Abstract

This research examined the challenges and strategies of implementing green building practices at EXSIM Development Sdn Bhd, a prominent company in Malaysia's real estate sector. Given the rising global attention to sustainable construction, the study assessed the efficiency of EXSIM Development's efforts to address the practical impediments to the broader application of green building practices. The study, which used a qualitative case study technique and involved in-depth interviews and the analysis of firm documentation, found that the main obstacles faced were high starting expenses, extensive maintenance requirements, regulatory barriers, and a sizable skills gap. Other issues that surfaced as significant were the evolving market demand for green buildings and the absence of financial incentives. The study provided an empirical understanding of the particular needs for sustainable building and suggested a framework for strategy based on the methods used by EXSIM Development. This framework offers a model for industry-wide application and comprises innovative financing, targeted worker training, legal compliance techniques, market-responsive project diversification, and public awareness-raising educational programs. The results provided benchmarks and a reliable model that can direct other companies encountering similar obstacles, fostering a more sustainable building industry in Malaysia and other comparable marketplaces. The study's conclusions included suggestions for extending the research into green building practices across various building types and comparing adoption tactics.
