CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY TRANSFORMATION PROGRAMME 2016- 2020
In line with the introduction of the 11 th Malaysia Plan, the Construction Industry Transformation Programme( CITP) was launched to contribute to and align with all the issues addressed in Chapter 8 of the national agenda, re-engineering economic growth for greater prosperity through construction transformation from the conventional into a modern, highly productive and sustainable industry. Figure 17 addresses the four key focus areas as highlighted in Chapter 8 of the 11 th Malaysia Plan on re-engineering economic growth for greater prosperity. The construction industry is expected to undergo a full transformation from a conventional into a modern, highly productive and sustainable industry under the CITP blueprint.
Besides demonstrating by 2020 that Malaysia’ s construction industry is a low carbon, sustainable building and infrastructure model, especially to our ASEAN counterparts, the CITP blueprint highlights initiatives that enable faster adoption of the IBS construction technique via the establishment of appropriate economic mechanisms and modern practices. The CITP will also work as a medium to enhance human capital development through extensive collaboration with the governing body and industry players to create a highly qualified workforce. This will ensure that the dependency on foreign labour can be minimised. With the existence of the CITP, the construction industry is expected to maintain double-digit growth this year and to surpass the performance of other economic sectors in the country. In 2012, at the height of the 10 th Malaysia Plan, the construction industry achieved its peak growth of 18.1 %, followed by 10.8 % and 11.8 % in 2013 and 2014 respectively.
The CITP comprises 18 initiatives from four key strategic thrusts; namely quality, safety and professionalism( QSP); environment sustainability; productivity; and internalisation. A number of aims and expected outcomes have been specified for each of the strategic thrusts. Amongst them is creating Malaysian champions who are able to lead the charge locally and globally through internationalisation. As for the environmental sustainability, the key aim of this thrust is to ensure Malaysia’ s sustainable construction industry becomes a model in terms of a low carbon, sustainable building and infrastructure hub for the emerging world, particularly ASEAN countries. This can be achieved through the successful delivery of its expected outcomes such as 100 % of large infrastructure projects exceeding sustainability
