Point of view
Based on the IBS system that successfully developed by AJIYA , it will be a represent a new evolution of eco-friendly in the construction sector , as it more cost effective and faster completion than the conventional construction method. It reduces the dependency of labors and wastage. Also, there is shareholding from foreign institution investors. It is attracting point.
The survive of this company is not easy , no matter is facing the 2008 financial crisis or economic downturn, the company is still paying the dividend within the range 2% – 6% to their shareholder. It also a sign of a company’s strength and positive expectation.
Besides, by viewed on the latest annual report, there is a vacant land in Ulu Langat, Selangor . The company hasn’t decided the usage of the land, it is either utilizes for short to medium term investment purpose or for further expansion in operation. Let stay tuned for management decision.
Moreover, the IBS has successful implement in the world are Sekisui Home ( Japan), Living Solution (UK) and etc. Previously, due to many misinterpret that IBS as a high-risk process and lack of awareness, and is not popular among Malaysia’s design consultants. It became a barrier to adopting IBS, but in future believe that adopt IBS as a construction method, it able to shift from industrialized building system to intelligence building solution in Malaysia. The innovative idea of IBS will become more commonly in Malaysia. Furthermore, the government’s effort of build affordable housing and the MRT projects, consider that it will need more metal and glass based products in future. We assume that in future, it will have potential grow in construction sector based on demand products, and prospective plan.
