Competitive Strengths
1. Proven track record in the transportation infrastructure engineering market in Malaysia
The Group has established a strong foothold in the transportation
infrastructure engineering market in Malaysia since 2008. Attributed to
its experiences in undertaking large-scale transportation infrastructure
engineering projects in Malaysia, the Group is registered with the
highest contractor licence under the CIDB that allows it to undertake
civil and structural works of unlimited tender/contract value. The Group
has participated in various major transportation infrastructure
engineering projects in Malaysia. This demonstrates not only the Group's
technical capability and service quality, but also its potential to
capture future opportunities in the transportation infrastructure
engineering market in Malaysia.
2. Provide holistic value engineering solutions to customers
The Group is able to provide holistic value engineering to customers,
which take into account construction cost, timelines and environmental
impacts. Value engineering is a systematic methodology that applies
established tools and techniques to identify, analyse and optimise the
functions of a project. Through detailed analysis of project
requirements and close collaboration with its customers, the Group
ensures that the final design is both efficient and cost-effective.
3. Management team with in-depth industry experience and knowledge
The Group's management team has extensive industry experience and
expertise in the transportation infrastructure engineering industry,
especially in the provision of bridge engineering services for
large-scale transportation infrastructure engineering projects in
Malaysia. Datuk Tan, the chairman of the Board and an executive
Director, is a professional engineer in Malaysia and a chartered
professional engineer in Australia with over 36 years of experience in
the transportation infrastructure engineering industry across both
public and private sector projects in Malaysia.
4. Committed to upholding safety and eco-friendliness
The Group places emphasis on safety standard, stringent quality control
and environmental protection in the execution of its projects. Its
management systems for provision of construction and completion of its
projects were certified to be in compliance with the standard required
under ISO 9001.
5. Established stable business relationships with major customers, suppliers and subcontractors
The Group's extensive experience and technical knowledge, coupled with
its steadfast commitment to safety, quality and environmental
responsibility, have earned the confidence of its customers. The Group
has been able to maintain long-term business relationships with
reputable and large-scale construction and engineering contractors. As
at the Latest Practicable Date, its 5 largest customers in each of
FY2023 and FY2024 and 4 largest customers in 6M2025 had maintained a
business relationship with the Group for up to eight years.
BUSINESS STRATEGIES
1. Competing
for more upcoming large-scale transportation infrastructure engineering
projects and flood mitigation projects in both Peninsular Malaysia and
East Malaysia
Under the policy framework of the Twelfth Malaysia Plan between 2021 to
2025, the Malaysian government has prioritised infrastructure
improvement and inter-regional connectivity. To advance these
objectives, RM86.0 billion was allocated to key sectors such as
transportation and municipal infrastructure in 2025. The Group's
established track record coupled with its successful application of
civil engineering expertise to flood mitigation projects position the
Group favourably to bid for future large-scale projects in both
Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia.
2. Further strengthening manpower and enhancing project management capability
Bridge engineering works within transportation infrastructure projects
typically span 1 to 5 years. The Group is required to deploy a full
project management team for each project. To ensure the effective
execution of any newly awarded projects without compromising the
progress, quality, or safety standards of ongoing works, additional
recruitment would be necessary to strengthen the Group's project
supervision and site management capabilities.
3. Expansion of workforce to support growth across all regions
The Group plans to expand its headquarters workforce in Peninsular
Malaysia to strengthen its central operational capabilities. The
expansion in workforce at headquarters will create a robust foundation
that not only supports the Group's current project commitments but also
positions it to capitalise on future growth opportunities.
4. Upgrade and digitise the Group's information systems and internal processes
At present, the Group does not have an integrated IT system in
place and instead relies on individual software tools for specific
functions such as budgeting, scheduling, and documentation. The Group
intends to acquire a range of software, IT infrastructure upgrades, and
process enhancements to establish a streamlined and integrated
procurement management system.
