A review on the current issues and barriers of Industrialised Building System (IBS) adoption in Malaysia’s construction industry
2017
Malaysia considers the construction industry as one of the main contributors to its
Gross Domestic Product (GDP). However, there are some unresolved issues arising from the
ongoing and widespread adoption of the conventional method of construction such as the
resultant fragmentation of the industry itself; delays in production and delivery time of
unnecessary wastages and lack of sustainability practice. Malaysian Government has been
continuously encouraging the industry to use, partly or if not wholly, the Industrialized
Building System (IBS), which is considered to be an important part of sustainable construction
initiative. IBS was introduced to Malaysia as the solution to issues related to dependencies of
foreign workers, raising demand for affordable accommodations and improving image, quality
and productivity of construction industry. However, the IBS adoption in Malaysia remains
low. This paper presents the review of the current issues and barriers of IBS adoption in
Malaysian construction industry
