Public Participation: Enhancing Public Perception towards IBS Implementation

Implementing Industrialised Building System (IBS) to the construction industry has the potential of contributing to sustainable construction development. However, since the introduction of IBS and its promises to improve the current construction method and scenario in Malaysia, the public perception towards its applicability is becoming an issue. This issue is greatly contributing to the low usage of IBS components in the construction industry. Low implementation of IBS will result in the target of achieving sustainable construction is far from being reached. Better public perception will create better understanding and demand of IBS adoption, indirectly contributing to the future sustainability environment.
