About the Conference

The first ASEAN Quantity Surveying Association (AQSA) Academic Conference 2022 held virtually on
the 18th and 19th of May 2022. AQSA Academic Conference 2022 is the first international conference
in ASEAN that focuses on the embodiment of ASEAN quantity surveying academic community
collaboration in education, research, and professional practice. The Centre of Studies for Quantity
Surveying, Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Surveying, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Shah
Alam, Malaysia, hosted this conference with the theme 'Promoting Learning Through Common Shared
Value, Knowledge-Sharing, and Best Practices'. Co-organizers include the AQSA, the Royal
Institution of Surveyors Malaysia (RISM), the Singapore Institute of Surveyors & Valuers (SISV), the
Philippine Institute of Certified Quantity Surveyors (PICQS), Persatuan Ukur, Jurutera dan Akitek,
Negara Brunei Darussalam (PUJA), and Ikatan Quantity Surveyor Indonesia (IQSI). The AQSA

Chairman of AQSA/ President of BQSM

It gives me immense pleasure to extend a very warm welcome to all of
you present to the 1st Asean Quantity Surveying Association (AQSA)
Academic Conference 2022. I would also like to express our gratitude to
Associate Professor Hasmawati Harun, the head of the organizing
committee, and members of the organizing committee from UiTM. It
was a privilege to get the support of UiTM to host this very first AQSA
academic seminar, as UiTM is one of the premier and oldest universities
offering of Quantity Surveying education in Malaysia, with a long-
established track records and reputations. Many of their graduates
today are leaders in many construction organizations in the Malaysian
construction industry.

AQSA was formed in 2020, and our prime objective is to promote the
mobility and qualification of the Quantity Surveying profession within
the ASEAN region. We hope to achieve this through close friendship,
cooperation and sharing best practices. All through this we hope that,
together we can advance not only quantity surveying practice, but also
contribute to the enhancement of project management knowledge and
competencies within the built environment fraternity. It's no secret that
friendship, cooperation and sharing best practices is the significant way
to improve ourselves. Sharing by networking among ourselves can help
us fill knowledge gaps, improve competency and more.

It is my wish to see that, following this conference, we will be able start collaborating in organizing CPD talks,
seminars, short courses, and training programmes before moving on to do joint research, common classes for
the relevant subjects, student and lecturer exchange programmes. I sincerely hope that we are able to build on
this from our Inaugural Virtual International Quantity Surveyors conference 2022 which was held on 25 – 26th
January 2022. The conference which was supported by the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation
(MATRADE), was mooted to explore business, jobs, and training opportunities within the ASEQN region. While
we have identified several challenges which we need to circumvent before we can have common recognition
for professional services for business, I do not foresee the same problems for the academic activities.
Therefore, I sincerely urged all of you to exploit and take advantage of this opportunity to the fullest. With the
relaxation of the COVID-19 SOPs, we will soon be able to cross border and meet up with each other to organize
these activities.
In the light of the impending IR 4.0 and need for us to support the aspirations of Sustainable Development
Goals (SDG), which is to “develop to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet their own needs” the theme of this conference PROMOTING LEARNING
THROUGH COMMON SHARED VALUE, KNOWLEDGE-SHARING & BEST PRACTICES is most appropriate and
timely.
I would also like to thank the keynotes speakers for providing significant insights to key areas for us to reflect
on, as well as paper presenters and panel discussion members who would be contributing to share knowledge
best practices with all of us.
In closing, I would like to thank the UiTM organizing committee, AQSA main committee members, especially
the secretary Ms Katherine Thiang and presidents of professional institutions, and sponsors for their
contribution to this conference. Also not forgetting participants, academics, and students for their
participations. As chairman of AQSA, I would like to see the initiative mooted by UiTM as the co-host for this
conference be continued to the next organiser next year and year after next.
Happy Conferencing Everyone and Eid Mubarak to all Muslim celebrating their Hari Raya.

A very warm welcome to all our eminent guests, distinguished speakers and participants to the 1st
ASEAN Quantity Surveying Association (AQSA) Academic Conference 2022. It is a delight for us in
UiTM to be the first host of this academic conference since the establishment of AQSA in 2021
organised by Centre of Studies for Quantity Surveying, Faculty of Architecture Planning and
Surveying (FSPU), UiTM together with the ASEAN Quantity Surveying Association (AQSA).

In the ASEAN region, over the past decades the construction industry has contributed significantly
to the economy as an enabler of growth to other industries as well. If we were to look at the ASEAN
context, our industry professionals must be prepared to be at par with other global players, in terms
of capacity, components, and capability to enhance the productivity of our construction industry.
These will ensure greater certainty in areas where clients previously faced performance difficulties
and adversarial problems.

Thus, the hosting of the 1st AQSA Academic Conference is
indeed timely and relevant. This year’s theme "Promoting
Learning Through Common Shared Values, Knowledge-
Sharing and Best Practices". In UiTM, we have pledged to
continuously provide world-class education, to offer
competitive academic programmes that fulfil market needs,
spearhead national development, as well as promoting global
prosperity in line with the university’s vision. UiTM has been
produced at least 1,500 QS alumni for the past 5 years.
Graduates of UITM’s QS programme have proven to be
among the top in Malaysia and the programme itself is
ranked among the Top 200 Architecture / Built Environment
subject in 2022’s QS-World Universities Ranking by Subjects.

I hope that the AQSA Academic Conference will grow in
strength and can serve as a valuable platform to push these
endeavours actively and strategically. I would like to thank all
our guests and speakers for joining us, and I would like to
wish all participants a productive time as we gain insights,
engage in discussions, and strengthen partnerships.

Thank you.
Wabillahi Taufiq Walhidayah Wassalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

Dean of FSPU, UiTM

It is with great pleasure that I welcome all distinguished guests, keynote speakers, and participants to
the 1st Asean Quantity Surveying Association (AQSA) Academic Conference 2022. I am honoured that the
Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Surveying, Universiti Teknologi MARA (FSPU-UiTM), Shah Alam,
Malaysia and the ASEAN Quantity Surveying Association (AQSA) are co-hosting this conference together,
despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. I would like to express my gratitude to AQSA
for the tremendous support, cooperation, and trust.

Our faculty is one of the pioneer institutions offering comprehensive courses in architecture and
construction covering all areas of the built environment. Quantity Surveying is one of the most popular
programmes in the faculty. FSPU was established 55 years ago and to date has produced over 72,000
graduates. It consistently produces high quality professionals through comprehensive learning and
teaching in addressing the current complexities and challenges of the built environment. The main
strength of FSPU is that each program is accredited and recognized by local and international boards and
professional bodies. We in FSPU are very proud with our achievements to be listed in the top 200 QS
World University Ranking by Subject for Architecture / Built Environment for the year 2022.

Adhering to the theme of ‘Generations of Professional Excellence’, FSPU has devised several strategic
initiatives. One of them is to enhance the visibility of FSPU at the national and international levels. As
this conference is the first organized since the establishment of AQSA, FSPU as the co-organiser can
increase its visibility in the eyes of ASEAN countries in particular and the world in general. Likewise, the
participating countries also are able to showcase and broadcast their programs and strengths. As the
dean, I see this collaboration between the Centre of Studies for Quantity Surveying, FSPU and AQSA as
the beginning of many other collaborations that can provide win-win opportunities between members
countries. It strengthens research network among nations, students and staff exchange, global sharing of
lectures and talks, MOU/MOA and many others. FSPU is in the process of establishing the South East
Asia Built Environment Research Centre (SEABERC) as a magnet for researchers to undertake research on
built environment in this region. I would welcome all members to join and collaborate with us.

The highest appreciation is given to all hardworking organising committee of QS FSPU who make this
conference a success. I am confident that everyone will make a significant contribution to this
conference and help make it a remarkable one. Thank you all for participating and I wish a fruitful and
successful conference.

Assalamualaikum and Thank You.

RECONSTRUCTING THE NARRATIVE FOR BUILT ENVIRONMENT,
CONSTRUCTION AND QUANTITY SURVEYING EDUCATION

Abstract
The main purpose of build environment,
construction and quantity survey, is to develop
individuals for fuller and better life, and deliver
infrastructure facilities needed by the people
and environment. In today’s era of rapid
economic and technological change, the
provision for build environment education has
never been more challenged and hurried to
incorporate corporate the changes.
Notwithstanding, shortcomings in the
education provided are becoming apparent, as
can be observed from the adverse effects of
the physical infrastructure facilities developed
by the products of our education.
This paper critically reviews this phenomenon and offers insights to the root
cause of the issues. Central in the discussions are answers to the questions of
“why are the graduates of our education seemingly less aware of the issues
which impact the people and the environment they are developing?” and
“how changes have tended to distort our education provisions?”

KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES THAT QUANTITY
SURVEYORS NEED IN THE 4TH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

Abstract

This study investigates quantity surveying skill sets
for Industry 4.0, assesses the current proficiency
level of junior quantity surveyors (QSs) and
examines the skills deficiency of QSs. Based on an
online survey with practicing QSs, the results show
that junior QSs do not have significantly high
proficiency in 27 of the 47 quantity surveying
skills. 29 skills are currently important but an
additional 13 skills would become more important
for QSs to carve out a commercial edge in Industry
4.0. This study adds to knowledge by empirically
constructing an Importance-Performance Analysis
(IPA) matrix that identifies deficiency in skills sets
among QSs. The IPA matrix reveals the skills
deficiency of QSs to service Industry 4.0.

Areas that need attention are: data management and data literacy skills due to
the growth of digitalization and big data analytics; knowledge in advanced
construction technology arising from the highly automated industries through
human-machine interaction; sustainability knowledge and life cycle costing skills
because design solutions need to be both economically and environmentally
sustainable; and cash flow management capability to ensure project longevity and
profitability. The findings inform employers, QSs and undergraduates on the skills
development areas to carve out a competitive edge in Industry 4.0.

Keywords: Importance-performance analysis; Industry 4.0; Quantity surveyors;
Skills development

MYANMAR POLITICAL UNREST AND PANDEMIC IMPACT THE
CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY

Abstract

Myanmar political unrest started on February 2021 with
Coronavirus (COVID-19) cases rising, activity in Myanmar’s
construction industry has seen a considerable impact on
foreign investment and the progress of many construction
projects. In addition to this, the depreciation of the kyat,
the currency of Myanmar, has contributed to increasing
unemployment. This rise in prices has also affected the
construction industry and production plants, which were
forced to stop operations temporarily or permanently due
to increasing the cost of raw materials. Foreign contractors
and companies are leaving Myanmar due to political risk
and their safety.
The Central Bank of Myanmar instructed all foreign currencies received by
residents and businesses registered in Myanmar must be converted into kyat within
one working day at the central bank's official rate of 1,850 kyat to the dollar. The
official exchange rate is about 8% higher than the unofficial market rate of around
2,000 kyats to the dollar.
Companies working for Projects under government sectors have significant
difficulties of handling projects due to protests, civil wars, material prices increased
the shortage of materials. The payment and claim process has a huge impact due
to banking sectors problem and limited transitions. 60% of government projects are
delayed due to shortage of cash, materials delivery issues, trading policies, and
sanctions. The banks in Myanmar are facing cash shortages. When setting the
project budget estimate, there are many unforeseen circumstances, and the risk for
the construction industry is unpredictable. Quantity Surveyors encountered
handling contracts is very challenging.
Keywords: Banking, Civil wars, Covid 19, Contracts, Delayed, Depreciation,
Exchange rate, Foreign investment, Impact, Political unrest, Political risk, Protests,
Shortage of materials, Unemployment.

Baharuddin Ali & Low Sdn Bhd (BAL or BALOW) has been providing quantity
surveying and construction cost consultancy services since the early 1970’s. At that
time, when the quantity surveying profession was relatively still in its infancy in
Malaysia, we were privileged to be one of the pioneer firms responsible for
establishing the quantity surveying profession to the level of recognition that it is
today. The profession is now well established in the Malaysian construction industry
and quantity surveyors are invariably involved in most major construction projects.

Over the years, we have been commissioned by a variety of clients and have been
involved in a wide variety of projects. Further, the influx of international clients,
design consultants and contractors and claims consultants into Malaysia meant that
the construction industry was exposed to a very challenging international
experience.
