Our Story

A Legacy of Craftsmanship

How it Began

With his father as a carpenter, Mr. Lau's first memories were helping in the family business. After university, he explored other trades until a friend sought his help with a home renovation, reigniting his passion for the craft.

Our Philosophy

We tailor solutions to homeowners regardless of budget. By analyzing preferences—styles, themes, and past work—we guide clients toward a design that balances aesthetics, function, and cost.

The Breakthrough

Early on, we were tasked to create a minimalist industrial design for a large home. Despite initial resistance, the client embraced the concept. The result was stunning, reinforcing our belief in expert guidance.

Milestones

From 1950s to Present

From humble beginnings in Malaysia to becoming Singapore's trusted interior design firm.

The Foundation

Ban Yew was officially set up in Malaysia. We began with two carpenters practicing traditional fabrication, supplying custom furniture to retailers.

Singapore Expansion

We moved to Singapore and registered as Ban Yew Timber and Renovation Construction. The second generation, Mr. Lau Kwok Luen, took over in 1977, expanding operations into a 3,000 sqft facility.

Showroom Era

Rising demand for whole-home renovations led us to expand beyond carpentry. We opened showrooms on MacPherson Road, Bukit Timah Plaza, and Beauty World Centre.

Permanent Home

We moved into our own factory and office premises, which remained our headquarters for decades.

Carpenters Is Born

In December 2009 the next generation launched Carpenters Productions, combining contemporary design with decades of carpentry experience. It became Carpenters.com.sg Pte Ltd in 2012.
