Straits Construction is a builder with an office at Hoihup Building on Jalan Kilang, in Bukit Merah. The company says it started in 1969, when its founder joined the trade as an apprentice, and it secured its first public housing contract in 1982. The website lists projects including a multi-tenanted industrial development for furniture firms, a 33-storey mixed-use tower with a hotel, a campus in Punggol, a data centre at Loyang Drive, a public housing project in Tengah, and a 12-storey school campus with sports facilities.
Reviews are mixed. One customer says the builders damaged a building wall during construction, that a repair was promised but not done after a year, and that the Building and Construction Authority has since taken action. Another visitor praises the workers and management on a site visit. A third complains that a call to the office was answered with no greeting and an impatient tone.
Within a kilometre there are 23 other builders.
