Labor TH Building construction Manpower is one of the most important resources in construction industry. The success and failure of construction project is depending on human and people factor. Therefore, it is understandable that the human factor development is one of many reasons for the economic growth and globalisation competition in the Malaysia’s construction industry as the construction’s performance at site often depends on the manpower activities and its quality of workmanship.

The data obtained was analysed through quantitative and qualitative approach to derive conclusion of the study.
