Construction Management In The Construction Industry In Malaysia

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

Nowdays, the construction sector in Malaysia is one of the very important and can contribute to the country's economic rise. Various employment opportunities available to the parties involved in the construction -based business can also help economic growth. In the next 30 years, the construction industry in Malaysia will continue to increase due to the increasing demand for transport, education, housing, water supply and others. This is assumed by the Construction Industry Board Malaysia (CIDB) for construction sector rising nowadays.

In general , management can be defined as a management relating to the affairs or carry out an activity are using certain skills and techniques to obtain the goal of a job. For an organization , the management of each individual group is very important for achieving the objectives of the management . This will improve the efficiency of using limited resources management and efficient to manage an organization. (Kreitner, 1983).

Construction management refers to management activities related to the service or common task for architects, engineers and others parties related to building construction programs. These activities are carried out at the concept planning stage, pre design, design and construction phases contribute to the control of time, cost and quality of construction of new facilities. Meanwhile, the project means a series of activities that have a specific purpose, the beginning and the end of the right to achieve objectives effectively using the resources that are allocated efficiently and correctly. (Punmia & Khandelwal, 1989)

If waste materials are reduced and recycled, the construction industry will be more meaningful and beneficial to consumers in the future.

Indirectly, all parties involved in the construction sector by reducing wastage of construction wastes. 28% to 35% contributing to the cost of building materials. If this construction waste control, costs can also be reduced.(Skoyles,1975). Many benefits and advantages to be gained by the implementation of waste management in construction activity. Once you know the constraints in the process of waste materials management, thus able to give an advantage in the case study areas and methods to improve weaknesses in the management of construction waste will be determined.
