Human Barrier Factors Influencing the Adoption of the Civil Engineering Standard Method of Measurement (CESMM) in Construction Project Management
Abstract
The Civil Engineering Standard Method of Measurement (CESMM) is a standardized framework used for preparing bills of quantities and managing costs in civil engineering projects. The standard is a pivotal tool in construction project management, promoting standardization, cost control, and transparency. Despite its benefits, the adoption of CESMM varies across construction industries globally and faces numerous challenges, including limited awareness, lack of training, regulatory gaps, and resistance to change. This paper explores the factors influencing the adoption of CESMM in construction project management especially human barrier
factors, including unaware of the benefits of the standard method of measurement to their role, resistance to change from traditional values or culture, unfamiliarity of construction professionals with the measurement, inadequate support from construction practitioners for implementation and consultant utilize their own in-house method of measurement. By analyzing these factors, the study aims to examine the factors influencing CESMM adoption, utilizing recent findings and theoretical insights. A model is proposed to enhance adoption rates by addressing barriers and promoting effective integration of CESMM into project management practices to improve the
adoption and ensuring better cost control, project efficiency, and standardization in the construction industry.
