    BUILDO Engineering has built a name for itself with lighter, greener construction materials that keep buildings cool.

    Mike Wong, its managing director, said: “For us, sustainability is an everyday effort, and these materials are opportunities for a greener environment.”

    Eleven years ago, Victor Thng – Buildo’s current operations director – approached Wong with the idea of starting a business supplying building panels. Wong had no experience in construction, but knew that the market was fiercely competitive – thus, he had to come up with something innovative.
