- Abstract:
This paper is focused upon the development, appraisal and validation of strategies to remove or alleviate the constraints identified in resources and functions within the processes of construction procurement in Malaysia. This is achieved by the development of methodologies for this purpose, which could be repeated in time or adopted in other countries. Respondents in the study were Malaysian organizations involved in the processes of construction procurement in Malaysia. A range of strategies was identified which could be implemented to remove or to alleviate the constraints identified in construction procurement processes. In supporting the proposed strategies, respondents emphasize the important role of government in implementing the strategies to ensure that sufficient importance is given to the strategies and that adequate pace is achieved in their implementation.
