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
