The growth of Singapore from the early 70s to the early 80s was the expansion of Ho Lee’s business from a single entity dealing with general plumbing works to one that carries out various construction-related businesses from general building construction, specialised metal works, infrastructure construction and sales and leasing of construction machinery and equipment.

These various companies were grouped together in 1986 and saw the incorporation of Ho Lee Group (HLG). The grouping allows all these companies to adopt a similar corporate culture which focuses on an open communication and the sharing of ideas. This, in turn, encourages corporation and collaboration between colleagues and businesses partners to derived workable construction solutions for customers and improving the construction industry. By industry it also promotes further diversification into other new business areas that the individual customer has never ventured into previously.
