Building Cost Comparison Between Conventional And Some Selected Industrialised Building Systems

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...

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.

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.
