| description | A good construction plan is the basis for developing the budget and the schedule for
work. Developing the plan is a critical task in the management of construction and is
generally concerned with completing a contract in the shortest possible time compatible with
the budget. On the other hand facilities management provides project participants with good
coordination, communication and encourages the employees to have personal responsibility
in the design and planning process. The objectives of this paper is to explore the role of
facilities management in construction planning, to examine the general perception of the
local construction industry regarding facilities management principles and practices, and to
study how facilities management supports the organizational development, management
process and management of the resources, within the two knowledge areas defined by RIBA
plan of work (pre-production and production).
A questionnaire survey was conducted on those who are involved in construction
planning, viz architects, engineers, quantity surveys and client/developers. One hundred fifty
sets of questionnaires were posted to a selected sample of those professional in four areas:
Kuala Lumpur (40), Selangor (40), Penang (35), Johor (35), 41 of them are replied; mean
importance rating was analyzed on the data.
The results of the survey showed that facilities management in the planning process
gives all parties that are involved in the project the ability to measure their capability in order
to complete the project on time, budget and quality, while keeping the customer and
stakeholders satisfied. Proper planning at the outset makes it easy for design, workplace
enhancement and renovation time of the project be carried out successfully, while reducing
all costs, especially at the operational level. Hence, the general perception of facilities
management in local the industry differs from person to person. |
