our foundation

engineer it differently

 ohr was founded on principles of creativity and collaboration in engineering, at a time when we felt the Malaysian built environment could benefit from it. We believe that engineering can and should be creative. Amazing feats of engineering throughout history were borne out of creativity, by people who stepped up to challenge the norm. Creativity should not be reserved for special undertakings. Rather, the simplest and most mundane tasks, through to the most complex will all benefit from a touch of it. Creativity is the essence of efficiency and excellence. We believe that collaborative effort in all we do and by all who are involved is fundamental to an amazing outcome.


With collaboration comes trust, commitment, integrity, open communication, transparency, mutual respect and inclusiveness. At ohr, equality comes into the equation too, as we believe all people are created equal. Everything we do is underpinned by this creative and collaborative approach, and is reflected in the solutions that we provide. Now, when creativity and collaboration are embedded in everything we do, fun inevitably ensues. And why can't and shouldn't work be fun? Agan, let's challenge and change the norm in our country.


This is why at ohr we say, let's engineer it differently. But we look forward to the day when this way of doing engineering in Malaysia is no longer an exception but rather, the norm.

They have a very good understanding of structural design, which saved us large sums of money from having not to strengthen columns on a high rise. 

Lim Tee Keng

Managing Director, Mentari Berseri I Contractor & Client



Cost is the biggest concern as we have a very tight budget and i was worried if ohr wasn't interested. the project's key concern is optimization of resources to achieve the maximum returns. obviously this necessitated much time and effort to brainstorm solutions. ohr came through time and again with innovative ideas and solutions and they managed this within our limited budget.
