“…Interest in the education of project managers is growing extensively. Although, some researchers argue that current PM education does not meet the challenges of increasingly complex project world [8,10], other authors highlight PM training and education as key factor in PM [47][48][49], as trained and certified staff for PM activity play a great deal to project success and contribute to the organizational PM development; 4) Fully adopted PM information system (PMIS). It is widely recognized that fully adopted PMIS indicates the level of PM maturity as PMIS allows effective project administration [35,50] and supports the multi-project environment [51] as well as contributes to the project success rate increase [52].…”

“…It has been argued that competency-based measure is important for achieving effective performance with respect to time, cost and quality, which are the common measures for evaluating project success (Takey and de Carvalho, 2015). As such, studies are rife concerning competencies required for effectiveness of construction projects (Cf.…”

Competency-based measure is increasingly evident as an effective approach to tailoring training and development for organisational change and development. With design stage widely reckoned as being decisive for construction waste minimization, this study aims at identifying designers' competencies for designing out waste. Due to paucity of research into competency for construction waste mitigation, this study corroborates Verbal Protocol Analyses (VPA) with phenomenological research. Combining findings from the two methodological approaches, competencies for designing out waste are grouped into five categories, three of which are largely task related and two being contextual competencies.The study suggests that design task proficiency, low waste design skills and construction related knowledge are indispensable task competencies, while behavioural competence and inter-professional collaborative abilities are requisite contextual competencies for designing out waste.In concurrence with task-contextual theory of job performance, personality variables and cognitive abilities are found to influence one another. This suggests that both task and contextual competencies are not only important, they are less mutually exclusive with respect to designing out waste. This study implies that apart from commitment and dedication of designers to waste minimization, design and firm practices are expected to be adapted to the industry's standard. Basis for training needs of design professionals as well as redeployment criterion are further elaborated in the paper. By enhancing competencies identified in this study, construction waste would not only be significantly designed out, adequate cost saving could be made as a result of waste reduction.
