Landed A&A and Rebuilds — Every District Except Sentosa

We carry out addition & alteration works, reconstruction and rebuilds on landed homes across Singapore. Our own team plus subcontractors we have worked with for years, so where your house is does not change what we can do or what we charge.

The short answer

We Cover All of Singapore, With One Exception

Every district in Singapore, except Sentosa — we do not take work there. Everywhere else, from a terrace in Telok Kurau to a detached house in Namly, is work we do.

Distance does not change the quotation. What changes the cost is the structural condition of the existing house, how much floor area you are adding, site access, and the finishing standard — never the postcode.

By region

Landed Estates We Work In

These are the areas we serve. If your estate is not named here it does not mean we do not cover it — it means the list would be endless. Ask.

East

The largest concentration of landed housing in Singapore, and the bulk of A&A and rebuild work.

Katong · Joo Chiat · Siglap · Frankel Estate · Opera Estate · Telok Kurau · Kembangan · Eunos · Bedok · Upper East Coast · Kew Drive & Tanah Merah · Simpang Bedok · Eastwood · Bayshore · Changi

Central & North-East

Established estates, many built in the 1960s–80s, where structural condition drives what is possible.

Serangoon Garden · Braddell Heights · Seletar Hills · Sennett Estate · Lorong Chuan · Lorong Ong Lye · Bartley · Upper Thomson · Sembawang Hills · Bishan · Ang Mo Kio · Hougang · Kovan · Jalan Kayu · Mimosa & Springleaf

Prime & Bukit Timah

Larger plots, tighter envelope controls, and Good Class Bungalow areas with their own rules.

West & North

From the Clementi and West Coast estates up through Hillview and the northern districts.

Clementi Park · West Coast · Sunset Way · Hillview · Bukit Batok · Choa Chu Kang · Sembawang · Yishun · Woodlands

Plus every other landed estate on the island. The only place we do not work is Sentosa.

Why the district matters

Two Houses on the Same Road Can Have Different Rules

URA sets landed housing controls plot by plot — the envelope you can build within, setbacks from each boundary, how many storeys, and what the roof can do. Some estates sit inside Good Class Bungalow areas, where the rules are tighter again. Others fall within conservation boundaries.

This is why "my neighbour did it, so I can too" is the most expensive assumption in landed renovation. We pull your property's actual URA records before quoting. Sometimes that tells us straight away that an idea will not be approved — better to know before you have paid anyone to draw it.

Older estates bring a second question: what the existing structure will carry. A house built in the 1970s was not designed for today's loads, so adding a storey often means reinforcing what is already there. We check that before quoting, not after starting. More on how we approach A&A works.

What you get, wherever you are

The Same Terms in Every District

  • BCA General Builder Class 2 (GB2) licensed, bizSAFE Level 3.
  • Seven-year workmanship warranty on a landed home, covering everything we build — and it follows the house, so a buyer inherits the balance if you sell. Painting is quoted at five years, because that is Nippon's own warranty on the product.
  • 5–10% deposit, the rest billed against completed milestones. Unhappy partway through and you can stop, paying only for what is done.
  • Public liability insurance in force for the whole of your project.
  • The builder on site. Larry Hoo is the Director and does the work; an Architect and QP handle design and certification.

Common questions

Where We Work, Answered

Which areas of Singapore does Wong Lye work in?
Every district in Singapore except Sentosa. Landed A&A works, reconstruction and rebuilds are carried out by our own team together with subcontractors we have worked with for years, so coverage is island-wide rather than limited to one region. Sentosa is the single exception — we do not take work there.
Do you work on landed homes outside the prime districts?
Yes. Terrace, semi-detached and detached houses across the east, north-east, central and west are the bulk of what we do — Serangoon Garden, Siglap, Frankel, Opera Estate, Telok Kurau, Kembangan, Braddell Heights, Thomson, Upper East Coast and the rest. The prime Bukit Timah and Holland estates are part of the work, not the whole of it.
Does the district affect what I am allowed to build?
Yes, and more than most owners expect. URA sets landed housing area controls, envelope and setback rules plot by plot, and some estates sit inside Good Class Bungalow areas or conservation boundaries with tighter limits. Two houses on the same road can have different envelopes. We pull your property's actual URA records before quoting rather than assuming what the neighbours did is allowed.
Do you charge more for areas further from your base?
No. Location does not change the quotation. What changes cost is the work itself — the structural condition of the existing house, how much you are adding, site access, and finishing standard.
Who actually turns up on site?
Larry Hoo, the Director, is the builder and is on site. He is not the engineer — an Architect and a Qualified Person handle design and the submissions that need certification. The trades are our own team and subcontractors we have used for years, not whoever is cheapest that month.
