Founded in 2013, LHW Construction Pte Ltd has steadily built a reputation for excellence in the construction industry. From its humble beginnings as a general contractor to becoming a key player in facilities maintenance and repair, the company’s growth has been fuelled by its dedicated leadership, commitment to quality, and an unwavering focus on teamwork. Under the guidance of its Directors, Mr Leu Mr How and Mr Wong (forming the name LHW), LHW Construction has not only navigated industry challenges but has also positioned itself for future expansion and success.
LHW Construction’s journey began with a vision for independence and growth. Before launching creating this company, the trio had extensive industry experience, including working as a consultant. However, he soon realized that working for others did not provide the level of fulfilment he sought. His desire for freedom and fair returns on his hard work drove him to establish his own firm.
By 2018, LHW Construction had evolved from a subcontractor to a main contractor, thanks in part to the support and mentorship of Mr Raymond Ng. His strong work ethic and commitment to excellence helped secure the company’s first major contract. However, the path to success was not without its hurdles.
Every successful company has had to weather storms, and LHW Construction is no exception. The COVID-19 pandemic posed one of the most significant challenges for the company. With labour shortages, financial constraints, and the need for drastic pay cuts, the company faced an uphill battle. However, LHW and their team showed remarkable resilience, taking necessary financial risks such as loans, which were later repaid.
The secret to their survival? An exceptional team. Their strong project management skills and willingness to adapt to sudden government regulations kept the company afloat. Through sacrifice and perseverance, LHW Construction emerged from the pandemic stronger and more prepared for future challenges.
LHW Construction’s core business focus is on facilities maintenance, repair, and decoration. The company has ambitious plans to become the best in the industry, emphasizing collaboration with soft service providers such as cleaning services, landscaping and pest control.
Looking ahead, LHW Construction is committed to continuous upskilling and certification for its workforce. By investing in training and new technologies, the company ensures it stays ahead in an evolving market.
Though currently operating solely within Singapore, LHW Construction has ambitions to expand internationally in the future. With a strong track record and a dedicated team, this goal seems well within reach.
Beyond business growth, LHW Construction believes in giving back to the community. The company is involved in philanthropic efforts, making annual donations to the elderly at Kim Tian. This commitment to social responsibility reflects the company’s values and desire to make a positive impact beyond the construction sector.
When asked about the secret behind LHW Construction’s achievements, the trio credits their team. They believe that the company’s strong sense of unity and shared growth has been fundamental to its success. From securing its first government project at Serangoon Garden Market to winning contracts with organizations like the National Environment Agency (NEA), every milestone has been a team effort.
Success, according to them, is not about individual accomplishments but the strength of the people around. Their leadership philosophy is centred on open communication and a family-like work culture, ensuring that every employee feels valued and motivated.
LHW Construction differentiates itself from competitors through hard work and an outstanding team. The company also focuses on innovation, continuously exploring new technologies and software to improve efficiency. Maintaining client relationships is another priority. By ensuring quality work and open communication, LHW Construction has built long-term trust with its clients, setting itself apart in the industry.
As LHW Construction looks to the future, it remains focused on delivering quality, growing its team, and expanding its reach. With a clear vision, strong leadership, and a team-driven approach, the company is well-positioned to become a leader in facilities maintenance and beyond.
For the three of them, success is a journey, not a destination. With a mindset of continuous improvement and innovation, LHW Construction is not just building structures—it’s building a legacy.
