Perunding JW (JW Consulting Engineers, Malaysia): A Trusted Name in Mechanical & Electrical (M&E) Consulting for Over Two Decades

The construction industry in Southeast Asia is experiencing rapid growth, with ever-increasing investment from global corporations attracted by the region’s developing talent pool and low wages. In 2021, the industry in South East Asia grew by 7.5 percent, far surpassing the global average of three percent. Malaysia, in particular, has seen a shift in focus toward refurbishment projects, which present unique challenges such as the need for extensive site inspection and coordination. This trend toward refurbishment projects reflects the need for sustainable development and responsible resource management.

Established in 1998, Perunding JW is a consulting firm specializing in mechanical and electrical (M&E) engineering.

It is committed to delivering only the highest quality work and providing excellent service to its clients.

Quality & Reliability

The M&E industry faces concerns about the quality of M&E work produced due to poor quality control and lack of supervision by senior engineers. Properly curated drawings at the design stage can save the client time and money during the construction stage. There is a growing need for refurbishment of buildings over 25 years old due to the gradual deterioration of buildings’ M&E systems. There are also many scenarios whereby buildings do not have proper authority submissions, thus hindering these buildings’ ability to be sold at market value. Many buildings also suffer from frequent electrical tripping. The above highlights the importance of diligent workmanship and a robust quality control process throughout the construction lifecycle.

PJW is a highly respected Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) consulting firm with a legacy that dates back to 1998. With over 24 years of service in the industry, it has established a proven track record of successful involvement in numerous development projects. Its commitment to quality and reliability has earned it a reputable standing in Malaysia’s construction industry, making PJW synonymous with excellence.

At Perunding JW, we don’t just design buildings, we engineer solutions”, says Ir. Jimmy Wu.

The building process consists of four stages - preliminary, design, tender, and construction. In the preliminary stage, initial site visits and inspections are conducted to identify the root cause of existing problems and to survey the land. The design stage involves designing drawings to solve the identified problems while considering the client’s needs. The tender stage includes calling for qualified participants, ensuring compliance with technical specifications, and assisting the client in awarding the tenderer. Finally, during the construction stage, the tenderer’s compliance with the drawings and specifications is monitored, and issues are resolved to ensure successful project implementation. “We are dedicated to providing excellent services and ensuring optimal system performance while minimizing downtime for our clients”, says Ir. Jimmy Wu.
