Pre-Built Public Company Limited

Pre-Built Public Company Limited, or PREB, has overhauled the management approach for its construction contracting business group to cope with volatility in oil and construction material prices. Chief Executive Officer Wirot Charoentra disclosed that for new projects to be developed going forward, if they are long-term projects, the company will assess costs in advance, or set a cost buffer, from the pricing stage, and negotiate with customers to reflect true costs should volatility prove more severe than expected. For work already secured and under way, the company currently has a backlog worth more than 9 billion baht, which is expected to be recognised continuously over roughly the next two years and six months, and the company has negotiated with suppliers to lock in construction material prices. At the same time, the company plans to bid for new projects and is awaiting the results of several more tender submissions, representing a combined project value of approximately 3 billion baht. About 90% of revenue still comes from the construction contracting business of the parent company, together with the construction materials distribution business, namely the production and sale of precast concrete slabs, or Precast, and glass fibre reinforced concrete. As for the operating performance outlook in 2026, the company expects it to be flat or close to the previous year, when revenue was approximately 54 billion baht.

Pre-Built Public Company Limited, or PREB, reported net profit for the first six months of 2026 of 65.33 million baht, up 26.90% from 51.48 million baht in the same period last year. Total revenue was 2.81 billion baht, up 24.01% from 2.27 billion baht. Main revenue came from construction contracting at 2.54 billion baht, floor slab manufacturing at 107.20 million baht, and property development at 165.49 million baht. The company currently has a backlog awaiting revenue recognition of approximately 9.22 billion baht, which will be recognised gradually according to the progress of each project. In the second half of the year, the company will focus on bidding for potential construction projects such as high-rise buildings, office buildings, commercial buildings, industrial factories, hotels, international schools, shopping centres, and hospitals.

Pre-Built Public Company Limited, or PREB, is likely to benefit from the government's declaration of 2026 as the Year of Investment, which will help drive the construction sector into a recovery phase. Investment promotion applications in the first half of 2026 totaled 1,299 projects with a combined value of 1.47 trillion baht, up 37 percent from the same period last year, reflecting rising demand for factory and building construction. This is a direct positive factor for PREB as a full-service contractor specializing in high-rise buildings, factories, and precast concrete components. In addition, the company has a high backlog that will be gradually recognized as revenue, and it has opportunities to secure more new projects from expanding investment.
