The implementation of Industrialized Building System (IBS) in the perception of contractors / Nur Eirdhina Nor Hashim

Industrialized Building System (IBS) is currently not a new thing to be introduced. It has been implemented a long time ago from construction abroad until it enters Malaysia. However, the usage of this system seems to have no place in our country due to a statistic shown by Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) that private sector adoption is still low. Thus, a study was conducted to achieve two objectives, firstly to explore contractors' perceptions towards implementing IBS in construction projects. Second, to find strategies to widen the use of this system. The target respondent for the first objective is five contractors from contractor companies in Malacca. While the second objective is through secondary data. The data on the contractor's perception towards IBS implementation were collected by means of an interview and being analyzed using content analysis method, while the data on strategies to widen IBS system were collected through intensive literature review.
