Optimising a modular design for affordable home / Salmiah Aziz

The needs of the affordable houses amongst Malaysians are much more than the total amount of the house that has been built. Most affordable public housing schemes in Malaysia are built under PR1MA in which the construction is based on the Industrialized Building System (IBS). Adoption of Modular Con...

Most affordable public housing schemes in Malaysia are built under PR1MA in which the construction is based on the Industrialized Building System (IBS). Adoption of Modular Construction System (MCS) to IBS is an innovative way to promote new technology in the Malaysian construction industry.

The research objectives that are satisfied are: 1) Experts’ suggestion of MCS as a three-dimension (3D) prefabrication modular model. Local industry players faced technical difficulties in utilizing IBS in the conventional construction cost of MCS due to competency issues despite high demand. In addition, MCS production qualities are much better than a conventional system with a consideration of culture, climate, and innovation in modular concepts. 2020 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/75174/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/75174/1/75174.pdf text en public masters Universiti Teknologi MARA, Perak Faculty of Architecture, Planning & Surveying Abdullah, Rofdzi Md Ajis, Azizah
