| Summary: | Generally, the used of Industrialised Building System (IBS) in construction
industry throughout the world has positive perceptions on improving the overall
construction industry performance. Therefore, Construction Industry Development
Board (CIDB) has been actively promoting the use of Industrialised Building System
(IBS) in Malaysian Construction Industry since 1998. Unfortunately, the used of IBS
for building project in Malaysia is still limited if compared to CIDB's target. In view
to this limitation, this study has been carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of
current IBS implementation for Malaysian construction industry through the
measurement of acceptance level on the current IBS implementation and also
determination of the existing problems faced by construction industry related to the
IBS implementation. The methodologies adopted for this study are interview with
expert panels and questionnaire survey. The result of this study revealed that current
promotion on IBS for awareness purposes is effective but unfortunately the
application is still very limited since it only covers certain elements. Not all
practitioners can accept it implementation especially company and personnel with
less experiences in handling IBS project. It is recommended that the relevant
institution which produce young engineer for construction sector must provide a
syllabus on IBS which cover technical, business process, and all aspect which needed
for effective IBS implementation. This can generates wider range of application of
IBS product within the industry |
