Abstract
Industrialised Building System (IBS) Modular System (MS) is a construction delivery method where buildings are manufactured 60% to 90% off-site in a factory-controlled environment and transported, assembled and fixed at the final building site. Findings from the questionnaire survey indicated that the MS may be able to reduce the total construction time and minimise the construction wastage considerably. However, the high initial cost and lack of technical expertise are among the hindrances in the implementation of Modular System in Malaysia. This paper will also look into options in achieving the quality of life aimed for its tenants and community.
