Builder's Eye is an all-in, one-price package done in-house by Wong Lye Builders, with Larry Hoo as your point of contact. We obtain the official SLA INLIS and BCA plans, check recent nearby prices, visit the site and give you one written report per property, from a builder's and developer's point of view. The package is S$8,000 for up to 5 properties within 6 months, with authority plan fees at cost.

Buying a landed home usually means going to different people for each check: one for the plans, one for prices, one for the site, another for rebuild costs. Builder's Eye puts it all in one all-round package at one price, with everything done in-house by the Wong Lye team, so you get one clear report and one point of contact.
Some clients call this a Landed Pre-Purchase Check, a Buy Smart Landed Check, a Before You Buy Review or a Landed Truth Check. It is the same Builder's Eye service.
A landed home can look perfect at a viewing and still carry constraints that only show up later, often after the option to purchase (OTP) is exercised. These are the checks Builder's Eye covers before you exercise the OTP:
| Item | What it covers | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Road Line Plan (RLP) | Road reserve lines. Critical where road widening applies. | SLA INLIS, fee at cost |
| Certified Plan (CP) | Lot boundaries and land area. | SLA INLIS, fee at cost |
| Sewerage Interpretation Plan (SIP) | Public sewer lines around the lot. | SLA INLIS, fee at cost |
| Drainage Interpretation Plan (DIP) | Drainage around the lot. | SLA INLIS, fee at cost |
| Approved building plans | The existing approved plans, to compare with what is built. | BCA, fee at cost |
| Market price check | Recent landed transactions nearby, and how the asking price sits against them. | Paid EdgeProp data |
| Site visit | We walk the property and note potential issues with the house and its surroundings. | Wong Lye Builders |
| Builder & developer insights | Site constraints, road widening and setbacks; drainage and sewer constraints; A&A versus rebuild potential; rough cost indication; risk flags; upside and trade-offs. | Wong Lye Builders |
| Written report | One report per property, with copies of the plans bought for you. | Wong Lye Builders |
For owners already holding a plot, the same report works as a Rebuild Ready Check or a Plot & Potential Review.
Valuers tell you what a property is worth today. Agents help you transact. A builder and developer looks at what the land allows, what the house will need, and what it will take to get there.
Wong Lye Builders builds landed homes in Singapore. We read a property the way we would if we were redeveloping it ourselves, so you can negotiate, plan or walk away with clear eyes. That is the idea behind the name, and why it is sometimes called Site Sense by Wong Lye.
S$8,000 per engagement.
Terms. The service fee excludes government and agency plan fees (e.g. SLA, BCA) and any third-party professional fees, such as a Qualified Person (QP) or Professional Engineer (PE). The evaluation is advisory only. It is not a valuation, and not a legal or professional certification. Prices are in Singapore dollars.
