CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY TODAY

CONSTRUCTION TIME OVERRUN

Time Delay can be due to one or more reasons including problems

of financing and payment for completed works, poor contract

management, changes in site conditions, shortage of materials,

design changes, weather condition, etc.

Initial conceptionalisation not captured and formalised before

calling of Tenders – changes during construction.

Integrated Master Implementation Programme.

CONSTRUCTION COST OVERRUN

The factors identified that contribute to cost overrun : lack of

contractor’s experience, poor site management and supervision,

inaccurate time and cost estimates, schedule delay, frequent

design changes, fluctuation of prices of materials, cash flow and

financial difficulties faced by contractors.

Construction carried out according the specification and detail

construction drawings.

Materials approving committee

Method statement

Site management and control of works (QA/QC)

CONSTRUCTION QUALITY

EXCESSIVE RESOURCES CONSUMPTION

Built environment has significant impact on resources : consuming

1/6 of the world’s freshwater withdrawals, 1/4 of wood harvest and

2/5 of materials.

About 40% of the energy used is linked to the construction and

maintenance of buildings.

Excessive resource and energy use : Resulted in growing demand

for raw materials, are largely responsible for the depletion of

natural resources worldwide, acceleration of global warming and

detrimental wastage affecting our ecological integrity.

CONSTRUCTION WASTE

Construction waste can be generated because of one or more

reasons including frequent design changes, poor quality of

materials, workers' mistakes during construction, poor

planning, poor site management, ordering errors, materials

not in compliance with specification, effect of weather, etc.

ENVIRONMENTAL THREAT

Environmental Threat due to built environment : It consumes large

amounts of natural resources and produces a great deal of

pollutants.

Ethics of construction players: Not serious about environmental

protection at construction sites, assume that a construction site is

only a temporary setup, ignoring source of pollutants

CO2 emission : Contributing to the global warming and extreme

weather.

Other Impacts : The harvest of timber leads to the lost of natural

forests, widespread use of toxic chemicals in materials.

Site clearings for development especially on slopes, etc.

SCHEME OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION

In November 1994, the First International Conference on Sustainable

Construction held in Tampa, Florida, USA, the conference convener

Kibert defined sustainable construction as, “Creating a healthy built

environment using resource-efficient, ecologically-based

principles”. Sustainable construction involves a commitment to:

Economic sustainability – increasing profitability by making more efficient

use of resources, including labour, materials, water and energy.

Environmental sustainability – preventing harmful and potential irreversible

effects on the environment by careful use of natural resources,

minimizing waste, protecting and where possible enhancing the

environment.

Social sustainability – responding to the needs of people at whatever stage

of involvement in the construction process (from commissioning to

demolition), providing high customer satisfaction and working closely with

clients, suppliers, employees and local communities

OBJECTIVES OF SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION

Environmental dimension:

Increase material efficiency by reducing the material demand of non-renewable goods

Reduce the material intensity via substitution technologies

Enhance material recyclability

Reduce and control the use and dispersion of toxic materials

Reduce the energy required for transforming goods and supplying services

Support the instruments of international conventions and agreements

Maximize the sustainable use of biological and renewable resources

Consider the impact of planned projects on air, soil, water, flora, and fauna.

THE IMPACT OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT

OBJECTIVES OF SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION

Economic dimension:

Consider life-cycle costs

Internalize external costs

Consider alternative financing mechanisms

Develop appropriate economic instruments to promote sustainable

consumption

Consider the economic impact on local structures.

Social dimension:

Enhance a participatory approach by involving stakeholders

Promote public participation

Promote the development of appropriate institutional frameworks

Consider the influence on the existing social framework

Assess the impact on health and the quality of life.

GREEN BUILDINGS

Green building practices are:

environmentally responsible and resource-efficient

to promote building practices that conserve energy and water

resources, preserve open spaces.

to minimise the emission of toxic substances

to harmonise with the local climate, traditions, culture and the

surrounding environment

to sustain and improve the quality of human life

maintaining the capacity of the ecosystem at local and global levels.

GOOD PROJECT MANAGEMENT PRACTISE

The Concept & Role of PM in Construction Industry

The Rightful Roles :

- The Client determines the WHAT.

- The Construction industry determines the HOW.

- The Construction Industry is obligated to results,

based on key role of Project Management in

conceptual development, optimisation of know-how

and innovative processes.

- Independent role of Project Management in protecting

Client’s overall interest is assured as it is the

Project Managers main interest.

- Independent Project Management will result in

the right balance throughout the Project between

Budget, Quality, Time, Information & Organization

forcing all involved Parties to clearly focused on

Client’s aim and objectives.

- The (non-technical) Client can focus on his

principal role in the Project without placing

a load on his organization. Thus, retaining his

valuable resources for his Core Business.

Industrialized Building System (IBS)

It must be mentioned here that the traditional in-situ construction practices leads to large wastage in the form of timber used for formworks, excess material, errors in dimensions and measurements, high labour utilisation leading to high social costs and other forms of temporary works.

The use of offsite construction can eliminate the problem of wastage substantially and reduce construction time.

Industrialized Building System (IBS)

However, due to ease of securing relatively

cheaper foreign labour innovative construction

technology and techniques has not made a

significant impact on the Malaysian

construction industry and as much, cannot

provide the economies of scale that is needed

to transform the construction industry from

one that is labour intensive, to one that is

technology intensive.

Industrialized Building System (IBS)

Definition of Industrialized Building Systems (IBS)

Comparison:

Offsite construction – UK

Modern Method of Construction - MMC

• “A construction technique in which components

are manufactured in a controlled environment (on

or off site), transported, positioned and

assembled into a structure with minimal

additional site works”

VALUE ENGINEERING

VALUE ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMNET

Value Management and life cycle costing is about managing

overall development process by making the appropriate

decisions when one moves from one phase of development

to the other based on 5 basic controls:-

TIME, COST, QUALITY, ORGANIZATION and INFORMATION

It does not happen by chance or when the need arise. It has

to be planned and structured to make it happened

affectively.

Value management is NOT just a cost cutting exercise.

AUTOMATED CONSTRUCTION

According to the Architectural Institute of Japan, 150 types of

construction robots have been developed in the field of building

construction.

Robots category

Robots for structure construction works, including fire-proofing, steel

welding, iron-bar placing, concrete placing, concrete finishing, and remote wire-

releasing.

Robots for work completion, including exterior wall spraying, ceiling panel

placing, and light-weight wall panel handling.

Robots for inspection works, including outer wall tile inspection, and clean

room inspection.

Robots for maintenance works, including coating glass cleaning, and floor

cleaning.

A total of 12 systems has been thus far developed by eight

construction companies and introduced on more than 20 construction

sites.

THE FUTURE OF SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION

Summit on the Global Agenda, Dubai, UAE, 7-9 Nov.

2008

"Teach your children what we have taught

ours, that the earth is our mother. Whatever

befalls the earth befalls the sons of the

earth. The earth does not belong to man;

man belongs to the earth. Man did not weave

the web of life; he is merely a strand in it. We

do not inherit the earth from our ancestors;

we borrow it from our children."

THE GREAT leader of the Native American Suquamish

Tribe, Chief Seattle or See-ahth

Contribution : plays vital role in economic growth, helps in improving the quality of life of its citizens

Negative Impacts : implication to the environment and social aspect of the country, emission of CO2 by buildings contributed to the global warming and extreme weather

Resource Consumption : About 40% of the world's resource and energy use is linked to the construction and maintenance of buildings.

Green building approach : environmentally responsible and resource-efficient, promotes building practices that conserve energy and water resources, preserve open spaces, reduce energy consumption up to 50%, CO2 emission up to 39%, water used up to 40% and finally reduction in solid waste up to 70%.

Advanced technological methods : Lean techniques, Good Project Management Practise, Industrialized Building System (IBS), Building Information Modelling (BIM), Value Engineering (VE), Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) etc.

Malaysia’s construction industry should move forward to adopt

modern construction methods and green building practices in-line with the aspirations of world

community in combating global environment
