Abstract

The main purpose of this research is to improve the effectiveness of information management in small medium sized building contractor companies. A quantitative questionnaire survey has been conducted to determine the current practice of information management among the contractor companies. Analysis has shown that the cost and equipment information are the best managed information. In contrast, material information is being ranked at last on the effectiveness of management. Therefore, further study has been conducted in order to address the material information management issue. It has been found out that most of the respondents adopted ICT in managing material information, but its effectiveness is not satisfying. The setback that are disappointing the industry players are such as the software is not user-friendly, and it does not give any direct benefit for the users in winning a tender. Hence, a web-based information system is developed by considering all the feedbacks from the industry with the goal of improving the effectiveness of information management. The main function of the system is to record any material transaction made. Secondary functions such as suppliers' transaction history checking, material quality rating, and ordering point notification are also provided in order to improve the material information management of target population. The system proposed had been validated by the industrial players where a number of respondents were approached to try the system by themselves. Lastly, it is recommended to integrate all the information management in one system as this can greatly increase the productivity and efficiency of the company.
