PNCorporation, which provides landscape construction under PNC Design and landscape production under PNCrafts, is moving forward to provide one-stop solutions for landscaping needs with reasonable and affordable pricing without compromising quality to fulfil clients' and consultants’ expectations.

The company has served a clientele of over 20 developers, including public-listed companies, in the past four years.

Landscape construction is a challenging endeavour because there are new problems and site issues that can’t be identified from drawings during site implementation.

Among the challenges posed by unique designs and specific requirements of soft and hard landscape construction include some materials that may only be sourced overseas, shortages in plant materials, or bad weather as most works outdoors take place.

However, successful construction of such landscapes creates conducive living environments.

For example, the landscape design of Urban360 at Sri Gombak places multi-activity spaces on a single floor, with the ingenious allocation of several split levels, which seamlessly connect at different corners of the property.

Being either an active space or passive zone, the design was successfully created for users in different age groups. Most of the landscape elements were tailored, made to achieve the end result, such as floor materials, pool finishing, water feature cladding and roof garden features.

In addition to being soft and hard landscape builders, PNCorporation differentiates themselves by specialising in glass fibre reinforced concrete (GFRC), exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS), water features and swimming pool systems.
