Ying Tao Construction is a Singapore building contractor founded in 1996 and based at #06-113 Tradehub 21 on Boon Lay Way in Clementi. True to its motto — "We don't just build homes... we inspire better home" — the company has held true to the same values since establishment, completing 649 projects for private homeowners, estates and institutional clients across the island.
The firm is registered with the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) as a Licensed General Builder Class 2 and as a Registered Contractor Grade C3 under CW01. It is also certified BizSAFE Level 3 by the Workplace Safety and Health Council, reflecting its commitment to the highest standard of safety and health on every site.
Ying Tao's scope covers new proposed erection of landed houses, reconstruction and additions & alterations, heritage and conservation houses, and public, institutional and MCST projects — with recent work ranging from new detached homes with attic, pool and basement at Avon Road to a playground-to-foot-reflexology-path conversion at Summer Garden. Enquiries are handled personally by Managing Director Choong Sin Kwong and Project Coordinator Leonard Choong, and the company is available six days a week.
Ying Tao Construction has been quietly shaping Singapore's landed housing landscape since 1996. From its office at #06-113 Tradehub 21 on Boon Lay Way in Clementi, the company takes on everything from ground-up detached houses to careful conservation work, guided by a simple creed: "We don't just build homes... we inspire better home." Nearly three decades on, that philosophy has carried the team through hundreds of projects across the island — 649 completed, by their own count — for private homeowners and institutional clients alike. The firm's portfolio spans private landed residences as well as estate-wide and community projects.
Construction is a licensed industry, and Ying Tao's credentials are easy to verify. The company is registered with the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) as a Licensed General Builder Class 2 and as a Registered Contractor Grade C3 under workhead CW01, the classification that covers general building works. Safety and health receive the same attention: Ying Tao holds BizSAFE Certification Level 3 from the Workplace Safety and Health Council, signalling that its site practices meet the council's standards. For homeowners about to hand over their most valuable asset, these registrations are more than paperwork — they are the baseline of trust. The firm's registration number is 52834689W and it is a GST-registered business.
Ying Tao's work falls into four service lines. The first is new proposed erection: starting from an empty plot and delivering a complete landed home, whether a two-storey detached house, a semi-detached dwelling under envelope control, or something more ambitious with an attic, swimming pool and basement. The second is reconstruction together with additions and alterations, where existing houses are substantially rebuilt, extended or reconfigured — a common route for owners of older terrace and corner terrace homes who want modern living without giving up their address. The third is heritage and conservation houses, a discipline that demands sensitivity to original fabric and careful regulatory compliance. Finally, the company takes on public, institutional and MCST projects, bringing residential-grade standards to shared and community spaces.
The firm's latest projects read like a cross-section of Singapore landed housing. At Holland Park, the team carried out proposed additions and alterations to an existing two-storey detached dwelling house with a swimming pool. At Avon Road, it erected two new units of two-storey detached houses complete with attic, swimming pool and basement. At Woo Mon Chew Road, an existing two-storey corner terrace was reconstructed with an attic, while at Prince of Wales Road the company delivered a new two-storey envelope control semi-detached house with an attic. Not everything is residential: at Summer Garden, Ying Tao converted a playground into a foot reflexology path with associated works — a typical example of its MCST-scope work for private estates.
Construction is ultimately a people business, and Ying Tao keeps its leadership accessible. Choong Sin Kwong, the Managing Director, and Leonard Choong, the Project Coordinator, are both reachable directly by mobile and email — a refreshing change from the runarounds homeowners sometimes experience with larger contractors. The company is available six days a week, and prospective clients are encouraged to get in touch to discuss a proposed erection, an additions-and-alterations exercise or a conservation job. For a project as personal as a home, that direct line to the decision-makers matters.
For homeowners weighing up builders, the case Ying Tao presents is straightforward: nearly thirty years in operation, BCA licensing, BizSAFE Level 3 safety certification, a documented tally of 649 completed projects, and a span of capability that runs from a single reflexology path to a pair of detached houses with basements. Whether the job is building a dream home from the ground up or breathing new life into an old one, this Clementi-based builder has quite literally done it before.
