“Ecobuilt plans to expand into property development and building materials trading, targeting 25% profit contribution as it seeks to diversify revenue streams.”
Kuala Lumpur, 13th April 2026, 3.35pm – Ecobuilt Holdings Berhad has proposed to diversify its core business into property development and the trading of building materials, as part of its strategy to broaden revenue streams and improve long-term profitability.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia on Friday, the group said the new business segments are expected to contribute at least 25% of its net profit going forward.
Expansion across construction and property value chain
Ecobuilt said it plans to establish new subsidiaries to undertake the proposed diversification, subject to shareholder approval at an upcoming general meeting.
The company noted that the move would allow it to leverage its existing experience, technical expertise and industry network within the construction sector, while expanding into higher value segments across the property development lifecycle.
“The proposed diversification provides greater flexibility for the group to pursue opportunities across different stages of the construction and property value chain,” the company said.
Reducing reliance on construction segment
The group added that the expansion into property development and building materials trading is expected to complement its existing construction business and reduce reliance on a single income stream.
This approach aligns with broader industry trends, where contractors are increasingly integrating upstream and downstream activities to enhance margins and operational resilience.
Regulatory risks remain
Ecobuilt highlighted that the proposed new segments will be subject to various regulatory requirements.
Property development activities will need to comply with government regulations and approval processes, while the building materials trading business may require licensing, import approvals and adherence to product standards.
Order book stands at RM196.8 million
As at the latest update, Ecobuilt reported an unbilled order book of approximately RM196.8 million, comprising:
- Riveria Phase 2 project in Brickfields: RM165.07 million
- Seiring Block D project in Shah Alam: RM31.73 million
Financial position and performance
As at Nov 30, 2025, the group recorded a net debt position of RM2.03 million, with total borrowings of RM3.37 million exceeding cash reserves of RM1.35 million.
Ecobuilt has remained loss-making since the financial year ended 2022, highlighting the need for business diversification to support earnings recovery.
Share price performance
Shares of Ecobuilt closed unchanged at 5.5 sen on Friday, giving the company a market capitalisation of approximately RM23.1 million.
