“…The safety of IB is not remarkably distinct from that of conventional building, and it is usually believed that IB is equivalent to cast-in-situ in structural stabilities. The standardization of designs with fewer options are accepted in industrialized buildings, while customized user-oriented production is today’s trend, and more designers are more inclined towards building adaptability [ 58 , 59 ]. Owing to the stabilized quality of components manufactured scientifically, on-site assembly can remarkably minimize construction blunders and human error through minimizing defects in the quality [ 60 ].…”

Compared with the conventional building, the industrialized building (IB) promotes the sustainable development of the construction industry, which will become a growth trend in the future. Nevertheless, the progress of industrialized building is intimately affected through the scientific evaluating mechanism, which still requires more research. Thus, this study establishes a conceptual framework of industrialized building assessment (IBA), which is validated through exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The impact between efficiency and the other five dimensions are studied by the structural equations model (SEM). The findings indicated that the conceptual framework is valid, and the efficiency has a positive impact on economic factors, livability, safety, environmental factors, and social benefits. Consequently, the improvement of efficiency has turned out to be the primary issue for improving the growth of the industrialized building. This research explores the basic framework of industrialized building assessment and provides a basis to establish a comprehensive and precise industrial building evaluation mechanism in the near future.

“…The new doctrines are covers several concepts of modification: allowing building parts to be changed or move independently, separating a structural component from the building envelope and technical equipment and introducing new modern materials (Brezar, 2014). Hence, the industry shall extract the benefit from the current technology of IBS (Rahim, Hamid, Zen, Ismail & Kamar, 2012) to develop the lightweight steel panel system which more adaptable and flexible towards client needs. In fact, both adaptability and flexibility are two important components should be given emphasis in the IBS-housing development effort (Habraken, John, Teicher & Jonathan, 2005).…”

Utilization of Industrialized Building System (IBS) becomes increasingly dominant in the construction of affordable housing in Malaysia. Theoretically, utilization of IBS system can benefit to reduce the affordable housing price due to the less labor involvement and short constructions time. However, current IBS usage in housing construction still cannot fulfill the affordable housing demand especially in term of price and housing quality. Recent study reveals the lack adoption of IBS component in construction industry mainly caused by poor perception among stakeholder toward the system. Hence, some alterations in the supply of the IBS component essential to being prepared in order to reach the price target to permit all middle-income groups to own the quality house. Construction industry also can explore the other types of IBS system focusing on lightweight types such as wood or steel system which clearly could give benefit to the housing industry on faster works and high housing quality. Due to strong and durable characteristic of lightweight steel panel, it can be seen as an alternative component to be explored to enhance construction practices of affordable housing project. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to identify the potential of lightweight steel panel system to be implemented for affordable housing project. Accordingly, for the highlight in reducing affordable housing price integrate with provision of good quality housing this research focus on feedback from developer about the proposed lightweight steel panel system. This research conducted an interview with six project managers with more than three years working experience in housing construction project at South of Peninsular Malaysia. Developer’s experience in affordable housing project mainly for landed house is coinciding because of lightweight steel panel system suitability for not more than two stories house. The result reveals that, respondent prefer to the advantages of lightweight steel panel system in term of faster installation works, low maintenance work, flexibility and smart construction. In conclusion, the ability of the system to decrease housing price at the same time sustain the desired quality of housing will increase ability and satisfaction for middle-income earner to own the house.

Skeleton and Infill (SI) housing system is considered as a significant path of sustainably prolonging building life by improving structural durability and infill variability for its nature that the skeleton system is fixed, while the infill system could be rebuilt to satisfy users’ changing demands in different stage without damaging the skeleton system. The application of a SI housing system involves two new characteristics compared to traditional cast-in-place housing system: components production in factories and site construction are carried out simultaneously; the skeleton system and the infill system are constructed in parallel phases, which increase enormous parallel work. Iterations and rework would increase with the improper handling of parallel works, which lead to higher construction cost and lower participant willingness of stakeholders in SI housing construction delivery process. It is essential to establish a model to clarify the dependencies among major parallel work items and recognize parallel work sets to optimize the construction sequence for stakeholders to strengthen communication and coordination on key work items in a more efficiency way. By conducting investigations into the construction delivery process of typical SI housing projects in China, this paper developed a parallel collaborative mode based on the design structure matrix (DSM) to identify the complex dependencies among major cooperative work items. Furthermore, to provide an optimized parallel collaborative process, graph theory was introduced to find parallel work sets and eliminate repetition and iteration caused by improper work execution sequences. The results provide a guide for stakeholders to make appropriate cooperation strategies in implementing major work items and promoting cooperating efficiency by reducing iteration and rework.
