Many construction firms in Malaysia suffer a significant setback when the economy crashes due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Following the imposition of restricted movement orders in Malaysia, most construction projects in the country have been put on hold or delayed. This paper identifies the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on construction companies in Malaysia and the appropriate strategies to be adopted to survive the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. The primary data used in this paper were from literature reviews and questionnaire surveys. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software is used for data analysis to achieve the objectives of this study. The major findings indicate that the significant impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic are project delay, tight Covid-19 regulatory compliance, and enhancement of site safety due to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). The strategies adopted by construction companies, among others, are stricter site management to reduce material waste and more stringent financial management. This research is deemed appropriate to facilitate the construction companies in Malaysia with several strategies they can adopt to remain significant to the industry. |
