in malaysia, prefabricated building projects have often been associated with drab low or medium-cost housing rather than the up-market sector. however, a malaysian-invented prefabricated building system now allows luxurious homes with attractive architectural designs to be constructed faster and with almost zero defect.

launched in june 1999, the system was invented by our technical advisor, an architectural engineer khoo tian after extensive research over 10 years and an investment of some rm4 million. khoo likens his system to that of lego toys. the company, o-stable panel sdn bhd, has secured patent rights from the united states, new zealand, the european union and many other countries and is also waiting for approval in malaysia. baktian sdn bhd has been granted the exclusive license for this system in malaysia.

to prove that the o-stable panel system is not all hype, an experimental project of 97 units of houses in bidor, perak is being constructed using this method. the attractively designed houses are priced from rm220, 000 to rm550, 000 inclusive of rm70, 000 worth of luxurious finishing.
