Behind the Success of Design & Build in Cambodia’s Construction Industry

 

Construction in Cambodia has been rapidly growing in the last decade and expecting to grow more due to vast urban and rural areas that are left to be developed. According to Ministry of Land Management Urban Planning and Construction (MLMUPC), more than US $2.7 billion in construction investment projects were approved within the first quarter of 2019.  Most of the investments are on high-rise residential buildings, factories, boreys, hotels, commercial buildings, and office buildings. With high demand on quality construction from both foreign investors and local development companies, one-stop-service plays an important role in providing investors with cost and time efficiency. CMED Construction’s General Manager is here to introduce to Cambodia’s only one-stop-service construction company.
