Fuyio Home Opening @ 19.07.09

My wife and I was invited to the opening of Fuyio Home recently. The owner is Henry Ling, the contractor who built our house.

From hearsay, i understand that Henry starts from the bottom, starting out as a plumber, than venture into carpentry, then into renovation, later into construction from the early 90s and now being the sole distributor of construction materials. A very busy man he is, his day always starts at 4 in the morning and finishes by 11 at night at worst.

I manage to speak to one of his suppliers, the Fujioh representative from Singapore, who said that he was taken aback by Henry's energy, driving from locations to locations in KB and Bandar, that it left them (reps from Fujioh n Golden Clay) exhausted. Yet Henry still plough on and on hahahah. I have seen him work!

And despite busy entertaining the crowd, Henry shared with me that the suppliers were previously pessimistic about Brunei market, but changed their mind when they saw the houses in Brunei with their own eyes. They see the potential, take the roof for example... in Brunei majority of the people still built individual house, so the demand for rood is still there. If you build 10 units apartment, the roof requirement is still only equivalent to 2 or 3 houses.

Anyway, you can visit Fuyioh at Menglait, Muhibbah complex if I am not mistaken, behind Le Apple bakery. If you are not familiar, it is not far from the road behind the Menglait Sports Complex (near the filling station).

Enjoy the pics below, but for more, please go to my Facebook.
