KUALA LUMPUR: Tuju Setia Bhd has won a contract to undertake main contractor works for a development in Kajang, Selangor worth RM257 million.

The contract which was awarded to its subsidiary Pembinaan Tuju Setia Sdn Bhd (PTS) is from Daksina Harta Sdn Bhd, a joint venture company belonging to developers Sunway Bhd and MKH Bhd.

This new project has pushed the company's current orderbook to RM1.5 billion.

Tuju Setia managing director Wee Eng Kong said receiving the project from prominent players in the industry reflects their recognition of the company's commitment in delivering products with consistent quality and in a timely manner.

"We endeavour to maintain this reputation as the builder of choice. In fact, two of our projects completed in the past 12 months were certified with high quality construction scores of beyond 80 per cent under Quality Assessment System in Construction (QLASSIC)1 and BuildQAS 2.

"These credentials help us stand out in our upcoming tenders," he said in a statement.

PTS will construct two blocks of 1,605-unit serviced apartments, a car park podium, retail units as well as other facilities under the contract.

The Jernih Residence project is Tuju Setia's second contract from Sunway Group. In December last year, PTS was appointed as the main contractor for Sunway d'hill Residences in Kota Damansara, which is developed by Sunway PKNS Sdn Bhd, a joint venture company of Sunway City Sdn Bhd and Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Selangor (PKNS).

Additionally, the development is accessible through major highways such as Cheras-Kajang Highway, Kajang Dispersal Link Expressway, Kajang-Seremban Highway, and is located just two stations away from Kajang KTM station.

Nearby amenities include KPJ Kajang Specialist Hospital, Lotus's Kajang, Plaza Metro Kajang, SJK and SMJK (C) Yu Hua, Kajang market, Metro Point Kajang and New Era University College.
