| Summary: | The Malaysian construction industry is undergoing a transitional
change from an industry employing conventional technology to a more
systematic and mechanised. This new system is now known as the
industrialised building system (IBS). The new methods of construction can
increase productivity and quality of work through the use of better
construction machinery, equipment, materials and extensive pre-project
planning. This study becomes very necessary since there is yet no
organised body, which can provide the necessary information on the building
cost comparison between the conventional and industrialised building
system in Malaysia's construction industry.The thesis addresses the building cost comparison of the
conventional system and industrialised building system of IBS A, IBS B, and
IBS C. It provides the detail building cost to show cost savings amongst the
conventional system and the IBS. The data were collected through
questionnaire survey and case studies, which consisted of residential and
institutional buildings.
Through the t-test it is shown that there is a significant difference of
cost saving for the conventional system as compared to the industrialised
building system. |
