“…A review of the literature reveals that many researchers have discussed ways to solve the project administration problems that arise during the construction stage, including Al-Mayahi et al (2018), Ismail et al (2012) and Tung et al (2021). However, this paper focuses on the variation order models that are used extensively worldwide to reduce the frequency of construction variation orders.…”

Variation orders are a frequent occurrence in the construction phase of Malaysian building projects. Increased construction time and costs are inevitable when variation orders appear. The aim of the current research is to identify the effectiveness of a "cost and time model" in controlling variation orders during the construction of residential projects in Malaysia. The model was derived from a literature review, which also examined how case studies and data have been utilised to identify the causes and effects of variation orders. These were analysed using multiple linear regression analysis. Three independent variables were identified as significant positive causes, while two dependent variables were determined to be the effects of a variation order. The independent variables signify the owner’s changes to the scope of work, construction materials and procedures, as well as their modifications to the specifications. The cost and duration of the project is the dependent variables. The model developed was found to be suitable in practice and the authors propose its application in the early stages of residential construction projects to control the occurrence of variation orders in such projects in Malaysia.

“…In creating a healthy and safe environment for the students and teachers, schools need to transform by leveraging technology in surviving this health crisis. The integration of digital technologies in the construction industry has created the existence of smart buildings (Tung et al, 2021). Smart buildings which were previously used to improve building efficiency can now be used to create a safe and healthy environment.…”

The COVID-19 outbreak brought challenges to the education sector in Malaysia as schools were shut down and later on, operate under strict standard operating procedures (SOP) and guidelines. This situation caused inconvenience to school authorities as the education process was significantly affected. Smart building systems that integrate various technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), mechanisms and robotics and building management systems allow school authorities to operate the schools under the new norm. Therefore, this research was conducted to propose a safe operation of the physical teaching and learning process in schools by leveraging smart building systems. A qualitative method was adopted which involved the participation of five schools in Kedah. Findings revealed that smart building systems are suitable to be implemented in schools to create a safe environment and operation for the physical teaching and learning process under the new norm.

“…It outlines the strategic approach and operational procedures for integrating and using BIM on a designated project. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many projects encompass risks that can be categorized as unpleasant risks and positive risks (Zamani et al, 2021;Ahmad et al, 2023;Tung et al, 2021) . The pandemic has inevitably resulted in catastrophic consequences for various industries of the world economy (Tan & Abdul-Samad, 2022).…”

The successful implementation of Building Information Modelling (BIM) is contingent upon effectively executing BIM Execution Plans (BEPs). This study aims to investigate the causes that contribute to the development of ineffective BEPs that ultimately result in construction project failures. Interview data with twenty BIM professionals were collected on causes contributing to the development of ineffective BEPs. The collected data was analyzed using thematic analysis. The analysis revealed three categories contributing to ineffective BEPs: people, process, and technology. There are 11, 6, and 1 causes related to people, process, and technology, respectively. The finding suggests that incompetency, lack of knowledge in BIM, individual attitude, poor data management, and insufficient technology used are the causes that contribute to ineffective BEPs. The outcomes of this study offer substantial insights into the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry in developing effective BEPs, thereby ensuring the successful delivery of BIM-based construction projects.
