MULTIFARIOUS   .  INGENUITY   .   PROGRESSIVE

Greetings from Enviro Tec’s Founder, Mr. Chew T.E.

Happy New Year to all our friends and partners! On behalf of Enviro Tec (ET), I would like to wish everyone a blessed year ahead. Stay safe, healthy and engage meaningfully with your loved and close ones.

2020 has been a very challenging year in all aspects. Economy turbulence, uncertainties worldwide. It is also a time fordisrupting standards, guidelines & zones of comfort. A time to relook at how businesses can be run in the future to attain sustainability and efficiency, while also flexibility amid uncertainties.

Throughout the year 2020, Enviro Tec is grateful for all the ET team members and clients, past and present,  who believe in ET and decided to strive on together … … project by project, month by month, through up and down times. We also adapted new systems for flexible working while keeping each other in good spirits and positive.

ET started since 1972, so that’s a whopping  48 years of contribution to the built environment. From an era of hand-drawn drawings to the current times of digital systems and construction technologies, we have indeed come far, achieved lots and garnered strong recognition for the values we bring to our clients and end users.

Times will still be challenging ahead but with strong Teamwork and support, adapting suitable digital systems, venturing into new grounds, upskilling ourselves  and shifting our mindsets, we are on an exciting track to exhilarating opportunities, in the South-east Asia region, in China and other parts of the world.

Welcome the new Start! 2021!

Off to an aspiring start in 2021, the ET team’s recent new addition to our China Hospitality portfolio is the revamp of an existing Orange Crystal Hotel in Guangzhou into new life.

Warm, dim lights also set the mood through the entire designed space (Lobby, lounge, patio, restaurant, gym, laundry and toilet). Special attention to the fabric selection of the furniture with specially designed pieces all thoughtfully curated to fit each function and spaces.

ET Family Townhall!

On the last morning of 2020, the entire ET team gathered online for an ET Family Townhall. It lasted close to 4 hours! Long, but definitely a very touching and timely gathering for all. During this session, Founder Mr. Chew and Managing Director Ming shared the achievements and learnings of 2020. Ming and Sern, founders of Enviro Tec Creatives, then shared the new setup’s directions and the exciting opportunities moving forward. We then had several initiative owners to share briefly with everyone the progress made in:

  • Team & Project Management [by Dian Lazuardi, Associate of ETI ]
  • Marketing & Systems [by Rifki Setiawan, Head of IT & Media ]
  • Standards & Projects [by Tasha Saraswati, Architect ]
  • New Learnings [by Joshua Sulistio, Junior Architect ]

We wrapped things up by having a very touching and intimate time of  “Who Are We?” where each person speaks a few minutes sharing about themselves with a few photos, their roles in ET, personal interests, and aspirations for themselves as well as for ET. It’s amazing how much new things we learn about each other. And, of course, we concluded with a reminder of our objectives for the new year 2021. And we presented a page of everyone’s gifs. Super fun to see everyone’s different expressions.

2021 brings us new opportunities, a new collaboration network in China and we will be creating new frontiers. Putting forth what we do best in Asset Enhancement, we are creating a new strategy system for design creations and forging new relationships with collaborators in procurement and design implementation.
