KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 12 (Bernama) -- Three housing projects under the PR1MA Malaysia Corporation (PR1MA) received recognition in the QLASSIC Excellence Award for Government Projects category at the QUEST 2026 Awards, organised by the Construction Industry Development Board Malaysia (CIDB).
The award presentation ceremony was officiated by the Deputy Works Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Maslan here today.
In a statement, PR1MA said that the success was led by Residensi Menggatal in Sabah, which recorded an excellent score of 82 per cent through the Quality Assessment System in Construction (QLASSIC), followed by two projects in Kedah, namely Residensi Junjong (79 per cent) and Residensi Simpang Empat Phase 1 (78 per cent).
PR1MA group chief executive officer Brian Iskandar Zulkarim said that the recognition is a significant achievement for PR1MA in its efforts to provide quality, affordable housing to the people.
"It proves that the construction of affordable housing should not neglect the aspect of quality. At PR1MA, we always emphasise construction quality to ensure that every home developed provides comfort and long-term value to its owners," he said.
He said that the achievement is also the result of the commitment and close cooperation of all PR1MA members with project implementation partners in ensuring that construction quality standards are always prioritised.
In addition, he said PR1MA will continue to strengthen quality monitoring mechanisms and project implementation comprehensively in the future to further elevate the national housing standards.
The awards recognise the achievements of the construction industry through several assessment categories, including QLASSIC, the Safety and Health Performance Assessment System in Construction, the Carbon and Environmental Retention Tool, and the Infrastructure Sustainability Rating Tool.
PR1MA, established under the PR1MA Act 2012 as an agency under the Ministry of Housing and Local Government, is responsible for planning, developing, constructing, and offering affordable housing with a sustainable community concept in major urban areas nationwide.
