INTRODUCTION The Double Skin Facade is a European architectural trend driven mostly by to increased transparency; noises polluted and reduce the energy that used in building. In recent years, the use of double skin facade was referred to "building to building". It has gained a lot of popularity throughout the world, due to characteristics such as durability, ecology, easy circulation of fresh air and use of natural resources. This type of structure requires many sided technical and architectu...
In the Construction industry, cost planning is a vital management process for control the overrun cost of project and gets maximum returns to the client within agreed budget. Generally Quantity Surveyor as a Cost Manager who is involve to prepare cost planning and cost controlling process for specific stages of project with respect to the RIBA plan of work. There are some significant estimating methods for cost planning process utilize in construction project. Hence those methods give prelimi...

The construction industry has always had a high level of fatalities, major injuries and incidents of ill-health when compared with other sectors. Great Britain is reported to be approximately four times higher fatal accidental injury rates in the construction industry, although many laws and regulations has been issued to related parties involving to construction put a lot of efforts since the 19th century. However it is believed that health and safety system has stood the test of time and th...
In order to reduce the accident rate in construction industry, many government statutory bodies and local authorities play their role on enforce the legislation on the issue of safety and health in construction industry. But the result show that the accident rates in construction industry involve death and injury is still high. On the other word mean, the rate still in anxiety level. So research on safety issue in Malaysia construction need to be conduct to identify why the accident rates sti...
The challenges in the construction industry are of same nature irrespective of geographic locations. The areas of concern in construction project management are timely completion of projects within the allocated cost, also serious concerns about resources utilization and project planning/control measures. Risk management is the art or practice of dealing with risk. It includes planning for risk, assessing (identifying & analyzing) risk issues, developing risk handling strategies, and monitori...
2.1 Introduction In this chapter, the author reviewed works done by others through journals, articles, newspaper cutting, and quotes from authors and online articles collected. IBS system is a process to speed up the construction work and to minimize the dependency of labour on site. The objective of this study is further discussed about the barriers of contractor in implementing IBS. Besides that, this chapter also will focus on the basic review of IBS such as definitions, background, types ...
Many relief scenarios involve the discharge of a two-phase fluid mixture, and the proper method for sizing the relief valve for these conditions is the subject of considerable discussion. Sizing a valve is based on the flow through an isentropic nozzle, the pressure-density relation for the fluid properties, and a discharge coefficient (Kd) to match the calculated mass flux to that measured for the flow of air or water in the actual valve. For single-phase flow, this is straightforward, since...
Nowadays, the construction industry in Malaysia has been growing rapidly due to the advancement of technology, thereby enhancing the quality and safety level of the building. Previously, the construction industry in Malaysia have faced many problems relating to the unsafe condition of construction site, duration of the delay, waste of building materials, increasing of using foreign workers and building material's quality out of control.

Risk management is the art or practice of dealing with risk. It includes planning for risk, assessing (identifying & analyzing) risk issues, developing risk handling strategies, and monitoring risks to determine how they have changed. My core area of works is in the field of engineering consultancy for various road projects in Dubai, which includes project planning and monitoring the performance of these projects, most of the times we face delays as well as cost overrun at these projects. Int...
