What Santarli Construction does

Santarli Construction Pte Ltd is a Singapore-based, privately held construction and civil engineering company founded in 1983 and operating as a core subsidiary of Santarli Holdings. The company delivers an integrated portfolio spanning building construction, civil engineering and infrastructure, land reclamation and marine works, property development, and prefabricated construction (PPVC/DfMA via its Excel Precast subsidiary), supported by in-house precast factories in Singapore and Malaysia and an owned fleet of specialized marine vessels (grab dredgers, tug boats, flat top barges, conveyors, self-propelled landing craft, and self-propelled hoppers).

Its revenue is generated primarily through project-based contracts secured via competitive government tenders (Singapore LTA, HDB, JTC, PSA, DSTA, MOM and statutory boards) and direct engagement with private developers and property consortia. Notable execution scale includes the S$1.06 billion Aviation Park Reclamation project (482 hectares reclaimed, 80,000+ trucks/month handled), the S$504.5 million Dairy Farm Walk residential development led through a 2025 consortium win, and a diversified pipeline of commercial, institutional, and residential projects across Singapore, with subsidiary operations in Malaysia, Thailand, and Bangladesh supporting labor training and precast manufacturing.

Santarli differentiates through proprietary construction methods (the Direct Discharge Platform for marine material handling and Lego-style PPVC prefabrication yielding 25-40% manpower savings), an A1-grade contractor classification with bizSAFE STAR and ISO certifications, and repeat-customer relationships with major Singapore government agencies and private developers built across four decades.
