Abstract

The main purpose of this research is to identify the critical barriers and the most important criteria needed in implementing PPVC. In Construction Industry, PPVC is a construction method whereby free-standing volumetric modules complete with all the finishes at the factory and delivered the works to the site and assembled it. In this modern area as the technology awareness rise globally, the trend of construction industry also slowing increase the efficient technologies. Sustainability in the construction industry is important and we need to find more innovation method to improve efficient productivity in quality, time and cost. Apart from that, quantitative research method which is questionnaire survey form is carried out to collect data for the research study. The reason that using questionnaire survey form because the process simple, short and proceed in a logical sequence. Besides that, the survey response analysis is using SPSS‟s frequency analysis to analyse the data and find out the rank of the answer selected by the respondents. The results have achieve the first objective which is identify the 3 critical barriers in implementing PPVC in the construction industry which is skill and knowledge, finance resources and higher cost of equipment and machinery. Furthermore, the results have achieve the second objective which is identify the 3 most important criteria needed in implementing PPVC which is hiring expert‟s worker, training class and quality control in production. This study will bring the benefit to the workers in the Construction Industry. All the workers can gain more knowledge in the new technology as the PPVC technology through the training class. The Employer also will gain the benefit from this research through the set of criteria that identified in this research. Through implementing criteria needed in PPVC, this will improve efficient productivity in quality, time and cost.
