About Construction Companies in Malaysia

Malaysia's construction sector encompasses building construction, infrastructure development (highways, rail, airports), civil engineering, property development construction, and specialist subcontractors. The sector employs engineers, quantity surveyors, project managers, architects, site supervisors, and a skilled trades workforce across hundreds of active projects nationwide.

Malaysia's major contractors include Gamuda Berhad, IJM Corporation, WCT Holdings, Sunway Construction, Muhibbah Engineering, and Ahmad Zaki Resources. Government-linked projects — MRT and LRT expansions, the Penang Transport Master Plan, and Sarawak's Pan Borneo Highway — drive multi-billion ringgit activity and create thousands of engineering and project management roles.
