Malaysian company Bina Puri Holdings Bhd has won a NPR5.2 billion (about RM183 million) contract for the construction of Supreme Court building complex at Ramshahpath, Kathmandu. This new development is funded by the Government of Nepal.
To build the project, Bina Puri has entered into a joint venture agreement with Nepalese companies Kalika Construction Pvt Ltd and Samanantar Nirman Sewa Pvt Ltd to form Bina Puri – Kalika - Samanantar JV.
Awarded by the Supreme Court of Nepal, the project has a contract period of 36 months. It will consist of a seven-storey building including two basements, RCC framed structure building with complete finishing, landscaping and MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing along with firefighting) works.
“We have been actively participating in the tender for projects both locally and overseas to further replenish our orderbook. With the latest award mentioned, the Group's latest project book order will increase to RM1.9 billion,” said Datuk Matthew Tee, Bina Puri’s group executive director.
