MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

BUSINESS REVIEW

The Group is a Singapore-based contractor specialising in structural engineering works and wet architectural works. Structural engineering works are comprising (i) reinforced concrete works which include steel reinforcement works, formwork erection and concrete works; and (ii) precast installation works. Wet architectural works are comprising (i) masonry building works; (ii) plastering and screeding works; (iii) tiling works; and (iv) waterproofing works.

The Group participates various building and infrastructure projects in both public and private sectors in Singapore. Public sector projects include the building of hospitals and MRT stations which are initiated by the Singapore Government departments, statutory bodies or Government-controlled entities. Private sector projects include the building of office buildings and data centres which are driven by property developers.

As at 31 August 2025, the Group had a total of 23 (28 February 2025: 20) projects on hand (including projects in progress) including 19 (28 February 2025: 16) structural engineering projects and 4 (28 February 2025: 4) wet architectural projects. The aggregated contract sum of the above projects is approximately S$710 million, of which approximately S$333 million has been recognised as revenue up to 31 August 2025. The remaining balance will be recognised as Group’s revenue in accordance with the respective stage of completion.

PROSPECTS

The Group’s prudent cash management approach has ensured that its cash flow position remains healthy and in a strong position to tender and secure more structural engineering and wet architecture projects. Currently, it has a strong project pipeline with 23 uncompleted projects.

Despite global uncertainties from persistent geopolitical conflicts and trade tensions, Singapore’s economy specifically its construction sector has demonstrated resilient growth. Building on this momentum, our Group is well positioned to navigate ongoing industry challenges such as manpower constraints and rising costs. Our enduring reputation built on a solid track record, wide expertise and effective management provides a strong foundation for future success.

| | For the six months
ended 31 August | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| | 2025 | 2024 |
| | S$’000 | S$’000 |
| | (Unaudited) | (Unaudited) |

The increased construction activities performed on the large scale projects mainly explained for the increase in revenue.
