Laying the Foundations to Dream Even BiggerWriter: Emily JarvisProject Manager: James MitchellLian Beng Ltd remains cautiously optimistic of its core construction business, which promises to provide a sustainable flow of construction activities through to the end of 2017 via an impressive order book of S$821 million, as at November 2014. As one of Singapore’s major indigenous building construction Groups, Lian Beng is one of the few which has integrated its civil engineering and construction support service capabilities in order to offer an all-encompassing solution.The construction arm of the business has come a long way since opening its doors in 1973.
