What Sepakat Setia Perunding Sdn Bhd does

Sepakat Setia Perunding Sdn Bhd (SSP) is a Malaysia-headquartered, privately-held multi-disciplinary engineering consultancy founded in 1924 by Danish engineer Mr. Steen Sehested. Operating from its own Wisma SSP premises in Seri Kembangan, Selangor, the firm provides professional engineering services across the full project lifecycle — feasibility study, detailed design, contract documentation, project management, QA/QC with construction supervision, and design audit — to both Malaysian public sector clients (federal and state water, transport, and infrastructure agencies) and private sector developers and concessionaires (PLUS, PROLINTAS, Gamuda, MMC-Gamuda JV, Northport). Its 700+ professional staff are organised around three wholly-owned subsidiaries — SSP Geotechnics Sdn Bhd (1990), SSP (E&M) Sdn Bhd (1991), and SSP HIGHRISE Sdn Bhd (2011) — and the firm is registered with the Board of Engineers Malaysia, the Ministry of Finance Malaysia, and holds MS ISO 9001:2015, MS ISO 14001:2015, and MS ISO 45001:2018 certifications.

SSP delivers a 22-category service portfolio spanning aviation, bridges and interchanges, coastal and marine works, commercial buildings, dams, drainage and irrigation, highways and expressways, housing and residential, industrial plants, railway, sewerage and wastewater treatment, tunnels, water supply and treatment, and land reclamation. Its underlying technology is a comprehensive engineering design and analysis software stack (Autodesk, Bentley, Tekla, ETABS/SAFE/SAP2000, MIDAS Civil, Plaxis, MIKE FLOOD, ArcGIS) supported by an ICT infrastructure of 23 servers, 450 PCs, 30 notebooks, and a 27,000-volume technical library. Notable landmark projects include the SMART Tunnel, KLIA Passenger Terminal Complex, KVMRT2 (SSP Line), SUKE Elevated Expressway, North-South Expressway, Northport Wharf 8A, Mengkuang Dam Expansion, and the Bunus Phase 2 Sewage Treatment Plant, with international engagements including the Yen So Wastewater Treatment Plant in Hanoi, Vietnam, and the 117 km² Jazan Economic City in Saudi Arabia.

The business model is professional services fee-based, with revenue generated through custom-quoted consultancy contracts awarded via direct engagement, formal tendering, and appointment processes (including MOF-registered public procurement). GTM is enterprise field sales driven by professional reputation, 100-year track record, statutory registrations, and repeat client relationships. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is project-scope-dependent. The firm has no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or funding rounds, and operates as an independent entity led by Managing Director Ir. Zolkarnain Bin Abd Rahim with a board and engineering directorate. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
