Extensive literature search was conducted. Funnel approach was used to establish the desirable characteristics of SMM. The characteristics were validated by ten selected expert panels. In order to confirm and rationalized the findings, opinion surveys were conducted among the selected practicing Quantity Surveyors (QS).
