ABSTRACT
Article presents points on the construction industry everywhere which may occur various problems and challenges on surroundings. These difficulties and challenges are present alongside a general situation of socio-economic. This paper considers some of the challenges facing the construction industries in developing countries. The Main issues addressed are: construction industry development; globalisation; culture; and the environment. In each case, the issue is analysed from the perspective of the developing countries, and the main Implications and present challenges highlighted.
Keywords: construction industry development; globalization; culture; the environment; research agenda
The construction industry, by nature, has many special problems and requirements . The importance of taking measures to improve the Performance of the construction industry has now been recognised in several countries at various levels of Socio-economic development. Dedicated agencies have been formed in many countries to administer the Continuous improvement of the industry, although they have different objectives, responsibilities and levels Of authority. In the UK, the Construction Industry Board is an industry initiative, whereas its counterpart Institutions in developing countries are government agencies. They include the Construction Industry Development Board of Malaysia, the Institute of Construction Training and Development of Sri Lanka and The National Construction Council of Tanzania . Singapore's Building and Construction Authority is also a government agency.[1]

Considering the nature of the industry's needs and problems, and in many developing countries, the Resource constraints, formation of an agency does not guarantee the success of construction industry development. An important point worth stressing is that construction industry development is a continuous Process. A number of countries at different levels of development have recently formulated long-term plans For improving their construction industries. These include: Australia ,Hong Kong, Singapore and the UK . The reviews have been given impetus by both internal and external trends Which indicate a challenging future for each of these construction industries. The trends include the needs of an increasingly sophisticated economy, client demands, technological and social change, and Globalisation leading to competitive pressures. The initiative in Singapore, which has a successful Construction industry development agency is a good example of such efforts.[1,2]
Ways must be found to take advantage of the special features of construction which offer unique opportunities. First, the construction industry should effectively play its role in the economy by realising its potential to create jobs in all parts of the country as well as stimulating business activities in other sectors of the economy. New strategies are necessary to make this possible. Second, construction activities should lay the infrastructure for development. With public funds under severe strain and chronically short, ways must be found to structure funding strategies which are suitable for the developing countries. Investment approaches which broaden the base of ownership among the population and give the immediate community a stake in major development projects could be formulate.[3]
Corporate development is of crucial importance. Construction industries need companies which take a longterm view, and are prepared to invest in human resource, equipment and research and development in order to improve their performance. However, the construction enterprises in developing countries are known for their lack of knowledge, short-term orientation and lack of focus on construction. They are also unable to employ qualified personnel, and/or unwilling to appoint them to positions of responsibility.[4,10]
The implications of globalisation for the construction industries of developing countries require further study. First, the costs and benefits to national construction industries should be studied. These may differ from those for the national economy. Second, work is required on how the benefits of globalisation can be maximised and the adverse effects minimised for the benefit of both the developing-country firms and their foreign counterparts. Third, actions which the industry itself can take also requires to be studied. The final issue needing further investigation is intra-industry diffusion of technologies

and knowledge. The subject here would be how the larger local contractors can use the relevant know-how acquired from their foreign counterparts or other sources, to lead the industry to upgrade. Several authors predict that construction firms from developing countries will play an increasingly greater role in the global market in future [5].
The way in which these companies can actively help to upgrade their national construction industries should also be studied. Another issue is the possibility of cross-border strategic alliances among construction firms from developing countries, which will enable them to collaborate in modern construction business and technology development. For example, Ofori notes that China has several international contractors but foreign firms are active on its sophisticated-project market. India has large numbers of skilled personnel, and foreign enterprises have set up skills-intensive operations such as design and informationtechnology offices. However, few Indian construction firms are successful overseas. Strategic collaboration among companies from these nations for projects within their own countries and beyond, would be eneficial.[6]
The subject of culture has rightly come to the fore in construction research. So far, the work has focused on industrialised countries. It is necessary to reconsider the arrangements and procedures of the construction industries of developing countries, especially since the countries from which they are borrowed have already taken measures to review or replace them. Effort is required to reflect the cultural attributes and values of individual developing countries in their construction practices and procedures. The existing ones are not only currently obsolete, but they are also inappropriate. Studies on the culture of construction and construction-related firms, projects and workers in the developing countries would, among other things:
• help managers to understand how to communicate with, and motivate, their workers
• enable clients to appreciate how to offer incentives to, and steer construction firms to innovate
• offer insights into the most effective way to transfer technology to local construction firms
• help project managers to integrate the contributions of the project participants most effectively. [7]
The C21 initiative in Singapore was part of a series of major reviews of national construction industries which have been undertaken in a number of developed countries in recent years. These studies have been completed under the broad theme of performance

improvement, benchmarking; Identification, adaptation and application of best practices. Also prominent among the influencing factors are developments in techniques and tools from other sectors, such as manufacturing. These developments are also relevant to the construction industries of developing countries. These industries would benefit from the application of techniques such as quality, waste and safety management; just-in-time; client focus; supply chain management; and above all, and linking all these, the strategic application of information technology. In short, the construction enterprises and practitioners in developing countries should be encouraged and assisted to become excellent.[8]
The construction industries of the developing countries will face major challenges in future. Those which are often highlighted and considered relate to the resource shortages of the industry itself. This paper argues that issues which are not normally considered to be relevant to developing countries are, indeed of significance to them, and some may be critical. It is necessary for more work to be done on the issues of globalisation, the environment, and the various aspects of culture as they relate to construction activity, construction enterprises and the construction industry in developing countries. The overarching issue of construction industry development should embrace all these issues. In other words, the developing countries should seek to develop construction industries which are well-poised to benefit from globalisation (rather than those which are victims of this inevitable process where construction is concerned), enterprises and practitioners which are aware of, and actively seek to limit, the negative environmental impact of their activities, and which effectively apply the local culture to facilitate their efforts towards achieving success on their projects.[9,11]
