Counts on renovation jobs done 5.26 pieces per person (Table 8). In terms of the individual groups of renovation, the dissatisfied group was inclined more towards security, sizes and ventilation and less on cosmetic, compared to the satisfied group. This indicates, to an extent, where the dissatisfactions lie (Table 9). What about those who currently already have a house and are purchasing a new one - what do they consider to be important in new houses? Combining the samples together as presented in Table 10, the results showed high importance owners placed on all the listed attributes of house size, makeovers and security with security aspect ranked the highest followed by size and makeover. However, this order does not necessarily follow in the individual locations. In Kuala Trengganu, owners placed security second, after size. In terms of house size, owners in Kuala Trengganu place highest importance (4.69) followed by Kota Bharu (4.65), Shah Alam (4.61) and Kemuning (4.34). On security, owners in Kota Bharu believe it to be absolutely important while those in Kemuning, Shah Alam and Kuala Trengganu believe it to a lesser degree. Makeovers lag behind in third place; however, Shah Alam owners placed much greater 2 4 importance on makeovers compared to other areas, as seen from the high average score that almost match for other attributes while Kuala Trengganu placed the lowest on this attribute. Among non-owners, similar ranking obtained whereby security prevailed as the highest on average score albeit with slightly lower mean than in the case of owners. Among non-owners, those in Kemuning appeared to have placed greatest importance on security although not as highly as the absolute importance placed by owners in Kota Bharu. It needs to be noted that the ranking result here is merely suggestive and not considered conclusive in view of the limitations in the data. How did owners and non-owners compare? The results show that non-owners place less importance but the differences are too marginal to be significant. Overall, the two groups placed similar levels of importance across the attributes concerned. However, in different areas, the results were slightly different. In Kemuning and to a large extent in Kuala Trengganu, non-owners placed higher on importance level than owners on all attributes.

Importance placed on the various aspects of renovation C ONC LU SION This study has set out to examine whether or not there is demand-side market readiness for the housing mass customisation concept. The findings show evidence in the positive direction. They sug- gest that housing mass customisation appears headed for a promising future. This is evident from the fact that dissatisfaction is prevalent among buyers of the developer-delivered standard housing products and also that an overwhelming proportion of the prospective buyers are strongly in favour of 2 5 open house international Vol.37 No.1, March 2012 Examining The Potential For Mass Customisation...
