KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 13): The construction industry is expected to record a growth of 10.5% this year despite the current economic uncertainties, according to Pertubuhan Akitek Malaysia (PAM) president Mohd Zulhemlee An.
Speaking at a press conference following the opening ceremony of the 16th International Architecture, Interior Design and Building Exhibition, Malaysia (ARCHIDEX 15) today, he noted that this year will be the fourth consecutive year the construction industry recorded double digit growth.
