Our ESG Commitment
Our ESG Commitment
At Ho Lee Group, sustainability is a core value that guides our actions and decisions. As a leader in the construction industry, we are committed to advancing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles to shape a sustainable future. From championing green construction practices to driving digital transformation and empowering our people, our ESG initiatives reflect our dedication to building a better tomorrow.
Our Vision for the Future
Guided by Singapore’s Green Plan 2030, Ho Lee Group is committed to advancing sustainability and digital innovation in all aspects of our business. Our future goals include:
Expanding renewable energy initiatives and exploring innovative green technologies.
Continuing to lead the industry in digital transformation through IDD and BIM.
Achieving higher recycling rates for construction and demolition waste.
We invite our clients, partners, and stakeholders to join us in building a greener and more sustainable future. Together, we can create a lasting impact for generations to come.
Environmental Initiatives
Sustainability is ingrained in how we operate. As GGBS Star Builders, Ho Lee Construction and Wee Poh Construction Co. is at the forefront of implementing environmentally responsible practices:
Harnessing Solar Energy
In collaboration with Engie, we have installed solar panels on the rooftops of Ho Lee Construction House, significantly reducing our carbon footprint. This initiative underscores our commitment to renewable energy and aligns with Singapore’s sustainability goals. Engie’s expertise has been instrumental in planning, installation, and commissioning, making this project a shining example of innovation and collaboration.
Integrated Digital Delivery (IDD)
By embracing Integrated Digital Delivery (IDD) and Virtual Design and Construction (VDC), we revolutionize the construction process, enhancing resource efficiency and reducing environmental impact. With Building Information Modelling (BIM) as a cornerstone, we integrate the entire building process into a Master Schedule in virtual reality, enabling precise planning, collaboration, and waste minimization.
Sustainable Materials
We prioritize eco-friendly materials such as recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and geopolymer concrete, contributing to a circular economy and reducing the environmental footprint of our projects.
Waste Management and Efficiency
Through digital material tracking, advanced precast technologies, and sustainable construction methods like Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA), we minimize construction waste while streamlining processes.
Social Impact
Our people and community are at the heart of everything we do. Through various initiatives led by our Social & Recreational Committee, we create a positive and inclusive work environment:
Employee Well-being
We organize team-building activities, sports competitions, and recreational events to foster a strong sense of camaraderie and improve overall well-being.
Skill Development and Growth
We invest in training and development programs, empowering our workforce to reach their full potential and drive excellence in their roles.
Community Engagement
Ho Lee Group actively contributes to the community through volunteering programs, charitable donations, and impactful social projects. Our goal is to make a difference beyond the workplace.
Governance Excellence
We believe that strong governance is the foundation of sustainable growth. Our commitment to ethical, transparent, and accountable practices is reflected in:
Regulatory Compliance
Adhering to the highest standards of industry regulations and sustainability frameworks.
Integration of ESG Principles
Embedding ESG considerations into our decision-making processes to align with long-term objectives.
Culture of Integrity
Fostering trust and confidence among stakeholders through transparent communication and responsible business practices.
Our IDD Journey
Ho Lee Group embarked on its IDD and BIM journey in 2012 with the Heron Bay EC project. Since then, we have made significant strides in digital transformation:
Digital Construction
We utilize BIM for advanced applications such as clash detection, construction sequencing, and facility management. By leveraging digital tools, we optimize resource efficiency and reduce project timelines.
Advanced Construction Technologies
We incorporate Prefabricated Pre-finished Volumetric Construction (PPVC), Prefabricated Bathroom Units (PBU), Modular Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) systems, to streamline construction processes, minimize waste, and enhance sustainability.
Commitment to Excellence
By aligning with Singapore’s Built Environment Industry Transformation Map (ITM), we integrate work processes, connect stakeholders, and continuously invest in emerging technologies to stay ahead of the curve.
At Ho Lee Group, we are at the forefront of the construction industry’s digital transformation, spearheading the adoption of Integrated Digital Delivery (IDD) to revolutionize project delivery and drive construction excellence.
With IDD & VDC (Virtual Design and Construction), we leverage BIM (Building Information Modelling) as a key component, enabling the full integration of the entire building process into a Master Schedule in virtual reality form. This approach transcends traditional 2-dimensional drawings, empowering us to conduct critical reviews of building elements and information collectively. By embracing IDD, we can harness the power of digital innovation to transform the way we plan, design, and construct projects.
Ho Lee Group embarked on the BIM journey in 2012, starting with the Heron Bay EC project. Since then, we have made significant investments in training, developing, and upgrading our BIM-VDC team. Our goal is to tackle even more challenging projects and utilize VDC extensively in all aspects of construction works. Over the years, we have successfully implemented BIM across a range of use cases, demonstrating our commitment to pushing the boundaries of digital construction.
In alignment with the Government’s Built Environment Industry Transformation Map (ITM), we have embraced digital technologies to integrate work processes and connect stakeholders across all our projects. We recognize that the construction landscape is evolving rapidly, and by embracing IDD, we can enhance collaboration, optimize efficiency, and drive construction excellence. With the advent of highly productive technologies such as Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA), advanced precast technology, Prefabricated Pre-finished Volumetric Construction (PPVC), Prefab Bathroom Unit (PBU), Modular MEP, Cross Laminated Timber (CLT), and more, we must embrace innovative solutions that streamline construction processes and drive efficiency.
As a forward-thinking organization, we continue to invest in emerging technologies to leverage digital technologies to integrate work processes and connect stakeholders on all our projects. We understand the significance of embracing change and staying ahead of the curve. Our dedication to digital innovation empowers us to deliver exceptional results, improve project outcomes, and exceed client expectations.
