Download or read book Factors Affecting Construction Speed of Industrialized Building System in Malaysia written by Wa'el Abdulmoghni Mohammed Al-Aghbari and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Malaysia is presently taking a serious look at IBS as an answer to the housing shortage problem. There are many advantages using the IBS according to a report published by the Malaysian Ministry for Local Government and Housing. The main advantages are the speed of construction, quality and price. All of these are required to meet the large demand for housing. This thesis presents the speed of construction methods which are the conventional system, cast-in-situ method, composite methods, and the Industrialized Building System; including the factors that affect the speed of IBS and the factors causing delay in building construction projects. The data were collected through mailing questionnaires distribution. The questionnaire took into consideration the factors on sample size, time, speed and causes of delay. The questionnaire was distributed to four hundred and fifty respondents among developers, government boards, main contractors, consultants and manufactures who were concerned with the building systems of construction projects in Malaysia. The return was seventy eight respondents. The statistical descriptive analysis was used to identify whether the respondents have the necessary sufficient qualification to respond correctly to the questionnaire. However, spearman correlation analysis was used to find out the significant scenario of the construction method. The Logit linear analysis was used to choose between the IBS and the conventional methods. In addition, it is used to test these hypc:>theses since it is a useful mean of both summarizing the results of data analysis and comparing the effects of different speed factors on the probability to choose the construction method. The results have been analyzed to rank the factors affecting the speed of IBS and the factors causing the delay of building construction projects. As a result from the analysis, it was observed that the full-prefabricated method was the fastest construction method compared to the other methods. Moreover, the high productivity of structural elements (in-situ or off-situ) is the most important factor that had an effect on the speed of IBS. The study also revealed many factors causing delay in building construction projects in Malaysia. These factors could be financial from both the contractors and the owners' side. Poor management is also an important factor causing delay. However, a very important factor for the delay could be from the consultant's side where the supervision is conducted at a very late stage during the execution of the project and the incompetence in giving timely instructions. Finally, the most important external factor causing delay is the lack of materials in the market. The result of the study is that there should be continuous improvement of the IBS which focus mainly on innovating techniques to improve the productivity. The financial support as well as technical support is very necessary and urgent for building construction projects.

Download or read book A Malaysian Study of Mixed Methods written by Ruhizal Roosli and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book consists of ten chapters, focusing on how to combine quantitative with qualitative methods in a research project. The approach of combining both methods is called ‘Triangulation’. In the social sciences, triangulation is often used in combining several research methods to study one subject. However, it is not in itself a method in the same way as a quantitative or qualitative approach with a specific paradigm. Triangulation is a plan, structure and investigation strategy deployed to obtain answers to problems identified at an earlier stage, and is widely used by researchers due to its capability in cross-checking the validity of findings and its minimal risk of bias. This book details the triangulation approach through its use in a real research project. Although, there are a number of books which discuss general research guidelines and methods, there is a notable lack of such books in social sciences which provide an example of integrating quantitative and qualitative methods in one research project. As such, the contents of this book will be useful to students, academicians and practitioners conducting research work.

Download or read book Government and Society in Malaysia written by Harold Crouch and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-24 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Malaysian political system incorporates a mix of democratic and authoritarian characteristics. In this comprehensive account, Harold Crouch argues that, while they may appear contradictory, the responsive and the repressive features of the system combine in an integrated and coherent whole. Consistently dominated by the Malay party UMNO, which represents the largest ethnic group, the Malaysian government requires the support of its Chinese, Indian, and East Malaysian minorities to retain control. The need to appeal to a politically and ethnically divided electorate restrains the arbitrary exercise of power by the ruling coalition. As a result, the government responds to popular aspirations, particularly since a split in the dominant Malay party in the 1980s. Yet it also controls the electoral process, ensuring victory in all national elections. Communal, social, and economic factors have all contributed in rather ambiguous ways to shaping the Malaysian political system. Communal tensions, change in the class structure, and the consequences of economic growth have generated pressures in both democratic and authoritarian directions. The government has been remarkably stable despite sharp ethnic divisions and, Crouch suggests, it is unlikely to move swiftly toward full democracy in the near future.

Download or read book Industrialized Building System written by Ahmad Firdaus bin Baharuddin and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main problem for construction industry in Malaysia is the late delivery of projects. Due to late delivery of projects, the Government has introduced various strategies to ensure the delivery of projects right on time, as stipulated in the construction contracts. For projects worth more than RM10 millions, the Government has imposed the use of Industrialized Building System (IBS). Although, the Government has done a lot of promotions and efforts towards encouraging the use of IBS system, however, the contractors' response towards it is vital to improve the future of our construction industry. This research is carried out by circulating sets of questionnaires to contractors who are registered with Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB). The focus is given to Grade G7 contractors because they are entitled to bid for work starting RM10 million and above. Secondary data is collected from IBS Centre and through some reading from industry publications such as ICU Weekly Performance Report, IBS Digest and others. Some of the data related to IBS system is collected through communications with industry experts and professionals. Most of the respondents are Bumiputra. They have undertaken three (3) or less IBS projects. Almost 90 percent of completed projects come from public sector development plans. From the survey, it is found that 71.3 percent preferred the use of pre-cast concrete system followed by pre-fabricated timber system with 13.9 percent. Only 47.8 percent of projects complied with the minimum requirement IBS score of 70 points and above. 65.2 percent of respondents did not know about Treasury Circular imposing the use of IBS system. 71.3 percent agreed that through their experience, the use of IBS system was moderate. However, most of the respondents agreed that IBS method will succeed in the future between the year 2016 to 2020.
