LAI RENOVATION & CONSTRUCTION
LAI Renovation & Construction is a direct contractor covering demolition, hacking, masonry and cementing, metal welding, disposal, and painting, positioning itself as a one-stop shop for residential and commercial renovation work in Singapore. Their masonry and cementing service builds walls with tiles and brick and lays cement screed for a smooth foundation, which is the backbone of most HDB and condo reno jobs. Founded in 2011, the company works directly with clients rather than through a middleman.
What people praise
- Reviewers single out the responsiveness of the team lead, with photo and video updates during the job
- Praised for handling last-minute requests and design changes without pushback
- Willing to take on smaller jobs, like refurbishing dry kitchen cabinets, not just full renovations
Worth knowing
- One detailed review describes serious defects across electrical, plumbing and tiling work on a full renovation, so get everything in the contract before you sign
- As a multi-trade contractor, you're relying on their subcontractor network for specialist work like electrical and window fitting
Our take: The volume and consistency of the praise put this at the top of the list, but the one detailed negative review is worth reading in full before a big-ticket job. For smaller, contained masonry work the track record looks very solid.
