Contract Builders was an easy standout during our selection for its good reputation, which clients we interviewed supported with their accounts of working with the company.

Most of the clients emphasized the company’s customer-first service standard. 

They commended the contractor’s fast response rate, systematic workflow, and timeliness in completing projects.

One client who needed to renovate his cafe to attract younger customers sought Contract Builders’ design and build services. 

He said he was impressed by the detailed, no-hidden-charge quotation the company provided within days of their initial meeting. 

He also loved the energy and creativity of the team and believed that their ideas helped his shop acquire a new lease on life (his young customers did increase).

Some homeowners, meanwhile, loved that the company also offers carpentry services. 

These clients had the contractor build cabinets and bed frames for them and were happy with the timely completion and high quality of the pieces.

That said, know that Contract Builders is focused on interior design-and-build projects. Clients planning to build their homes or stores from scratch are better off looking elsewhere.

Also, you might want to reconsider hiring them if you already have a preferred designer.

That said, you can still experience the contractor’s stellar customer service through their wall, ceiling, and painting works.

Prime Structures Engineering cemented itself as a premier building contractor in Singapore when it successfully completed the envelopes for Marina Bay Sands and Changi Airport Terminal 3.

A few business owners we interviewed mentioned the iconic projects as the reason why they hired the company for their building’s curtain walls. 

These clients delightfully shared that the company lived up to its reputation. They claimed that the project went smoothly from design to construction to completion.

Apart from the contractor’s outstanding work ethic, one of the business owners said he loved the sustainable design of the curtain walls. 

He shared that the team made it so the facade allows ample light and maximizes heat efficiency inside the building, helping save on energy and hence being environment-friendly.

For us, that’s a big plus, as we also like companies that put effort into reducing their environmental impact.

That said, this contractor is only ideal for commercial projects, removing homeowners as potential clients. 

Also, we suggest only hiring Prime Structures if you are prepared to spend a lot. The curtain walls the company manufactures can be quite pricey due to their design and installation complexity.

Thanks to its wide range of services, we believe that Teambuild Construction Group is the ideal choice if you’re looking for true one-stop convenience.

The company offers design and build services, electrical services, plumbing services, and many more. 

This multidisciplinary quality, according to the clients we interviewed, saved them the hassle of looking for other contractors to complete their projects.

Meanwhile, a few clients praised Teambuild’s Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC) mode.

They said they preferred the building technique for its faster turnaround. They explained that delays due to bad weather and human error were minimized since the modules were manufactured in a factory.

However, one thing to consider if you wish to hire Teambuild is that the company has many clients and is often busy. You risk experiencing a slow response rate if you contact them.

Also, you won’t be able to choose the professionals that will handle your project since that will depend on who is available from the company’s pool. 

If you are looking for a home renovation contractor but you’re on a budget, we think you might like Empire Works’ range of services.

Many of the clients we interviewed gladly mentioned the company, saying they loved being spoilt for renovation options. 

Some of the homeowners opted for the priciest full hack and tilling reno, while others picked more affordable packages to better suit their needs and budget. 

The wide range of packages wasn’t the only highlight of hiring the company. Clients shared that the Empire Works team was honest with them during the consultation; they didn’t try to hard sell or upsell the services.

The team also provided recommendations on what package was best for the clients, regardless of the price.

Homeowners also shared that they were saved the trouble of looking for quality supplies, as the company is partnered with reputable suppliers for paints, fixtures, and other materials.

That said, this contractor is best for already-built houses. It doesn’t have the supplies and manpower to construct a new residential or commercial building.

Also, know that Empire Works’ office is closed during weekends, which might be a hassle for busy people who only have that period to transact with the company.

TK Contractors’ focus on flawless and meticulous execution is a big factor in why many clients we interviewed loved working with the company.

Owners of homes and retail spaces particularly liked that the contractor didn’t hire subcontractors to perform constructions and installations. TK had a man for the job, whether it be hacking, electrical works, painting, or plumbing.

Clients added that the company using in-house professionals helped reduce project progress delays.

One homeowner shared that the renovation team was able to transform his living space within only a month, thanks to the company’s systematic labor division and hands-on project manager.

That said, the client said that miscommunication occurred throughout the project but clarified that the company was quick to handle and rectify issues.

Know that the company doesn’t offer design services, though. That means you’ll need to find a designer first to draw your renovation plan, especially if your space planning goals are complex.

We heard that a few clients created a plan for simple room transformations themselves, too. This might work as an alternative, as TK can guide you by giving suggestions and tips to improve your plan, but it might be a hassle if you are busy.
