It is also provided an overview of extensive critical literature review conducted whereby it leads to the findings that there is a need for GLC implementation framework to improve overall project performance in Malaysia particularly in addressing lean construction (LC) issues. Furthermore, growth of this GLC tools strategy is deemed to contribute significantly towards progressive evolution of the Malaysian construction industry to produce better value, quality and sustainable upcoming construction projects hence improving better quality of life. Currently, research is in the pipeline to ensure this issue can be addressed appropriately.

This research aims to develop an integrated site management system improvement; the team work, the workplace and the materials & machinery for IBS construction. Questionnaire survey was distributed among 314, IBS contractors registered under CIDB. The result revealed that the improvement factors in site management for IBS construction categorised into five which include the management, workplace, work team, safety, and material and equipment. Thus, the research reinforced that the integration of all these factors is significant e towards the improvement of site management system for IBS construction. (C) 2013 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

It was found that the client attributes for the success of the D&B projects in public universities are: developing a clear understanding of project scope, a clear brief thorough assessment of the contractor's proposal, a clear understanding of project costs, fulfilling the end-user requirements, quality finish of the project, completion within the time frame as well as the budget allocated.
