Challenges
Not a popular choice Current exemption Lack of volume and Lack of on-site specialised
among designers because from levy cannot cover economies of scale due to skills for assembly and
IBS perceived as limiting additional cost for non-standardisation of erection of components
creativity in design developers designs

Lack of IBS design Insufficient push factor Lack of people with IBS
knowledge among from the end buyer for Lack of quality control in project management skill
designers IBS properties (except smaller IBS manufacturers which requires more
for GoM sector). Unlike logistics planning &
Proprietary systems make Green Buildings where Lack of local R&D, support coordination with IBS
it hard to be adopted by buyers knows the services, technologies and suppliers (i.e on-time
designer benefits and enjoy tax testing labs delivery)
break for such
buildings Lack of innovative products Additional cost in hiring
that can enhance aesthetic special equipment and
values of buildings machinery in implementing
IBS (i.e heavy duty lifting
crane)

The challenges faced have remain unchanged despite being repeatedly voiced by the industry
stakeholders during surveys, forums and workshops through-out the years…indicates problems need
to be resolved at the root cause level

 USED OF IBS SYSTEM
• All building components such as wall, floor slab,
beam, column and staircases are mass produced
either in factory or at site under strict quality control
and minimal on site activities
• Mechanization of the building processes
• Example of completed building in Malaysia HUKM,
university Hospital, Selayang Hospital, Kuala Lumpur
Tower, IKEA Damansara

IBS AS A SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION
• Sustainable construction enable to:-
I. Save energy and resources, recycle
materials & minimize the emission of toxic
substances.
II. Harmonies with the local climates,
traditions, culture & the surrounding
environment.
III. Able to sustain & improve the quality of
human life whilst at local & global levels.
IV. Saving and increase workplace productivity.
 ADVANTAGES OF INDUSTRIALISED BUILDING SYSTEM (IBS)
According to CIDB (2003), compares to conventional construction
method, the IBS has the following advantages:
i. Less construction time
• IBS requires less construction time because casting of precast element at
factory and foundation work at site can occur simultaneously and the
work at site is only the erection of IBS components. This leads to earlier
occupation of the building.

ii. Cost savings

• The formwork of IBS components are made of steel, aluminum or other
materials
that allows for repetitive use and this leads to considerable cost savings.

iii. Saving in labour

• When the IBS components are produced in factory, higher degree of
utilization of machine is permitted and the use of labour will be reduced
and lead to saving in labour cost.
iv. Less labour at site
• The use of IBS will reduce the construction process at site and
consequently reduce the number of labour required at site.

v. Optimized use of material

• The utilization of machine during the production of IBS components lead
to higher degree of precision and accuracy in the production and
consequently reduce material wastage.

vi. Higher quality and better finishes

• An IBS component have higher quality and better finishes due to the
careful selection of materials, use of advanced technology, better and
strict quality assurance control since production in factory is under
sheltered environment.

vii. Construction operation less affected by weather

• Faster project completion due to rapid all weather construction. The
effects of weather on construction operation are less due to the
fabrication of IBS components is done in factory while at site is only
erection of the components.
viii. Flexibility
• IBS provides flexibility in the design of precast element so that
different systems may produce their own unique prefabrication
construction methods.

ix. Increase site safety and neatness

• Utilization of IBS components leads to less construction process
especially wet work at site. This will lead to the neater site
condition and increase safety.

x. Environmental friendly
• The use of IBS will decrease the using of timber formwork on
construction project
 DISADVANTAGES OF IBS
i. High initial capital cost
• The initial capital cost of IBS is usually high. The initial cost
including the cost of constructing the factory, casting beds and
support machinery. The cost effectiveness can only be achieved
when undertaking large projects.

ii. Problem of joints

• Water leakage is often the major problem in building constructed
using IBS. This problem is more obvious in Malaysia where raining
occur rapidly through out the year.

iii. Sophisticated plants and skilled operators

• The prefabrication system relies heavily on sophisticated plants,
which have to be well coordinated and maintained by skilled
operators. Breakdown in any one section would hold-up the entire
production line.
iv. Site accessibility
• Site accessibility is one of the most important factors of the
implementation of IBS.IBS requires adequate sit accessibility to
transport IBS components from factory to the site.

v. Large working area

• Building construction using IBS requires a large working area for the
factory, trailers, tower-cranes and storage for the IBS components.
Besides, most construction sites especially in cities are often
congested and unable to provide the area required.
