Infrastructure is one of the biggest and significant industries in Malaysia. Proper management in infrastructure development will produce a high-quality product. Many researchers move towards implementing the industrialised building system (IBS) as a key that contributes to increasing the quality of construction projects. Thus, to make sure the IBS method can contribute to a productive and efficient construction development process, good management is required. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate how the implementation of IBS can ease the construction management in infrastructure projects. The method of the study involved a literature review and data collection through a survey questionnaire. The questionnaires were distributed to the respondents involving professionals from the construction project. Data gathered were analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. The results revealed that the majority of the construction players agreed that site works can be reduced if IBS is implemented in the infrastructure project and hence ease the construction management. Encouragement and full support from the government undoubtedly helps to improve the usage of IBS and work productivity in an infrastructure project in Malaysia.
Construction industry plays an important role in the Malaysia economy. One of the factors that contribute to this industry is infrastructure projects. Rework in infrastructure projects can cause the collapse of the Malaysian economy since it is detrimental to project outcomes. However, less attention was given regarding rework within the Malaysian construction industry especially in infrastructure projects. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the rework causes in the infrastructure project at Pulau Pinang. To acquire opinion of professionals from the construction industry about rework causes in infrastructure projects, questionnaires were distributed via Google form and received 52 responses. Data was analysed through SPSS 25.0 and ranked according to the level of importance. From this research, the results revealed that subcontractor factors and design related factors are the major categories that contribute to rework causes. In addition, the study showed that communication effectiveness within owners and changes made at request of the client are the main rework causes which considerably influenced infrastructure projects performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
