Therefore, there have been some enhancements in the building industry. However, the current procedure of construction in Malaysia will lead to problems in the future as a result of building inability for renovation, reactivation of role and maintenance. For any above actions the only way is demolition of buildings or parts of the building that leads to consuming more than double of resource and time. The open building system can be an alternative solution to shift the conventional construction method in the direction of adaptability. The aim of this study is to investigate the level of consuming cost and time for renovation in terraced houses in Malaysia. Moreover, this research focuses on to identify the barriers to implementation of Open Building System in Malaysia. The third purpose is to introduce different design scenarios that will be suitable based on the requirements of a selected case study occupation. A survey was conducted among inhabitants to find expended time and cost for renovation during their occupation period. The second questionnaire was designed to understand the main obstacles in the implementation of Open Building System in Malaysia in view of construction participants. Besides, different layouts were drawn in AutoCAD software, with all architectural details, to help the building to be more adaptable to the requirements and preferences of various residents. As a result, it was identified that residents spend a quarter of house purchase value for renovation and the average expended time for renovation is more than 2 months.
