    [SINGAPORE] Founded as a sole proprietorship 60 years ago, OKP is positioning itself to capitalise on what its executive director Daniel Or described as an unprecedented boom in Singapore’s construction sector.

    He noted that until just recently, OKP never saw construction contracts with such high values being awarded in Singapore – an estimated S$50.5 billion in contracts were allotted in 2025.

    And in 2026, construction contracts worth S$47 billion to S$53 billion across the public and private sectors are slated to be awarded.
