Buildability seeks to improve efficiency of the overall building process by developing construction sensitive designs. The objective of this study is to investigate the relative importance of the key performance indicators of construction projects with respect to buildability at the design stage in the Malaysian construction industry. To achieve this objective, a questionnaire survey was distributed among key construction personnel to identify the most common buildability attributes in Malaysia. Then, an interview with eight construction professionals was conducted to compare the common buildability attributes with project performance criteria such as time, cost, quality, safety, and environment. The results reveal the equal importance of time and cost for buildability of the building, followed by quality, safety, and the environment.

Buildability is increasingly becoming a major requirement in building construction practice. The aim of buildability is to improve efficiency of the overall building process by developing construction sensitive designs. The objective of this study is to develop a model to assess the buildability of the buildings within Malaysian construction projects. To achieve the objective of this study, a structured interview with an expert panel, including 30 construction professionals, was conducted to compare the common buildability attributes with common construction systems for building structure in Malaysia using analytical hierarchy process (AHP). The proposed model to assess the buildability of the construction buildings was evaluated and the model was amended to fulfill the requirements of the construction industry in Malaysia. Results of this study are useful to evaluate the design of the buildings within Malaysian construction projects, thus saving time, cost, and enhancing quality.

Building construction projects suffer from many dangers such as cost and time overruns. A major reason for the failure of such projects is the lack of measurements of the construction performance. There is usually a disparity of judgment among the stakeholders when it comes to the perception of failure and success of a building construction project because it is based on personal indices. The aim of this study is to identify and rank the key performance indicators in their relative importance as a way to assist in building construction performance. A thorough literature review was conducted and 10 key performance indicators were identified. A questionnaire survey and interviews were used to collect data and the results were analyzed using the analytical hierarchical process, pair-wise comparison. As a result, the highest prioritized key performance indicator was safety, followed by time effectiveness and client satisfaction. The least prioritized key performance indicator was the environmental performance. The results of this paper may serve as a guideline in improving building construction projects.

There is increasing pressure from developers toward architects and engineers to deliver scientifically sound proposals for often complex and cost-intensive construction products. An increase in digitalization within the construction industry and the availability of intelligently built assets and overall sustainability make it possible to customize a construction product. This servitization of construction products is assumed to perform much preferably in satisfying stakeholders’ physical, psychological, and social needs. The degree to which these products are performing can be evaluated through an evidence index. This article aims to introduce a conceptual model of an evidence index and test it in the programming stage of a case study. The investigation follows the evidence-based design approach and renders evidence through key performance indicators in the programming stage of the building process. For testing the concept, a case study investigation was performed by simulating a novice research assistant, and the amount of evidence was collected and appraised for evidence index. The case study showed that key performance indicators of a servitized project could be evaluated on a four-point scale. The quality of the evidence index generation depended on the level of expertise the evaluator has in research and the skilful use of scientific databases.

<em><span>Global business competition greatly increased sharply in Indonesia, including in the food market. To succeed and grow in the competition, an organization should use measurement and management systems derived from the strategies and capabilities of the company. CV. Eka Sari is a company engaged in the field of catering, where business activity in CV. Eka Sari is more focused on providing the bread and cakes. The continued development of the catering business, demanding CV. Eka Sari to improve in every aspects of company performance, so that the company can remain competitive with other companies. Therefore, CV. Eka Sari is in need of performance measurement that aims to evaluate and plan its performance in order to achieve organizational goals. Performance measurement methods used by the company is Integrated Performance Measurement System (IPMS), which is a method that measures the performance of an integrated and based on the wishes of stakeholders. Objectives are determined to meet the wishes of stakeholders, so that will be determined key performance indicators. From the results of the identification, obtained 22 key performance indicators. To determine the performance criteria that need more attention then be weighted. Weighting is done using Hierachy Analytical Process (AHP). Weighting results generated from that aspect that must be considered are aspects of the process, then the performance criteria that must be considered, namely improving the efficiency and effectiveness of production, and Key Performance Indicators to be very aware of is the number of defective products.</span></em>
