INDUSTRIALISED BUILDING SYSTEM (IBS)

Industrialised Building System (IBS) Malaysia is defined as the components that are manufactured in a controlled setting and environment, regardless of whether the production is done on-site or off-site, assembled, fabricated or sited into the works of construction. IBS materials supplied and built by manufacturers, suppliers, contractors are entitled to Green Building Index (GBI) for building projects completed in Malaysia, IBS is classified as eco-friendly and green building materials in Malaysia.

Better planning of resources also reduces the overall cost, optimizes the supplies and diminish wastage of materials. IBS tolerates high flexibility and includes a wide range in architectural designs; most types of IBS provide excellent quality and finishing compared to labor-intensive work where quality might be inconsistent or differ with measurement in design. Furthermore, the cost of foreign workers in Malaysia has been increasing, making IBS is a wise building method option to proceed.

Types of IBS

Six main types of IBS adopted from (CIDB, 2016)

There are several types of Industrialised Building System (IBS) construction methods used in Malaysia. Here are some of the most common ones:

1. Precast Concrete Framing, Panel & Box System: This method involves the use of precast concrete components that are assembled on-site to create the buildingstructure .

2. Blockwork System: This method involves the use of precast concrete blocks that are assembled on-site to create the building structure .

3. Steel Formwork System: This method involves the use of steel frames that are assembled on-site to create the building structure .

4. Steel Framing System: This method involves the use of steel frames that are assembled on-site to create the building structure .

5. Timber Framing System: This method involves the use of timber frames that are assembled on-site to create the building structure .

6. Hybrid System: This method involves the use of a combination of different IBS components to create the building structure .
