KUALA LUMPUR (May 31): MGB Bhd (KL:MGB), a subsidiary of LBS Bina Group Bhd (KL:LBS), marked the completion of the building structure of Idaman Melur in Cybersouth, Selangor, with a roof-topping ceremony on May 24. The project was completed a month ahead of schedule.

In a press release on Thursday, MGB mentioned that the early completion of Idaman Melur was made possible through the use of the company's in-house industrialised building system (IBS) precast concrete technology.

It added that the IBS technology had reduced construction time of its projects by 33% and manual labour by 31%. MGB’s IBS factories are capable of producing IBS precast concrete panels for up to 6,000 units of residential properties annually.

By employing this technology, MGB is set to deliver 7,210 units of affordable homes under the Rumah Selangorku Idaman MBI initiative, while supporting the state government's goal of constructing 30,000 affordable homes by 2025.

In the statement, MGB group executive chairman Tan Sri Lim Hock San said that the roof-topping of a building symbolises the culmination of hard work and a bright future. "It represents our unwavering commitment to excellence in everything we do. 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."

Lim also added that MGB is well positioned for continued growth, both domestically and internationally. "Our purchase orders received from Sany Alameriah for the supply and installation of precast elements for 400 units in the ROSHN Alarous development in Jeddah are on schedule, with the precast concrete elements already being supplied and installed on-site progressively. We remain focused on delivering the best products and services for our customers."

Meanwhile, MGB is preparing to deliver vacant possession of Idaman BSP in Bandar Saujana Putra, Selangor, in the third quarter of this year. Idaman BSP and Idaman Melur are two of the six Rumah Selangorku Idaman MBI projects being developed by MGB.
