5. CURRICULUM VITAE
The TOR leave no doubt as to the expectations of the Client, with the
following aspects specifically identified as requiring investigation as part of
the study on the Study On Sustainable Development Of Construction Industry
With Special Focus On Human Resource And Skills Requirement:
14
6.4 Scope of Services
The tasks and responsibilities of the consultant are to deliver the objectives
of the study which includes but is not limited to the following:
Stage One - Inception will include project mobilisation, introductory Client and
key stakeholder consultations, joint finalisation of methodology approach,
and commencement of data collection. The focus will be upon identifying key
data sources and instigating data collection, especially with regard to
Construction industries sustainability for the next 15 years.
Stage Two Multi-Sectoral Appraisal and Review will be one of the most
intensive periods of project activity as secondary data will continue to be
assembled, collated and analysed. An intensive programme of Consultations
with the Client and with all other key Government Departments and
16
Agencies, as well as private sector and relevant stakeholders, will also
continue to ensure that the foundation data across a range of disciplines is
captured. The focus will then be upon an analysis of the existing situation
with regards to economic development, human capital development,
infrastructure and transport infrastructure, housing and urbanization, public
utilities, resource planning and environment and local government in context
of the construction industry. This has to be done before commencing with the
forecasting of future construction growth and associated needs and the
preliminary consideration of key manpower development options. An Interim
Report will be issued at the end of this stage during Week 12.
The works undertaken during Stage Two may continue during the course of
Stage Three Draft Report. Initially the focus of this stage will be upon
finalisation of the multi-sectoral analyses of the construction industry, which
in turn will inform a refinement of the states manpower vision statement as
well as the development of a range of alternative manpower development
strategies in the construction industry for consideration by the Client and
Steering Committee. Once a preferred manpower development strategy has
been jointly identified, it will be incorporated within the Draft Report and
further refined and enhanced to include draft versions of Draft Final Report.
The concluding Stage Four Final Report will comprise the completion of the
Final Report and accompanying manpower planning, as well as a suite of
supporting multi-sectoral recommendations. Additionally, recommendations
to improve the institutional and legislative setting for this manpower planning
will be proposed.
The methodologies and outputs associated with key elements of each of the
sroject stages are outlined as follows:
The Inception stage will focus upon the following critical activities:
Project Initiation The Study Team will be mobilised, and the initial
Client consultations will be held. These will focus on a joint review of
the scope of work, proposed methodologies and proposed activities
schedules with opportunity for any refinement to be undertaken with
the Client. The Client will also be consulted in relation to the
identification of all critical data sources and stakeholders, enabling an
initial consultation program to be outlined. This will include joint
consideration of a program for involvement of the Steering Committee
and for broader public consultation with the wider community.
Preliminary work and consultations on the supporting sectoral
appraisals will also commence.
The Inception Report will highlight the progress and outcomes of this initial
stage and identify any data and preliminary consultation shortcomings that
are still required to be addressed.
i) Review
The Review and Multi-Sectoral Appraisals stage will provide the essential
launching platform for the subsequent production of the Man Power Master
Plan of the Construction Industry, and is essential to providing a visionary
guide to optimal future growth and development in line with government
policies and current and emerging development priorities.
Key agency and stakeholder discussions are also important in terms of data
collection to understand the extent of the current database, the plans, vision,
development expectations, implementation arrangements and departmental
18
perspectives and proposals on key issues as they affect the development of
the construction sector in Sarawak.
(a) profile the existing economy (the baseline analysis) including population,
labour force, employment by industry and occupation and value of
industry output (GRP);
(c) use the consultation findings and the baseline economic information - to
identify and articulate the potential future economy with respect to the
value of output and jobs by industry sector.
Utilising the inputs from the various data sources and sectoral appraisals, the
preliminary identification of manpower skills requirement which could
accommodate the growth of the construction industry will be identified.
These areas will be subject to ongoing refinement during the course of the
Master Plan, but the identification will enable the further consideration of
alternative development options for the Manpower master Plan.
Construction growth scenarios for the State will be identified, guided by the
economic findings and analysis of the economic development scenarios. From
these projections a preliminary indication of their implications for skills
requirement, broad sustainable growth patterns intended to guide future
construction strategies can be formulated.
Based on the interim and final outcomes of the multi-sectoral appraisals and
the establishment of feasible future human resource and economic growth
distribution scenarios, alternative development strategies and concept
Manpower Master Plan for the State will be formulated and evaluated. This
work should be relatively unconstrained by any historic and government
preferences, allowing all options to be presented and assessed on their merit
and within the context of the Government development strategies. It is
recommended that the results of this work should be the subject of
consideration by the Steering Committee, enabling their identification of a
preferred human capital development strategy upon which the Draft Master
Plan Report can be confidently based.
v) Vision Statement
The Vision Statement, sectoral specialist reviews, key issues and constraints
identification, human resource growth and economic projection scenarios will
be harmonised to articulate and refine the key strategic planning directions
for the construction industry. This would also incorporate the preliminary
alternative strategies and guideline concepts for human resources
optimisation, human capital development and manpower planning initiatives
being proposed under the draft Master Plan.
20
vi) Draft Report and Master Plan
The Draft Report will evolve with the benefit of Client, Steering Committee
and community feedback on the alternative strategies identified during Stage
Three. The preferred growth management framework of the Master Plan will
be clearly identified and refined, ensuring the most effective implementation
staging to achieve the revised vision for manpower development. Written
statements of policy both general and specific will be prepared covering each
relevant sector to achieve this, largely supporting the proposals. In addition,
the draft plan will examine existing construction management policies and
the institutional and legislative framework for decision making with a view to
identifying where improvements to the current institutional and legislative
framework can occur, as well as specific recommendations relating to current
and planning policy guidelines.
The preparation of the Master Plan for the Sustainable Growth for
Construction Industry in Sarawak will ultimately create a narrative as to what
is to take place within a strategic economic and human resource skills
requirement development context, with express policies and programmes for
development to achieve this articulated and recommended.
Regular and ongoing consultations with the Client are critical to the smooth
progress of the Study, and these must occur on a regular basis immediately
from project commencement. These valuable meetings can provide important
platforms for agreement on study processes and strategic directions,
sourcing and sharing of key data, findings, and feedback from other agencies,
and in maintaining an informed and coordinated relationship between client
and consultant for the duration of the Study Assignment.
To ensure that this occurs, and to avert any delays associated with either
report delivery or client feedback, it is suggested that regular, informal
meetings occur. This will facilitate the opportunity to raise any pressing
issues, seek clarifications, and to generally keep lines of communication open
and status updates occurring on a regular basis between client and
consultant. Government consultations and ongoing communication in
particular with the WDU, SHRU, with RECODA, and with other major
government stakeholders is critical to a successful outcome.
