Who Larry Contractors Is — And How We Fit Together

Larry Contractors Pte Ltd is our sister brand under the Wong Lye Pte Ltd umbrella. While we design, fabricate and install industrial racking systems — selective, drive-in, cantilever, mezzanine floors — for warehouses, factories and 3PL operators across Singapore, Larry Contractors holds the HDB licence to carry out renovation works in HDB flats.

Same parent company. Same commitment to doing the work right. Different licences, different scope.

If you need warehouse racking, mezzanine submission coordination, outdoor shelter steelwork or heavy-duty storage — you're in the right place. If you're looking to renovate an HDB flat, you want contractors.com.sg, where Larry Contractors operates.

We're writing this article because we get calls and emails meant for our renovation side fairly often, and we'd rather point you to the right team from the start than waste your time.

Why We Have Two Separate Brands

It comes down to licensing and specialisation. In Singapore, HDB renovation work requires an HDB-licensed contractor. Industrial racking, mezzanine fabrication and warehouse structural works don't fall under that licence — they require BCA coordination, PE endorsement for certain load cases, PSB testing for racking components, and fabrication capability for cold-rolled steel profiles.

We started Wong Lye in 2011 as a logistics business. In 2014, we couldn't find a racking contractor we trusted, so we built our own warehouse racks in-house. Clients saw the work and asked us to do theirs. Over 1,500 commercial and industrial projects later, racking became its own division.

Larry Contractors grew out of a parallel need: residential and HDB renovation clients who wanted the same no-nonsense, upfront approach we bring to warehouse work. Rather than try to do everything under one brand, we separated the scopes cleanly:

• Wong Lye Racking (rackings.com.sg, this site) — industrial storage, mezzanines, warehouse layout, BCA / SCDF submissions for commercial / industrial use
• Larry Contractors (contractors.com.sg) — HDB flat renovation, carpentry, wet works, painting, flooring
• Wong Lye BCA General Builder Class 2 (wonglye.com) — heavy building works for landed homes, structural alteration and addition

If you're unsure which you need, a quick rule: If it's in a warehouse, factory or industrial unit, call us. If it's in an HDB flat, go to Larry Contractors. If it's a landed property structural build, go to wonglye.com.

When Clients Mix Us Up — And How We Handle It

We've had warehouse operators email us asking about kitchen hacking. We've had HDB flat owners ask for cantilever racking quotes (occasionally for a legitimate home workshop, but usually a case of wrong inbox). And we've had 3PL managers ask if we can redo their office pantry while we're installing a 12-metre-high VNA system.

Here's how we handle it:

If the enquiry is clearly HDB renovation — flat number mentioned, kitchen / bedroom / toilet scope — we forward it internally to the Larry Contractors team and let you know. You'll hear from them within 24 hours, usually faster.

If it's a hybrid case — say, a small business operating out of an industrial unit that needs both racking and office partitioning — we coordinate internally and give you one coherent quotation. You're not passed around; we just make sure the right licensed tradesman signs off on the right part.

If it's landed property structural work — A&A, extensions, rebuilds — we refer you to our General Builder arm at wonglye.com, which holds the BCA General Builder Class 2 licence.

We don't see it as "losing a lead." We see it as making sure you talk to someone who's licensed and experienced in exactly what you need, from day one.

What We Do on the Racking Side (Just So It's Clear)

Since you're already here, here's a snapshot of what we actually handle under the Wong Lye Racking brand:

• Selective pallet racking — the most common type, one pallet facing per beam level, full SKU access
• Double-deep and drive-in racking — higher density, lower selectivity, suited to fewer SKUs or FIFO-tolerant inventory
• Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) and narrow-aisle layouts — guided forklifts, taller racks, maximised cube utilisation
• Cantilever racking — for long goods like steel bar, timber, piping, aluminium profiles
• Heavy-duty and super heavy-duty racking — beams rated beyond standard 2,000 kg UDL, with thicker steel and imported heavy-section uprights when required
• Mezzanine floors — steel platform systems for picking areas, offices-over-warehouse, or multi-level storage, with BCA / SCDF submission coordination
• Outdoor shelters and structures — steel-framed weather protection for loading bays, equipment yards, or covered walkways
• Rack inspection and remedial works — post-impact surveys, upright replacements, beam re-levelling, anchor repair

All fabricated in-house in Singapore using cold-roll forming for uprights, beam profiles and accessories. Heavy-section profiles for super heavy-duty tiers are imported, but everything is PSB-tested and mill certificates are available on request. We don't dropship catalogue racks. If we quote it, we've made it or we've chosen the steel ourselves.

How to Reach the Right Team

If you're looking for warehouse racking, mezzanine design, or industrial steelwork, you're already in the right place. WhatsApp us at +65 9107 2601, email through our contact form here on rackings.com.sg, or call our office.

If you're looking for HDB flat renovation — hacking, tiling, carpentry, waterproofing, painting — head to contractors.com.sg and reach out to the Larry Contractors team there. They'll ask for your flat layout, scope and timeline, and give you a fixed-price quote with no hidden line items.

If you're planning structural works on a landed property — extensions, A&A, rebuilds that need PE submission and a General Builder — visit wonglye.com and speak to our building works team.

We're one company with three licence-appropriate brands. You're not bouncing between vendors — you're just talking to the right specialist from the start.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Larry Contractors the same company as Wong Lye Racking?

Yes and no. Larry Contractors is a sister brand under Wong Lye Pte Ltd (UEN 201404127Z), the same parent company that runs our racking division. We're the same legal entity, but we operate under different trade names and licences depending on scope. Larry Contractors handles HDB renovation works, while we handle industrial racking and warehouse structures.

Can Larry Contractors install racking in my HDB flat or industrial unit?

If it's light-duty home shelving or a small workshop in an HDB flat, Larry Contractors can coordinate that as part of a renovation package. If it's a true industrial unit with forklifts, pallet loads and multi-tier racking, that falls under our racking division and we'll handle it directly. Just tell us the unit type and use case, and we'll route it correctly.

Do you share the same fabrication facility?

Our racking components — uprights, beams, beam end-plates, bracing, base plates — are fabricated in-house in Singapore at our workshop. Larry Contractors' renovation scope (carpentry, wet works, finishes) uses different suppliers and tradesmen, but both teams coordinate from the same parent company. If a project overlaps — say, a small factory with both racking and an office fit-out — we coordinate it internally so you get one quote and one install schedule.

Which website should I visit if I'm not sure?

If it involves forklifts, pallets, mezzanines or warehouse layouts, you want rackings.com.sg (this site). If it's an HDB flat renovation, go to contractors.com.sg. If it's a landed property structural build, go to wonglye.com. And if you're still not sure, just WhatsApp us at +65 9107 2601 — we'll point you to the right team in under a minute.

Do all three brands offer the same "no hidden cost" quoting style?

Yes. Whether it's a rack quote from us, a renovation quote from Larry Contractors, or a landed build from Wong Lye General Builder, the philosophy is the same: measure on-site, quote with a proper breakdown, include everything that's realistically required, and don't surprise you halfway through. That approach is company-wide, not brand-specific.

Final Word

Larry Contractors Pte Ltd is our HDB renovation sister brand. Same parent company, different scope. If you're here for industrial racking, mezzanines or warehouse steelwork, you're in the right place — and we're ready to help. If you need HDB renovation, head to contractors.com.sg and the Larry team will take it from there.
