Abstract

Late delivery and sick housing project problems were attributed to poor decision making. These problems are the string of housing developer that prefers to create their own approach based on their experiences and expertise with the simplest approach by just applying the obtainable standards and rules in decision making. This paper seeks to identify the decision making methods for housing development at the initiation phase in Malaysia. The research involved Delphi method by using questionnaire survey which involved 50 numbers of developers as samples for the primary stage of collect data. However, only 34 developers contributed to the second stage of the information gathering process. At the last stage, only 12 developers were left for the final data collection process. Finding affirms that Malaysian developers prefer to make their investment decisions based on simple interpolation of historical data and using simple statistical or mathematical techniques in producing the required reports. It was suggested that they seemed to skip several important decision- making functions at the primary development stage. These shortcomings were mainly due to time and financial constraints and the lack of statistical or mathematical expertise among the professional and management groups in the developer organisations.

Abstract

Conflict communication among developer and their team at all times happened due to limited financial information. A developer does not automatically construct a unit that will convince the recipients since they have their own viewpoint and mind of their needs, objectives, obstructions, and necessities of economic aspect. A decision is very hard to be made on the housing unit since the recipients have variance on numerous economic issues. This paper aims to identify the economic decision making information for housing development at the initiation phase in Malaysia. Delphi method is implemented in 3 rounds using a questionnaire survey which involved 34 private developers for data collection purposes. The finding shows that authority policies, a market of housing and timing (life cycle of a project) are most necessary information in the economic part. All of the economic information also illustrates that they are crucial and key factors in the decision-making process. The stages in the initiation phase require economic information in the form of a qualitative data bank of a developer.
