anking on a distinctive tagline of Creating Tomorrow & Beyond, Eco World Development Group Berhad (EW Berhad) ventured into the Northern region with the development of Eco North Projects. The Group presently has approximately 7,443.9 acres of landbank with a total gross development value (GDV) of RM81 billion. Currently, with a strong presence in the Klang Valley, Iskandar Malaysia and Penang, Eco World has an interesting range of 17 projects including affordable, upgrader and luxury homes, integrated high-rise developments and green business parks. THE DISTINCTIVE VALUES The general manager of Eco World Development Group Bhd (EcoWorld) Penang, Khoo Teck Chong says the Group sets itself apart from other developers in Penang by emphasising more on its services and products. “Our company is relatively new in the market compared to others but we have a very strong background that grounds us in this industry,” says Khoo. “When we build our sales gallery, we take photos and compare them to our artist’s impression images. We will show them to our clients and promise to deliver a home that is so much better than the CGI (computer-generated imagery) version.” Khoo adds that Eco World has its own quality assurance team. “In terms of the quality of our service, we benchmark our service standards against The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, one of the top-notch names in the service industry.” “As far as the quality of our products are concerned, our own team checks on them. We also have our own Construction Product Assistant (CPA). I have a very good quality management division that takes care of all this.” Apart from training his own employees, Khoo says he also trains with contractors, consultants and even surveyors. “We get through training together to ensure our contractors, for example, understand what we want when we say the best quality of development. I find this necessary to avoid any issues in the future.
