Abstract. Recent developments in quantity surveying (QS) emphasised the importance of identifying cost significant elements (CSE). The knowledge on CSE of high-rise condominium projects (HRCP) is essential as high-rise residential multi-unit projects are the next option in building construction due to limited land areas in urban areas. This study aims to determine the levels of awareness among QS undergraduates of a private university in Malaysia on CSE of HRCP in Malaysia. The respondents' knowledge on CSE has not achieved a satisfactory level. Both male and female respondents have the same levels of awareness on CSE. Remedial strategies to improve this situation are recommended.
Project management is an important skill that determines the success or failure of a project. The Japanese project management (JPM) methods, namely Project and Program Management (P2M) and Kaikaku Project Management (KPM), are innovated project management methodologies that have been proven to be effective. This paper presents a critical review of its key features and elements in terms of its philosophy, management tools and project models. The research findings will eventually bring awareness and provoke interest in organizations worldwide to implement or apply the methods if found to be suitable in their project management processes.
