“…It ranges from '0' for a complete unreliable test to '1' for completely reliable test (Hinton et al [17], Pallant [18], Coakes and Ong [19]). Nunally [20] suggests in the range of 0.50-0.60, while Hinton et al [17], Takim [21], and Takim et al [22] suggest the scale range of 0.50-0.75. Table 3 shows the result for the reliability based on the Cronbach's Alpha value.…”

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a systematic process used to model information involving the use of computer-generated (n-dimensional) software to simulate the planning, design, construction, and operation of a building. Currently, BIM technology is an important approach used by most project clients (public and private) to boost project effectiveness in terms of time, cost and quality of construction projects to meet client demand. However, previous studies showed that BIM-based project implementation in Malaysia faces greater challenges due to project attributes that causes low demand of project clients to adopt BIM. Hence, the purpose of the paper is to investigate the impact of project attributes towards client demand by adopting BIM across project life cycle. A crosssectional survey was conducted in Malaysia among the three project stakeholders: the public sector, private sector, and contractors using BIM for their projects. Seven (7) significant project attributes (i.e., feasibility, definition, duration, project location, objectives, size and type) and three (3) triangle of client demand (i.e., time; cost; quality) were subjected to Parametric Pearson Correlation. The results showed that there exist a significant relationship between the project attributes and client demand. The results suggest that project clients (public and private) should take a consideration of project attributes in fulfilling the client demand at the early stage of project commencement to maximize the BIM benefits to other stages of construction.

“…In relation to that, R1 and R3 alleged that transparency as one of the practical measures is taken to curtail corruption. It is in-line with Takim et al (2013) by which transparency is an essential precondition for containing corruption. It is suggested that any method that helps ensure quality, timely delivery at the reasonable cost is a transparency strategy.…”

Hospitals themselves vulnerable to numerous types of disasters and can get damaged risking the lives of human being. To a certain extent, despite hard resilience (structural and non-structural), human behavior is one of the contributing factors affecting the hospital's capability in achieving disaster resilience. Hence, the objectives of the paper are twofold: to explore human weaknesses; and to investigate strategies for achieving disaster resilience for existing public hospitals. Qualitative research techniques employed in the form of focus group approach. The findings revealed that six human weaknesses and five strategies have been asserted by the respondents as of utmost critical.
