They say every great story has a humble beginning and ours is no exception. Established in 1989, we secured our first contract in infrastructure and building works in early 1990. Then in 1993, we grew in our journey, delivering high-quality pipe jacking and earthworks with prominent clients by delivering ahead of time and with quality as our first priority. In 1997, we delivered Malaysia's first‑ever micro‑tunneling project that managed to gain recognition throughout the industry. From there we paced further by delivering Middle Ring Road Seremban project from 2002 to 2017.

As a builder, we are only as successful as the milestone that we’ve built.
