The Malaysian Construction Research Journal (MCRJ) is the journal dedicated to the documentation of R&D achievements and technological development relevant to the construction industry within Malaysia and elsewhere in the world. It is a collation of research papers and other academic publications produced by researchers, practitioners, industrialists, academicians, and all those involved in the construction industry. The papers cover a wide spectrum encompassing building technology, materials science, information technology, environment, quality, economics and many relevant disciplines that can contribute to the enhancement of knowledge in the construction field. The MCRJ aspire to become the premier communication media amongst knowledge professionals in the construction industry and shall hopefully, breach the knowledge gap currently prevalent between and amongst the knowledge producers and the construction practitioners.
