KUCHING: SCIB Industrialised Building System Sdn Bhd (SIBS) has secured a RM21 million subcontract to carry out upgrading works for a student hostel block at Institut Pendidikan Guru (IPG) Kampus Keningau, Sabah.
The wholly-owned subsidiary of Sarawak Consolidated Industries Bhd (SCIB) was appointed the subcontractor for the project by Belian Juta Sdn Bhd
“SISB will be responsible for the execution, performance and completion of the subcontract works, including the provision of the necessary materials, labour, machinery, equipment and mechanical plants required for the project. The project is scheduled to commence on 21 August 2026 and is expected to be completed by 22 January 2029.
“The project is expected to be financed through internally generated funds and/or project progress buildings.
“The subcontract further strengthens SCIB’s construction and EPCC project pipeline in Sabah, and builds on the group’s recent momentum in securing and pursing new opportunities across the state,” SCIB said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia.
SCIB’s chairman Datuk Chong Loong Men said Sabah continues to be an important growth market for the company, and the latest project further strengthens its presence in the state.
“The IPG Keningau project also builds on our involvement in education-related projects where effective project execution and timely delivery are important to ensure that these facilities continue to serve their communities.
“Our strategy is to build a quality project pipeline through disciplined project selecting while leveraging our construction and EPCC capabilities. We are encouraged by the momentum we have established in Sabah and will continue to pursue opportunities where we believe SCIB can create sustainable value through our project management and execution capabilities,” he added in a media release.
On August 5, 2026, SCIB secured a RM24.59 million EPCC contract for the reconstruction of Sekolah Kebangsaan Kaingaran in Tambunan, Sabah.
Two days later, the group announced a strategic co-development agreement for a high-rise residential development in Penampan, Sabah, expanding its business presence in the state beyond its core construction and EPCC activities.
