Benefits of the Industrialised Building System (IBS) implementation: Contractors' perspective

Since the 1960s, Malaysia has been pursuing IBS. However, it is not fully accepted by the contractor until today. The number of projects using IBS is still minimal, which has created various worries in the construction sector if they continue to utilize the traditional approach instead of IBS. So, the main aim of this study is to identify the benefit of using the IBS for a long-term duration in a project and increase the usage of IBS in the Malaysian construction industry. This study used a quantitative research methodology in the form of a questionnaire, which was sent to G7 contractors in the Peta ling District of Selangor. Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) software was used to collect and analyse the data. According to the research, the most significant result benefit of IBS is increase productivity and efficiency and improve site management. From this study, it is hoped that the contractor can start the accept the IBS and start implementing them in their project.
