A framework of significant clauses in the standard forms of contract for industrialised building system (IBS) in Malaysia / Mohd Ashraf Mohd Fateh

The Industrialized Building System (IBS) was introduced over 10 years ago in Malaysia, with well-documented benefits and strong support from the government. Unfortunately, the pace of IBS adoption is still slow and below the government's target. Construction players are still facing various issues and challenges when adopting IBS, particularly on contractual aspects, which contribute to the low adoption of IBS in Malaysia. As of to date, there is still a lack of provision in the significant clauses in the Malaysian standard form of contract to suit the IBS construction. Therefore, this research aim is to develop a framework of factors for the improvement of the significant clauses in the standard form of contract for the IBS construction in Malaysia was underpinned using the Deming’s Theory.
