Tiong Seng leads as Singapore’s “green contractor”

The group has an established track record in the construction of "green buildings" in Singapore, having won two contracts from HDB’s eco-projects in Punggol West.

According to DBS’ report, the contract will include the construction of electrical substations, basement car parks, rain garden, green front, external works and related civil engineering works.

Here’s more from DBS:

Tiong Seng announced that the group has been awarded the S$147m Housing Development Board contract for the construction of 804 units for "Waterway Terraces II" in Punggol West. This follows the group's first contract win of S$192m for the construction of 1,072 units (in a development known as "Punggol Terraces I" back in Apr'11). These 2 projects are part of HDB's vision of turning Punggol into an Eco-Town with Eco-friendly features.

The contract will include the construction of electrical substations, basement car parks, rain garden, green front, external works and related civil engineering works.

Our thoughts
This is another feature on the cap for Tiong Seng, which has gain traction in the development of "eco-building" niche with HDB. The group's continued focus in promoting work efficiency and productivity and its established track record in the construction of "green buildings" in Singapore, will ride on the emerging trend in the construction industry as developers focus on environmental sustainability.

The average cost/dwelling for this contract is estimated to be S$182k, which is a slight increase to the S$179k/unit that was awarded to Tiong Seng back in April. This could imply that gross margins on this project will remain relatively stable in an environment of increasing cost pressures (from raw materials, labour, etc).

While not expected to have a significant impact on the group's earnings in the current financial year, this contract will boost Tiong Seng's order book to S$1.2bn, which is well ahead of peers in the construction industry, providing the group with good earnings visibility over the next 2 years.

We maintain our BUY call and TP of S$0.31 (based on 35% discount to its SOTP).
