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.
Learn more →A&A, reconstruction, and rebuilds — done by a licensed builder who'll tell you the truth about your project before you commit. No middleman, no middle management, no surprises in month six.
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.
From a small addition to a full reconstruction, from custom metalwork to solar installations — we build what your home actually needs.

Learn more →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.
Learn more →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.
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.
Learn more →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.
Work happening this week, straight from our sites.
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.
A two-storey landed house taken from its original cream facade through demolition to a dark, timber-clad frontage with a glass balcony screen. Inside: a timber-tread staircase with a slatted arched display niche beneath it, a tiled bathroom, an outdoor bar and a covered deck with a stone water-feature wall.
An older terrace house with a tiled roof, window grilles and terrazzo floors, reworked with a white rendered facade, a horizontal-slat gate and a glass balcony screen. Inside, an open-plan living and dining area with a black-framed staircase, a stone-splashback kitchen with an island, new bathrooms, bedrooms and a home study.
Steel racking built inside a covered boat storage shed: blue uprights and orange beams fitted with galvanised bunk brackets and timber bunks, stacking jet skis five tiers high and boats on two and three tiers, with safe-working-load labels on the beams.
A steel mezzanine built inside a factory unit, with a black mesh balustrade, hazard-striped edge and a checker-plate staircase, giving a second level of floor space above the forklift and pallet area. The deck is finished in a grey coating with ceiling-mounted air conditioning.
A high-ceiling office unit fitted with a mesh-railed loft floor and a staircase of cantilevered timber treads on a single steel stringer, with a blue accent wall and timber-look flooring below and carpet tiles on the loft.
A black steel loft platform on posts inside an industrial unit, with a mesh balustrade, a timber-tread staircase with black railings, a dark-coated loft floor and shelving fitted in the space beneath.
A red-painted steel canopy over a rooftop terrace with solar panels forming its roof, plus rows of panels on frames across the flat roof.
A blue-painted steel mezzanine with a galvanised grating deck, railings and an access stair inside a factory, shown from the crane delivery of the steel sections and the site briefing through to the finished platform.
Bundles of orange racking beams, blue upright frames and galvanised deck panels stacked in a warehouse.
A steel mezzanine inside a factory unit with a black mesh balustrade, hazard-striped edge and a checker-plate staircase, giving a second level of floor space above the forklift and pallet area.
A ground-floor unit given a full-height framed glass frontage, a steel entrance staircase with checker-plate treads and pipe handrails, and glass-partitioned office rooms with timber-look flooring inside.
A grey-painted structural steel mezzanine on I-beam columns with metal decking, pipe railings and staircases finished in red checker-plate treads.
Long runs of two-tier blue steel racking built to hold cable drums in a covered shed and open yard, shown from the empty site through welding of the steel frames to the loaded racks, plus checker-plate steel dock platforms with a safety railing.
A bare industrial space turned into a rehearsal studio: insulated stud partitions, a control-room window, timber wall panels and a faceted timber ceiling with recessed lighting and speakers, shown from construction through to the finished room.
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.
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.
These terms apply to landed property. Work on non-landed property carries our standard 12-month warranty.
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.
What we're learning, what we're seeing, what we wish more landed homeowners knew before they signed a contract.
