Soilbuild stays grounded to core values as it expands in Singapore, overseas
The integrated Singapore developer is a trailblazer in sustainability in the industrial sector
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.
