HOW MUCH WILL THE PROJECT COST?Predicting the final cost of the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore HSR project is still difficult at this stage, as it depends on several factors that haven't been fully finalized. However, we can discuss some estimates and potential influences:• The chosen consortium and their proposed construction plan: Different consortiums may have different approaches and technologies, leading to varying costs.• Land acquisition and environmental considerations: The specific route chosen and any potential environmental challenges could impact costs significantly.• Financing arrangements and market fluctuations: The chosen funding model and potential changes in material costs or economic conditions could affect the final price tag.Despite the uncertainty, here's what we know about previous estimates:• Initial estimates: The project's initial cost was estimated at MYR 72 billion (US$17.4 billion) by the Barisan Nasional government.• Later revisions: The subsequent administration led by Mahathir revised the cost to MYR 110 billion (US$26.6 billion) in 2018 due to potential hidden costs.• Expert opinions: Some experts and news reports have suggested the cost could be around MYR 40 billion (US$9.7 billion), but this remains speculative.Since the project is still in the early stages of the bidding process, it's likely that more concrete cost estimates will only emerge once the selected consortium submits its detailed proposal in the RFP stage. This stage is expected to happen later in 2024, so we'll have to wait for further developments for a more accurate picture of the project's cost.

In my study on Borama Construction projects, I discovered a significant issue with poor supervision checklists, which often caused delays and cost overruns. To address this problem, I have compiled a comprehensive site supervision checklist that can greatly help in overcoming these challenges.By using this supervision checklist, project managers and supervisors can ensure that all necessary steps and procedures are followed correctly. It helps in streamlining the workflow, enhancing efficiency, and reducing the likelihood of errors or oversights. A well-implemented supervision checklist can lead to improved project progress, timely completion, and adherence to budget limitations.This checklist serves as a valuable tool to ensure consistent and effective supervision, ultimately contributing to successful project outcomes.

The Construction Index of #bursamalaysia reached its highest level in four-and-a-half years, correlating with Malaysia's construction sector seeing a surge in work value to RM34.1 billion in 4Q23, marking a 6.8% year-on-year increase. The positive trend persisted for seven consecutive quarters, driven by an 18% expansion in the civil engineering sub-sector, particularly in roads, railways, and utility projects. Selangor led with RM8.6 billion, followed by Federal Territories at RM4 billion. The private sector contributed significantly, representing 59.5% of the overall value in 4Q23. The total construction work in 2023 amounted to RM132.2 billion, reflecting an 8.4% positive momentum.

Deeper Dive Into Potential Sub-Contractors and Broader Industry Trends For Penang LRT Project Sub-contractors:· Civil works: Based on HLIB's report, several companies could be strong contenders for sub-contracts in segments 1 and 2, particularly those with expertise in: oMarine construction: Given the potential presence of extensive marine elements, especially for bridge or tunnel sections, sub-contractors like Muhibbah Engineering (NR) could be highly sought after. oFoundation works: Companies with experience in piling and foundation works like Econpile Holdings Bhd, Aneka Jaringan Holdings Bhd and Gabungan AQRS Bhd could be valuable partners.· Systems and Rolling Stock: While Gamuda is a contender, IJM Corp Bhd's partnership with Pestech Technology Sdn Bhd shouldn't be overlooked. This collaboration brings together a construction giant with a company experienced in supplying railway systems.Industry #Trends:· Mega-infrastructure rollouts: As highlighted by HLIB, the Penang LRT project is part of a larger trend of expected mega-infrastructure projects in Malaysia. This bodes well for the construction sector as a whole, creating opportunities beyond the usual RM20 billion annual contract norm.· Focus on data centers and factories: The booming data center and factory/warehouse construction will likely translate to a robust flow of private sector construction jobs, further bolstering the industry.· Skilled labor shortage: With a surge in construction projects, a potential challenge could be a shortage of skilled labor. Companies with strong training programs and a focus on attracting talent will be better positioned to navigate this.· Technology adoption: The construction sector is likely to see increased adoption of technologies like Building Information Modeling (BIM) and prefabrication to improve efficiency and safety. Companies that embrace these advancements will have a competitive edge.

To manage cost while satisfying functionality and safety, we designed the slabs of one of our institutional buildings in Kiambu as a hybrid slab. We adopted a hollow pot slab in some regions and a solid slab in other regions.Captured in the footage is an active site in Kiambu🇰🇪 code named Project Red OchreWe are a leading Engineering and Project Management Firm.
