Tiong Seng Contractors (Pte) Ltd is a Singapore building and civil engineering contractor with more than 65 years of history, tracing back to its founding in 1959. The company was established through a partnership between Mr Pek Ah Tuan of Peck Tiong Choon and Mr Lee Tuan Chay of Song Hup Seng, who already had close business ties before the organisation began.
Tiong Seng started out in earthworks and excavation, working on public sector projects that helped shape modern Singapore. Through the 1970s the company expanded into civil engineering, contributing to the country's roads, bridges and sewage infrastructure, including some of Singapore's first highways and expressways. In the 1980s, Tiong Seng took on larger projects, including Gate 2 — the largest and most advanced of the Port of Singapore Authority's new gates at Tanjong Pagar Terminal — and government building projects such as schools and HDB flats, evolving from a sub-contractor into a provider of design and turnkey construction.
Today, Tiong Seng seeks to be a trusted investment choice in real estate and the built environment, delivering excellence and creating stakeholder value across residential, commercial, institutional, civil engineering, foundation and infrastructural projects, including design-and-build work.

The company was founded through a partnership between Mr Pek Ah Tuan of Peck Tiong Choon and Mr Lee Tuan Chay of Song Hup Seng, who already had close business ties before establishing the organisation together.
In its early years, Tiong Seng focused on earthworks and excavation, taking on public sector projects that played a role in shaping modern Singapore. The 1970s brought expansion into civil engineering, with the company contributing to the country's roads, bridges and sewage infrastructure, including work on some of Singapore's first highways and expressways.
The 1980s marked a turning point, as Tiong Seng began taking on larger and more complex projects. It built Gate 2 — the largest and most advanced of the four new gates commissioned by the then Port of Singapore Authority for its Tanjong Pagar Terminal — and undertook government building projects such as schools and HDB flats, evolving from a sub-contractor into a full design and turnkey construction provider.
Today, Tiong Seng offers building construction and civil engineering, property development, pre-fabrication, general engineering works, green technology, and Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) construction methods. With more than 65 years of experience, the company is capable of undertaking residential, commercial, institutional, civil engineering, foundation and infrastructural projects for both private and public sector clients, as well as design-and-build work that adds further diversification to its business.
Tiong Seng's project history spans some of Singapore's most recognisable developments. On the hospitality side, the company built ParkRoyal on Pickering and The Capella, Singapore, alongside its work on the Sentosa Integrated Resorts. In healthcare and mixed-use development, it delivered Connexion, combining a hospital, medical suites and a hotel. Residential work spans developments including ECO Sanctuary, Waterway Terraces I & II at Punggol, The Panorama, Sol Acres and Woodlands Meadow, while industrial projects include JTC Space @ Tuas, the Equinix Data Centre SG3, and multiple bus depots at Ulu Pandan and Seletar. On the civil engineering side, the company completed the Stamford Diversion Canal Contract 2, and in institutional work, delivered the SIM Campus Extension.
Tiong Seng Group's stated aim is to be the trusted investment choice in real estate and the built environment, delivering excellence and creating value for its stakeholders. With decades of experience spanning residential, commercial, institutional and infrastructural work, and a growing focus on green technology and DfMA construction methods, Tiong Seng Contractors continues to build on the foundations it laid in Singapore more than 65 years ago, operating from its headquarters at Kallang Place.
