ABSTRACT

Construction industry in Malaysia is one of the major cornerstones that the other

industries are depending on it in order to contribute to Malaysias Gross Domestic

Product (GDP). However, the construction industry is performing slowly in delivering

construction products. This is due to the fact that construction industry is very

complicated to compare to other industries in Malaysia; in term of the method of

application. This inefficient deliver-ability of construction industry has came to the

extend of the usage of Industrialised Building System (IBS) in Malaysia; which it has

emerged to the introduction of Modular Construction. Modular Construction is newly

implemented in this country that has the same application like IBS but in a 3D version.

The usage of modular construction among construction players needs few

considerations that has to be taken into account. Justification and opinions from

parties involved like contractors, suppliers, clients, stakeholders and the developers

plays important roles in ensuring the deliver-ability of the usage of modular

construction. Thus, this research is conducted to establish Critical Consideration

Factors that needs to be taken prior to adopting Modular Construction in Malaysia

using few methods; like analysing the data collected from questionnaires in order to

achieve the mean of the research.
