The Group has an established track record of 11 years since 2011 as a building contractor with experience and capabilities in the construction of a diverse range of residential and non-residential buildings for both the private and the public sectors. Starting out as a pure build contractor, the Group has since expanded its scope of work to become a design-and-build contractor in 2020, which has resulted in the Group’s ability to garner higher margins.
