International planning and management consultancy TBH has launched a new office in Malaysia, marking a significant step in its expansion across Southeast Asia. This move coincides with the firm’s 60th anniversary and complements its established presence in Singapore since 2010. Michael Tan, with over 25 years of experience in the Asia-Pacific region, has been appointed as Country Manager to spearhead this growth.
The Malaysian construction industry is projected to grow by 9.6% year-on-year in 2025, driven by developments in housing, data centres, and semiconductor facilities. TBH aims to leverage its expertise in planning, project controls, and risk management to support this growth. Tan will focus on building strategic partnerships and delivering specialised services in Malaysia’s burgeoning infrastructure, energy, and digital sectors.
Michael Tan expressed enthusiasm about his new role, stating, “Malaysia’s infrastructure, energy and digital sectors are entering an exciting phase of development, and I’m delighted to lead TBH’s efforts in helping deliver projects that will shape the country’s future economy and built environment.”
Trevor Lam, a partner at TBH, highlighted the strategic importance of the expansion, noting, “As TBH celebrates its 60th anniversary, we are delighted to welcome Michael to our leadership team. His depth of expertise in project controls and delay analysis will be instrumental in enhancing our service offering in Malaysia.”
As TBH continues to expand its footprint in Asia, the firm remains committed to contributing to the development of a resilient and future-ready built environment in Malaysia and beyond.
