Construction companies in Singapore continue to play an important role in boosting the country’s growing infrastructure needs, with strong demand expected to persist into 2025. According to Blackridge Research’s Global construction database, the preliminary total construction demand for 2024 reached S$44.2 billion (approx. USD 34.4 billion) in nominal terms, exceeding BCA's (Building and Construction Authority) mid-year revised forecast of between S$35 billion to S$41 billion (approx USD 27.2 billion to USD 31.9 billion).

Looking ahead, between 2026 and 2029, it is forecasted that the total construction demand is likely to reach an average of between S$39 billion and S$46 billion per year. This growth is likely driven by transportation infrastructure, commercial, and public housing projects. Below is the list of top construction companies in Singapore.

Conclusion

Singapore’s construction sector may be dominated by thousands of small firms; however, industry leaders like ST Engineering, Surbana Jurong, Koh Brothers Group, and STECS continue to drive national progress. These companies propose designing smarter cities, delivering sustainable infrastructure, and pushing engineering limits.

Looking ahead, medium-term construction demand is projected to be robust, and the schedules & phasing of projects are subject to change, particularly due to potential unforeseen risks arising from an uncertain global economic climate. Singapore's construction industry is yet to witness trends driven by general contractors, building contractors, complex projects, innovation and construction management. If current trends continue, in the next decade we can witness construction in Singapore become not just faster and safer, but also sustainability driven building works worthy of the city it serves.
