Staying true to Gamuda Land’s town-making principles, Danny explained, “We will support the government’s aspiration to create more affordable homes for the people. At Gamuda Land, we create places that people will call home, want to be a part of, grow up and grow old in. We do not compromise on quality, delivery and living environment for affordable homes and this is why we have adopted Gamuda IBS – Malaysia’s first digital IBS. It addresses the need to deliver better quality homes, faster.”
“With Gamuda IBS and the full operation of two of its factories, we will have a combined output of 8000 units annually. This will reaffirm our commitment to build homes with a faster delivery timeline,” said Danny, adding that Gamuda Land will continue to build more affordable homes in all its townships.
“The adoption of digital IBS has resulted in faster construction works with up to twelve (12) months reduction in construction timeline. With such advancement in construction technology, the government is confident of achieving our aspiration of building 200,000 units of affordable houses per year. I applaud the Gamuda IBS team for advancing the technology,” lauded YBM Senator Dato’ Raja Kamarul Bahrin Shah.
