2. Title: COMPARATIVE STUDY ON REFURBISHMENT PROJECT PROCESS OF GOVERNMENT AND NON GOVERNMENT ORGANISATION IN MALAYSIA

3. TABLE OF CONTENT Title Introduction Method Case Study Results Discussion Conclusion

4. INTRODUCTION Refurbishment describes as renovation, rehabilitation, extension, improvement, conversion, modernisation, fitting out and repair which is undertaken on an existing building to permit its reuse for various specified purposes (Young and Egbu, 1994). Refurbishment enormously involved the work from i) simple refitting to altering the existing structure ii) includes cutting and extending both upwards and sideways. These works consist of proper planning, design and construction in order to improve the building function as well as to meet with the client’s satisfaction.

5. INTRODUCTION In Malaysia, it contemplates as a new phenomenon in the refurbishment project. The unlimited life of a building however, require for further improvement and treatment to suit with its function. Refurbishment is another medium of translating the terms of modernization, renovation, rehabilitation and repair which determine as one of the most important economic drivers in the construction industry. Thus, the benefit goes to the property which creates a value added element to the building performance.

6. OBJECTIVE OF STUDY To study and identify the differences in carrying out the refurbishment project’s process by the government and non government organizations. To identify the problem faced by the government and non government organizations in dealing with the refurbishment project’s process. 3) To propose and recommend a standard process of refurbishment project’s among all.

18. RESULTS The following analysis was focus in the problem related to the refurbishment process which achieve the objective of study and summarized as below.( See Table 1) Table 1: Problem related to both organization on the refurbishment project’s process base on the casestudy.

19. DISCUSSION Financial support ~ the availability of SPR in having grants from : Local Authority Funding, Central Government Funding, Regional Development Agency Grants from independent grant making trust Insufficient incentive by the government. Use own resources by the non government organization

20. DISCUSSION Building gazette SPR ~ submit the refurbishment plan to the Royal Commission for endorsement DBKL , by the Department of Town Planning with the power of DBKL’s mayor and submitted to the conservation committee. ~ protected and preserved from any other new development. UDA has limited power in this matter. Public Hearing SPR considered the public hearing process ~ Urged for the resubmission of CF &building maintenance plan This process is not practiced in our country. UDA only provide the maintenance plan for it’s building unlike the DBKL.

21. CONCLUSION Refurbishment process needs some improvement to its practice. Collaborative action among the government organization and non government organization The large stock of obsolete and ageing buildings, are the major factors that will fuel refurbishment sector in the construction industry. Similarly, sustainable refurbishments can lead to greater capital appreciation and rental returns for the buildings.

22. RECOMMENDATION 1) To initiate a standard process for the refurbishment project. 2) Provide a study on application of information technology in planning and control 3) There should be a continuity of relationship. 4) Provide grant scheme and funds. 5) To recommend a standard model of refurbishment project’s process for all. This framework is adopted and modified to suite with the Malaysian Standards.
