| description | After the primary researches on constructability issue which were implemented in
United States, United Kingdom and Australia, more explorations were applied on that in
order to assess this unique scientific fact in East Asian country of Malaysia. Based on the
latest researches done on constructability concept in Malaysia, the most Critical
Constructability Activities (CCAs) are defined according to amount of contractors’
participation in each activity and amount of gap between actual and potential effects of
each of them on achieving the overall objectives of the construction projects with more cost
and time savings and better quality which is the whole aim of a beneficial constructability
activity. The present research aims to assess the current findings on CCAs in order to
identify the types of contractors and projects which these CCAs are getting performed in
and also the types of contracts is used in these CCAs. Finally it was found that there are
some significant differences in amount of contractors’ involvement in CCAs among
various considered independent variables. This study uses the former researches to help
Malaysian construction stakeholders to find out the barriers of constructability
implementation in building projects via giving more details on application of CCAs among
different IVs. |
