The history of Chip Eng Seng Group goes all the way back to the 1960s, when its founder, Mr Lim Tiam Seng started the business as a building subcontractor for conventional landed properties. With competitive pricing and quality work, the business grew and the company began taking on the role of a main contractor. In 1982, the company won its first Singapore Housing and Development Board (HDB) project as a main contractor. With that, the company continued to establish its position in HDB public housing construction. Over the years, it grew from strength to strength and diversified into the construction of private condominium and executive condominium projects, as well as engaged in precast fabrication. Leveraging on its accumulated experience and know-how, the Group scaled up the property value chain to undertake property development and investment in the 1990s. Today, its property development and investment portfolio spans shophouses, residential, commercial, industrial and mixed-use development projects. To further diversify its business, the Group made its foray into the hospitality industry in 2015 and the education sector in 2018. In 2019, the Group started its civil infrastructure business with acquisition of an established design and build construction service provider to augment its construction business. Currently, the Group has business presence in Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Australia, New Zealand and the Maldives.
