View through CrossRef
The Government has clearly put focus on MCS as the future of construction through the Construction 4.0 Strategic Plan (2021-2025) and National Construction Policy 2030. However, the implementation of MCS in Malaysia is still low due to lack of technical expertise. This study aims to explore the challenges and strategies in achieving sufficient technical expertise to drive construction players in adopting MCS. Exploratory interviews were conducted with MCS experts to obtain multiple views in enhancing technical expertise to implement MCS in construction business. Respondents were obtained through snowball sampling techniques by approaching expert personnel in MCS. Findings were then analysed using thematic analysis, discovering four main challenges that impede adoption of MCS and four aspects of strategies identified to enhance technical expertise in MCS. The exploratory nature of this study provides the preliminary indicators for future actions to drive the adoption of MCS in developing countries.
