Tiong Seng leads as Singapore’s “green contractor”

The group has an established track record in the construction of "green buildings" in Singapore, having won two contracts from HDB’s eco-projects in Punggol West.

According to DBS’ report, the contract will include the construction of electrical substations, basement car parks, rain garden, green front, external works and related civil engineering works.

Here’s more from DBS:

Tiong Seng announced that the group has been awarded the S$147m Housing Development Board contract for the construction of 804 units for "Waterway Terraces II" in Punggol West. This follows the group's first contract win of S$192m for the construction of 1,072 units (in a development known as "Punggol Terraces I" back in Apr'11). These 2 projects are part of HDB's vision of turning Punggol into an Eco-Town with Eco-friendly features.

The contract will include the construction of electrical substations, basement car parks, rain garden, green front, external works and related civil engineering works.

Our thoughts
This is another feature on the cap for Tiong Seng, which has gain traction in the development of "eco-building" niche with HDB. The group's continued focus in promoting work efficiency and productivity and its established track record in the construction of "green buildings" in Singapore, will ride on the emerging trend in the construction industry as developers focus on environmental sustainability.

The average cost/dwelling for this contract is estimated to be S$182k, which is a slight increase to the S$179k/unit that was awarded to Tiong Seng back in April. This could imply that gross margins on this project will remain relatively stable in an environment of increasing cost pressures (from raw materials, labour, etc).

While not expected to have a significant impact on the group's earnings in the current financial year, this contract will boost Tiong Seng's order book to S$1.2bn, which is well ahead of peers in the construction industry, providing the group with good earnings visibility over the next 2 years.

We maintain our BUY call and TP of S$0.31 (based on 35% discount to its SOTP).

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
