Researches and economist have stated that the construction industry is a one of the productive sector which contributes to the Gross Domestic Product (GOP) of the country and has held market size about RM 43 billion based on gross output (Fong, 2005).
Apart from this, research that performed by Dlamini (2012), has argue that the construction industry plays main role in economic growth.
