The procuder of renovation project / Nurul Hidayah Mohd Noor

Construction projects inside Malaysia are plagued by schedule overruns that can change what should have been successful projects, into those generating additional expenditures, conflicts, litigation and in some cases abandonment. The goal of this article is to look into Malaysian project characteristics in connection to schedule overruns in order to better comprehend the problem. In total, 150 Malaysian quantity surveying firms gave information on recent projects on which they had worked. New construction and renovation projects, public and private sectors, procurement techniques, project nature, and tendering processes are all factors examined in the research. Findings – Public sector projects were found more prone to overruns than those in the private sector; refurbishment projects experienced better time performance than new build; construction management demonstrated better time performance than design-build or traditional procurement; and infrastructure projects/negotiated tendering, performed better than selective/open tendering, respectively. The study also established a linear model to forecast project length, based on contract time. The study adds a regionally specific thorough analysis to the existent literature of project performance generally and to that of schedule overruns more specifically. The findings provide stakeholders with information that could help reduce the frequency of building project delays, particularly in Malaysia. Time overrun analysis and modelling in regard to Malaysian project features.
