billing structure relies on you seeing the work as it progresses. If you're not comfortable visiting, that's a sign we haven't built enough trust yet — and that's our problem to solve.
