A new IKEA store is coming to Tebrau, Johor Bahru – this is the first one in the southern region of Malaysia, scheduled to open by the end of 2017. Faithful+Gould has been awarded a contract by Ikano to carry out project management consultancy on the project.

Faithful+Gould’s team of project managers, construction managers, HSE specialists, commercial managers, design managers, specialist schedulers, and the architectural design review team will be working closely with Ikano to deliver the development according to their operational needs and requirements.

“This is a fantastic win for Faithful+Gould and a testament to the trust Ikano have put in our integrated project management expertise. With the addition of this prominent IKEA development to our projects portfolio, we have solidified our position to further infiltrate the Malaysia market and broader retail sector in Asia Pacific, and more importantly, look forward to our continued growth with Ikano,” said Rick Hancock, Faithful+Gould’ s SEA director.

Faithful+Gould has also been involved in the delivery of IKEA retail stores in Shanghai, Hangzhou, Foshan, and Harbin in China, as well as the Middle East.
