SELANGOR: Construction and property development solutions provider MGB Bhd, a subsidiary of LBS Bina Group Bhd (LBS), recently held a roof-topping ceremony marking the completion of the building structure phase of its Idaman Melur project, located in Cybersouth, Dengkil.
The ceremony was officiated by MBS group executive chairman Tan Sri Lim Hock San on May 24, 2024. Present alongside Hock San at the ceremony were MBG executive director and chief executive officer (CEO) Datuk Richard Lim and deputy CEOs Isaac Lim, Daniel Chew and Victor Wong.
The building structure was completed approximately one month ahead of schedule, primarily made possible through the innovative use of MGB’s in-house industrialised building system (IBS) pre-cast concrete technology. MGB utilises IBS pre-cast concrete for its construction projects to maintain efficiency and consistency.
As a result to date, the company’s construction time was cut by 33% and manual labour by 31%. MGB’s IBS factories can produce IBS pre-cast concrete panels for up to 6,000 units of residential properties annually.
Using its IBS pre-cast concrete technology, MGB is set to deliver 7,210 units of affordable homes under the Rumah Selangorku Idaman MBI initiative for qualified Malaysians residing within the state of Selangor, supporting the state government’s goal of constructing 30,000 affordable homes by 2025.
Another affordable home project by MGB is Idaman BSP @ Bandar Saujana Putra, which is scheduled for the third quarter of this year. Both Idaman BSP and Idaman Melur respectively form two of the six Rumah Selangorku Idaman MBI projects that are being developed by MGB.
“The roof topping of a building symbolises the culmination of hard work and the hope for a bright future. As we affix this final beam in place, let it serve as a testament to our dedication to quality craftsmanship. Let us not forget the communities that will benefit from this project, the families who will call it home and the neighbourhoods that will flourish around it,” said Hock San during the topping-out ceremony.
“With a focus on showcasing our expertise in IBS pre-cast concrete installations, MGB is well-positioned for continued growth both domestically and internationally. Our purchase orders received from Sany Alameriah for the supply and installation of pre-cast elements for 400 units in the ROSHN Alarous development in Jeddah are on schedule, with the pre-cast concrete elements already being supplied and installed on-site progressively. We remain focused on delivering the best products and services for our customers,” he added.
