My first venture into the construction industry was through a personal passion for music. While pursuing a Computer Science degree at the National University of Singapore years ago, I was also deeply invested in my hobbies — music and acoustic technology.
The latter led me to self-learn about building acoustic installations for music studios. Due to my meticulous nature, I came to understand the intricacies of every fixture in the process and I noticed several gaps in the market. I felt with my knowledge and drive for precision, I could possibly make a difference.
Eventually, I realised this was my calling and decided on the continuation of my studies at a university would be too large an opportunity cost. I took the brave step to venture into entrepreneurship, dropped out of university to found a soundproofing company and ultimately Noise Plaster in 2018.
