“…The developed model deploys fuzzy analytical network processing for the purpose of calculating the relative importance weights of the factors that affect the competitiveness of construction companies. The Fuzzy Analytic Network process is selected because it proved its efficiency in a wide range of applications such as the condition assessment of bridge decks [45], municipal solid waste management [46], disaster resilience assessment in hospitals [47] and analysis of conflicts' causes in construction projects [48].…”

The construction sector continues to experience significant challenges brought by new techniques and technologies. Hence, there is a dire need for construction companies to address critical issues concerning changing environmental conditions, construction innovations, market globalization and many other aspects, thereby enhancing their competitive edge. Thus, the primary goal for this research is to develop a multi-criteria decision making model that would consider and evaluate all essential factors in determining the competitiveness index of construction companies. In the developed model, three new pillars (3P) for competitiveness are introduced: (1) non-financial internal pillar; (2) non-financial external pillar; and (3) financial pillar. The 3P includes 6 categories and 26 factors that are defined and incorporated in the developed assessment model for the purpose of measuring the companies’ competitiveness. The weights for the identified factors are computed using fuzzy analytical network process (FANP) to diminish the uncertainty inherited within the judgment of the respondents. The weight of factors and their affiliated performance scores are used as an input for the preference ranking organization method for enrichment evaluation (PROMETHEE II) technique. In this regard, PROMETHEE II is undertaken as a ranking technique to prioritize any given construction company by determining its respective competitiveness index. The developed model is validated through five cases studies that reveal its potential of illustrating detailed analysis with respect to the competitive ability of construction companies. A sensitivity analysis is carried out to determine the most influential factors that affect the competitiveness of construction companies. It is anticipated that the developed evaluation model can be used in the decision-making process by all parties involved in construction projects. For instance, contractors can leverage the evaluation model in taking better decisions pertinent to the markup values. In addition, it can benefit employers in the evaluation process of contractors.

“…define conflict as uncertainty, challenge, disagreements, or conflict in conflicting actions between two or more parties. While Chaturvedi et al, (2021) added that conflicts could be defined as severe disagreements between parties involved due to the different ideologies, beliefs and interests. This can be seen that conflicts will involve more than two parties.…”

“…Due to this, Kamaruddeen et al, (2019) stress that when conflict arises, it took 25% of the time to resolve the conflict. There are several types of conflict known as intra-personal conflicts, interpersonal conflicts, intra-group conflicts, inter-group conflicts, and intra-organizational conflicts as mentioned by (Brockman, 2014;Chaturvedi et al, 2021;Okuntade, 2015). Interpersonal conflicts exist when two construction players have different expectations, principles and interests.…”

“…The contractor needs to ensure that the construction project is completed within the agreed time, cost and quality. If any dispute or conflict arises during the construction project, this will delay the contractor's work progress (Rauzana, 2016;Chaturvedi et al, 2021). Subsequently, this will affect the total construction cost as well as the construction period.…”

Conflicts among construction players during the construction stage are a common occurrence. It became an unavoidable issue and negatively impacted the project's overall performance in terms of time, cost, work quality and productivity as well as damage to the business relationship. Therefore, this research aims to identify the factors contributing to the conflicts among construction players during the construction stage. To achieve the research objective, the questionnaire survey was selected as the research methodology. This research was conducted in Kota Bharu, Kelantan and the respondents for this study can be categorized into two (2) categories: contractor and consultant. The data was analyzed by using descriptive analysis from the SPSS software. Based on the data collected, lack of communication is a major factor in conflict arising among the construction players involved during the construction stage. The data obtained through this research can help resolve or reduce the occurrence of conflict and protect the interest of all the construction players involved during the construction stage in the future.
