SETIA ALAM: Setia Precast Sdn Bhd, a wholly owned subsidiary of S P Setia Berhad, Malaysia’s leading property developer was awarded the prestigious Industrialised Building System (IBS) Special Award category for its construction of Seri Jati affordable apartment in Setia Alam, at the Malaysia Construction Industry Excellence Award (MCIEA) 2016 organised by the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB). The ceremony was held at the Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur last night.
Present at the ceremony to receive the award was Kow Choong Ming, Executive Vice President of S P Setia Berhad who accepted the honour from Dato' Sri Zohari bin Haji Akob, Secretary General of the Ministry of Works, Malaysia.
“We are greatly honoured to be receiving this award as the MCIEA is the most credible and respectable award in the construction industry. For us to win in this IBS category for our affordable apartment project speaks volume of our commitment towards excellence in delivering quality products” said Kow.
Team Setia and its consultants at the Malaysia Construction Industry Excellence Award (MCIEA) 2016 organised by the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB).
The IBS award is presented to those who deliver quality workmanship with high IBS score, innovative construction management with minimisation of construction wastage, cleanliness and high safety level, efficient usage of materials and labour and completion within schedule.
S P Setia’s affordable apartments in Setia Alam as well as Setia EcoHill are constructed using the precast construction system as we can ensure consistent quality on completion with lesser defects thus reduces rectification costs and inconveniences. Besides, this system also uses less labour as most of the structural components can be prefabricated off site.
Other affordable apartments in Setia Alam which were built using the this system are Seri Baiduri, Seri Intan, Seri Kasturi, Seri Mutiara and Seri Pinang where they are well accepted by the purchasers upon vacant possession.
“We are looking into using this same system of construction for the new D’Camellia apartments at our Setia EcoHll township which will be launched on 1 October, i.e. this upcoming weekend,” Kow commented.
S P Setia’s affordable apartments have garnered the attention of many industry awards which recognise the quality of these projects and the value they provided to purchasers. In early 2016, Seri Baiduri apartment in Setia Alam was bestowed the Star Property Award under the Starter Home Award.
