KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is stepping up efforts to transform its construction industry through technology transfer, local innovations and international collaborations to improve productivity and strengthen its global competitiveness, said Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi.

He said the country was focusing on making the industry more productive, innovative and sustainable, with the Modular Construction Roadmap 2026-2030 serving as a key initiative towards adopting faster, more efficient and higher-quality construction methods.

Nanta said Malaysia was still on a learning curve in adopting advanced construction technologies but had made encouraging progress in developing its own innovations.
