Ley Choon

What Ley Choon does

Ley Choon Group Holdings Limited is a Singapore-based, publicly-listed infrastructure construction group (SGX Catalist, with a Mainboard transfer application pending as of January 2026) that operates as a one-stop provider of underground utilities infrastructure construction, road and airfield pavement works, and in-house construction materials supply. Founded in 1990 (group restructuring referenced under UEM No. 198700318G) and headquartered at No. 3 Sungei Kadut Drive, Singapore, the company holds the Building and Construction Authority's L6 registration (highest grade, unlimited contract value) for cable/pipe-laying, road reinstatement and asphalt works, as well as A1 registration (highest grade) for civil engineering — enabling it to bid for Singapore public-sector tenders of any size.

The group's technical core comprises a large-scale asphalt plant (one of the few in Singapore) with a production capacity of up to 400 tonnes per hour, featuring a built-in recycling capability for construction and demolition waste, plus in-house production of recycled aggregates, ready-mix concrete, and cement bricks. Service lines span laying and repair of water, NEWater, high-pressure gas, high-voltage power, fibre-optic, and sewer pipelines; supply and laying of graded stone, cement-treated base, and asphalt premix for roads and airfields; and a BCA Approved Training and Testing Centre delivering heavy-machinery and road-maintenance certification courses. Operational technology is supported by an ERP system and a mobile CCTV site-monitoring platform.

The business model is project-based, revenue earned through competitive tendering for Singapore government agencies (PUB, LTA, Changi Airport Group) and established private clients such as SP Group, with selective overseas project work (Sri Lanka, China) executed via multilateral funding channels such as the Asian Development Bank. The group employs roughly 1,000 people, reported FY2025 net profit of S$14.5 million (+32.8% YoY), and saw its share price rise 73.3% over 2025, with a 20.5% intraday surge on 5 January 2026 following the Mainboard listing application announcement.

Direct peers

• Lum Chang Holdings: Singapore Mainboard-listed construction and civil engineering company with A1/A2 BCA grades. Competes head-to-head with Ley Choon on civil engineering and infrastructure tenders for both government and private developers.
• Tiong Seng Holdings: Singapore-listed civil engineering and building contractor with BCA A1-grade status, active in infrastructure, road, and tunnel works. Directly comparable as a same-country L6/A1-grade peer competing for the same PUB, LTA and CAG public tenders.
• OKP Holdings: Singapore Catalist-listed infrastructure and civil engineering firm specializing in road construction, earthworks, utilities and maintenance. Closely mirrors Ley Choon's combination of road works, pipe-laying and government agency customer base.
• Hiap Hoe Limited: Singapore-listed building and civil engineering contractor with BCA-graded construction operations including road and infrastructure works. Comparable as a mid-sized local contractor tendering for similar public-sector civil projects.
• Swee Hong Holdings: Singapore infrastructure contractor focused on roads, expressways, MRT and sewer works; holds BCA L6 and other relevant grades. Direct overlap with Ley Choon on underground utilities and road pavement construction projects.

Emerging players

• Sterling Infrastructure: US infrastructure construction company with segments in transportation, water and specialty infrastructure. Closely comparable mix of road, underground utilities, and infrastructure maintenance that mirrors Ley Choon's diversified civil engineering model.
• Granite Construction Incorporated: US heavy civil contractor focused on roads, airports, utilities and rail. Comparable business model (public-tender driven infrastructure construction) but at much larger scale; useful benchmark for utility-heavy civil engineering economics.
• TEE International: Singapore-listed engineering and infrastructure group active in cable/pipe laying and electrical infrastructure. Smaller-scale but directly comparable specialty in underground utility and cable installation work.

Broad incumbents

• CSCEC (China State Construction Engineering Corp): World's largest construction company by revenue, with growing Singapore operations through infrastructure and building works. Represents the incumbent Chinese EPC competition that can pressure margins on the largest Singapore tenders.
• China Communications Construction (Singapore): Subsidiary of one of the world's largest state-owned infrastructure groups, active in Singapore on major rail, port, and tunneling contracts. Competes with Ley Choon on large BCA-grade tenders and brings significantly greater capital and scale.
