Soilbuild stays grounded to core values as it expands in Singapore, overseas

ASK Lim Chap Huat, executive chairman of Soilbuild Group Holdings Ltd, what his guiding principle in business is and he will tell you: "If you want to earn money, you have to do it in an honest way and through hard work; (because) in doing business, there is no such thing as a shortcut."

Mr Lim and a few National Service mates started the company in 1976 and through this guiding principle, it has since turned into an integrated real estate company providing a full spectrum of property solutions, with a presence in Myanmar, Vietnam, Australia and the United Kingdom.

Soilbuild received the Enterprise 50 Awards in 2019, clinching the first runner-up spot; and is currently under the leadership of Lim Han Qin, who is the son of the executive chairman.
