Community Well-being

Stakeholder management, community engagement, and disruption management are critical steps in managing projects that cross urban landscapes. While successful project progress is important, we also believe in minimising construction disruptions where we operate.

We have often taken a lead role, working proactively with the local community (residents' associations, commercial business owners, state assemblymembers and members of parliament) together with the project owner to manage temporary inconveniences while delivering high-quality community engagement activities where we are constructing.

We are experienced in constructing infrastructure along high-density urban areas within Greater Kuala Lumpur, with a population of nearly 12 million. We have built mass rapid transits on alignments spanning over 100km with close proximity to places of worship, schools, hospitals, shopping malls, live railways lines, petrol stations, stadiums and intercrossing highways.

What Gamuda practises is to keep stakeholders, particularly the general public, well-informed and up-to-date on the project progress, construction activities and traffic management. We believe this is necessary to manage expectations proactively and address potential concerns. This results in greater holistic support and buy-in on the project and augurs smooth project delivery.

Our proven record and achievements in managing community and sensitive issues throughout construction demonstrate our ability to deliver projects successfully and on time.

Indeed, via strategic planning, our Community Management team had navigated and managed tight urban settings such as Bukit Bintang in Kuala Lumpur's Golden Triangle with everything from hotels, malls and standalone business operators to heritage buildings and schools along Ipoh Road in addition to one of Asia's largest and busiest hospitals.
