What Is Industrialized Building System (Ibs)

An Industrialized Building System (IBS) refers to a construction technique where building components are manufactured in a controlled factory environment and then assembled onsite. The main IBS types used in Malaysia are precast concrete, steel framing, prefabricated timber framing, and blockwork systems. IBS results in higher quality construction with less waste due to the controlled factory conditions, faster completion times through the use of prefabricated components, and lower overall costs.

WHAT IS INDUSTRIALIZED BUILDING SYSTEM (IBS)

 An Industrialised Building System (IBS) refers to a technique of


construction whereby components are manufactured in a controlled
environment - either onsite or offsite - placed and assembled into
construction works.
 The term IBS is used in Malaysia, whereas it is also known as Pre-
fabricated/Pre-fab Construction, Modern Method of Construction
(MMC) and Off-site Construction in the rest of the world.
 The five commonly used IBS types in Malaysia are:

1.
1. Precast concrete framing, panel and box systems;
2. Steel framework systems;
3. Prefabricated timber framing systems;
4. Steel framing systems; and
5. Blockwork systems

What are the benefits of using IBS?

 Results in high-quality products and minimum waste, due to a


factory work environment that is easier to control.
 Results in elimination of conventional timber props and an obvious
decrease of supporting materials, through the use of complete
assembly elements or prop system for the onsite casting process.
 Results in a stronger and safer work platform, produced through a
complete assembly element.
 Results in faster completion, due to the introduction of prefabricated
components to replace onsite fabrication.
 Results in a safer, cleaner and more organized site, due to the
reduction of construction waste, site workers and prefabricated
construction materials; and
 Results in a cheaper total construction cost, resulting from the above
factors.
 
IBS
1.High quality.As most components aremanufactured in the factory, th e
qualitycan be consistent and maintained as theworking environment in
a factory iseasier to control.

2.Less construction time.Assuming therei s a m a s s i v e a m o u n t o f


q u a n t i t y - economies of scale-wise, IBS systemswill result in cheaper
total constructionc o st s, a n d bu y e rs c a n b en e fi t i f t h e savings are
transferred to them.

3.C o s t s a v i n g . I B S s y s t e m s a r e manufactured at the


factory, thus usageof machineries can be cut off.

4.Environmental friendly. The use of IBSwill decrease construction waste


on sitesuch as concrete and formwork.
