Abstract:
The purpose of this research was to study the characteristics
of people in the construction industry in 6 aspects related to
the implementation of the project plans in the 7 areas. This
study collected data from the sample of 517 respondents. The
major findings revealed that most of the respondents graduated
with a bachelor's degree (69.05%). Only 0.97 % of them
graduated with doctoral degree. Most of them (46.03%) were
employees, had 1-5 years of employment (24.95%). Only
14.51% of them aged 16-20 years. Those with higher length of
service had a greater proportion of implementation in the
project according to the project value. The most commonly
used scheme was the Bar Chart (46.00%). 25.10% of them used
The Critical Path Method. However, this method had a higher
proportion of implementation according to the project value.
The implementation of plans according to the project period
found that during the project preparation and the bidding
period, the project owner had higher use of the plan than the
contractor. However, in the pre-construction phase and the
construction phase, the contractor will use the plan more than
the project owner's side. The implementation of project
management plans was found to be the most commonly used
in the first three areas. 1. Controlling project duration > 85.00%
2. Preparing an action plan > 75.00% 3. Progress report > 70.00%.
The contractors had greater implementation rate than the
project owner in all aspects. This implied that as a construction
project increases the project value, the project owner and
contractor will also use the program to manage the construction
project as the project value increases
