Cost effectiveness comparison of pre-fabrication with conventional construction method for RMAF ground defense bunker

Pre-fabrication construction method is not new in Malaysian construction industry yet the utilization of such method still relatively low. Government should conduct thorough study of pre-fabrication method aspects and implement it widely especially for government based projects including national se...

Pre-fabrication method is a modern construction method that widely use by developed countries and it proven that to be more cost effective and cost saving on the aspect of cost, labor, time, quality and durability. Pilot project of bunker construction in Kuantan Airbase (KAB) has chosen as case study for this research.

Pre-fabrication method was foresees contributed solutions to overcome current problems and furthermore this study identified that pre-fabrication is cost effectiveness for implementation. Recommendations suggested to improve current construction caused problems on site by imposing clear delegations and responsibilities for stakeholders whereas encourage cost information transparency provided by PWD.
