Abstract
This paper is based on a study on the identification of constraints in resources and functions within the processes of construction procurement in Malaysia, and the development of proposed strategies to remove or alleviate the constraints identified. The study employed the triangulation research approach in data sources and analysis. Respondents to the study were Malaysian organizations involved in the processes of construction procurement in Malaysia. The findings of the study suggest the areas of most constraints and the strategies that could be implemented to remove or alleviate the constraints identified.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
