CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Engineers put a high priority on engineering economics, so this course helps to realize the
need of economic information in order to be an effective manager and decision maker.
Engineering economics is the study of numerous financial and economic difficulties that
engineers face in a number of businesses. Economic theories examine themes such as demand,
price, expense, production competitiveness, trade cycles, national income, and so on. As the
process of design and manufacturing gets more intricate, the engineer must make more
financial considerations than ever before. Moreover, for those who have taken this courses in
the relevant discipline have adopted a range of strategies that have been demonstrated, both
experientially and scientifically, to allow for higher order learning and critical thinking. The
competent and successful engineer at present must have better understanding of economics
principles. The engineering economics is concerned the systematic assessment of the
advantages and costs of projects involving engineering design and analysis. Besides, the
benefits and costs associated with engineering projects are quantified by engineering
economics to evaluate if they save enough money to justify their capital investments.
Students in the engineering economy course at the University Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia
are given the task which a proposal about analysis whether the project of private college
development may be proceeding or not. The project involves the development of a new private
college costing RM100 million for a five-year period, and were assigned as project engineers
in Imcenzo Corporation Bhd, the construction company that located in Kuala Lumpur.

CHAPTER 2
This section will explore the background of Malaysia's chosen construction business and
its performance in accordance with the most recent yearly report. There will also be analyses
of kind of project funding, including budget, cash flow and income statement. This portion will
address the problems caused by the Covid-19 epidemic, which hampered the performance of
the firm and the remedy employing the decision-maker.
In the building of general earthwork and road works, Datuk Sakir established his firm as
the single owner. It was one of the major local land work company in Malaysia in the 1980s.
It built some of the most remarkable infrastructure projects in the country, including civil
engineering, building and development of public utilities, during the 1990s and early 2000s.
Imcenzo Engineering & Construction Sdn. Bhd. is also represented in the Group's
infrastructure industry in Malaysia, and in the Imcenzo Engineering and Construction Vietnam
Company which is limited in Vietnam. Within its Real Estate sector, Imcenzo initiated the
listing of the property firm known as Aseana Properties Limited (‘Aseana’) on the London
Stock Exchange on 5 April 2007 to carry out property development activities in Malaysia and
Vietnam. On top of that, Imcenzo Development Management Sdn. Bhd. which is Imcenzo’s
wholly – owned subsidiary has been chosen to handle the development portfolio of Aseana in
Malaysia and Vietnam as the exclusive Development Manager. Imcenzo expanded into

Technologies in 2003, founding i-Tech Network Solutions Sdn. Bhd which is the primary
networking and systems integration company. It provides customized IT infrastructure
solutions and co-location services in Malaysia and Vietnam.

2.2 Company Performance
Imcenzo Corporation Berhad reported total sales in the financial year2020 of RM 157,1
million, down by 21,5% compared to the financial year2019. In the FY2020 the worse
performance was mainly attributable to a decreased construction division contribution.
Because fewer new contracts guaranteed the lower order book. The increasing revenue from
the BDD, investment and trading & service divisions, and the BDD provide about52,6 percent
of the company's entire income, was somewhat offset for this. The Construction Division
contributed for approximately 43.3 percent of the company's overall revenues. Besides, the
company reported that pre-tax losses in FY2020 is RM36.2 million compared to pre-tax losses
in FY2019 which is RM28.7 million. This rise in losses was mainly due to the decrease in
revenue of the Construction Division, although overhead and operating costs remained high
during the year.
However, the Covid-19 pandemic which led to the regional and global lockdown of business
activities and the imposition of movement restriction in Malaysia and Vietnam has seriously
affected the four operational assets of Aseana. On top of that, Malaysia's tourism industry has
been badly affected since the end of 2019 due to imposition of movement control to curb the
spread of the virus. This has subsequently led to permanent closure of Four Points by Sheraton
Sandakan Hotel with effect from 31 May 2020. Total assets of the Company raised in FY2020
by RM22.5 million to RM507.7 million which is 4.6 percent higher than in the previous
financial year. Then, the company’s total liabilities rise 16 percent to RM394.8 million in
FY2020 compared to RM340.4 million in FY2019 which translating to a lower net asset per
share of RM0.62 where RM0.80 in FY2019. On a consolidated basis, the equity of the
company's shareholders decreased from RM117.6 million in FY2019 to RM77.4 million in
FY2020 due to losses reported during the year. However, will not be categorized as PN17 and
will not be required to abide with the obligations, in line with the PN17 relief measures
implemented by Bursa from 17 April 2020 until 30 June 2021. Lastly, the company will
continue to establish its four cores business of Construction, Property Development,
Technologies and Urban Transportation on a more cautious and prudence approach as the
macro and micro business environment remain challenging ahead.

CHAPTER 3
To address this issue, the project strongly advocated for the use of the prefabrication
process, which provides significant benefits such as reduced construction time, increased
efficiency, improved workplace health and safety, reduced pollution from construction sites,
and reduced energy and water consumption. It is a system in which the entire room is processed
in a prefabricated factory to finish the frame and decoration, including the floor, wall, ceiling,
and other parts, and to form a separate module that is delivered for lifting to the site because of
its modular nature, prefabrication allows for simultaneous construction and will significantly
reduce the construction schedule, resulting in a dramatic increase in building efficiency. On the
other hand, environmental emissions will be reduced, as will noise and dust pollution during
the construction period. When the manufacturing site is relocated from on-site to the
warehouse, output is guaranteed, and the construction site for the workers is safer and more
secure.

3.2 Life Cycle Cost (LCC)
Life cycle cost is an approach used to assess the total cost owning a facility or running
a project. The purpose of life cycle cost is to estimate the overall costs of project alternatives
as well as to achieve efficient and effective support to operations. Moreover, LCC needs to
performed during the initial stages of the design process as there is room to make changes and
refinements that will ensure the life cycle cost is reduced.
The suitable approach for LCC in construction industry is the NPV (net present value)
method. The life cycle cost for this project will be analysed in two phases which are acquisition
phase and operation phase while the total life cycle cost is summation of acquisition cost and
operational cost.
Based on table below shows, the life cycle cost analysis for 5 years of Private
Educational College Project at Taman Berlian, Kota Samarahan, Sarawak in acquisition phase
is RM 47,391,580.00 while operational phase is RM50,363,950.00. Therefore, the total life
cycle cost for this project is RM97,755,530.00.

CHAPTER 4
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, all of the project's objectives and demands have been accomplished successfully.
Despite the fact that the construction project's progress has been disrupted by the COVID-19
pandemic, which has resulted in the Malaysian government issuing a Movement Control Order
(MCO), the problem and alternative approach have been documented, reviewed, and evaluated
through the Decision-Making Process. Because this building project was expected to be
completed in 5 years with a budget of RM100,000,000.00, a Work Breakdown Structure
(WBS) was created to efficiently manage all work stage by stage. The Benefit-Cost (B-C) Ratio
technique may be used to analyse the building project of Private Collage in Taman Berlian,
Kota Samarahan, Sarawak. Using n = 5, the project's Minimum Acceptable Rate of Return
(MARR) is 10%, the initial investment cost is RM9,556840.00, and the benefit cost is
RM11,5000,000.00. The used technique of calculating the B-C ratio yields a value of 1.643 for
the traditional B-C ratio with present worth (PW), while the modified B-C ratio with present
worth (PW) is 4.290, and modified B-C ratio with annual worth (AW) yield a value of 3.880.
These values of which are larger than 1.0, so, this considerably show that the project can be
completed throughout the remaining of the construction project's duration. Last but not least,
below is the work distribution for each member in our group:
