“…Furthermore, Mohammad has highlighted that IBS contributes to sustainability and improved the quality of life in the built environment (Mohammad, 2013). The outcomes of IBS project management life cycle adoption includes producing less waste (offsite and on-site), high quality products, reducing damage towards the environment and ecosystems, less air and sound pollution, safety on-site and in the factory vastly improve and reduce site disruption.…”

Industrialised Building Systems (IBS) is a construction method that produced building components manufactured in a factory, transported and assembled into a structure using appropriate machinery and equipment with minimal workers on site. The project life cycle is a project independent series of activities from the starting point until the moment it was successfully delivered. Generally in a construction project, the phases or stages are initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling and closing stage. This paper is part of on-going research on the Industrialised Building System (IBS) project management life cycle through the IBS approach in the Malaysian construction industry. The data and information presented is the review of the available relevant literature on this research topic. This paper incorporates an analysis of the definitions and IBS best practice or project life cycle outside from Malaysia. The identification of the project life cycle from the analysis is essential so that people and industry players will provide the basis of a guideline for the industry players to support and enhance the Malaysian construction industry.

“…The study also finds that formulating a standard form of contract for IBS construction approach is necessary to ensure smooth implementation as the activities are different from a normal construction approach. Previous research by (Shukor et al, 2011) and (Mohammad, 2013) have stated that, when there is a changes of technology or industrialisation in the industry, new and appropriate project procurement is needed. This is to ensure it can cater efficiently towards innovative activities.…”

“…The process can be hampered by quality issues, unfavourable site conditions, skilled labour shortages and bad weather conditions as reported by (CIDB), 2010). Based on previous research being done by local and international reseachers by (Construction Research Institute of Malaysia (CREAM), 2011), (Sarja, 1998), (Gibb, 2001 ( Kamar et.al, 2009), (CIDB), 2015a), (Mohammad, 2013), (Shukor et al, 2011), (Musa, Mohammad, Yusof, & Mahbub, 2015), (Halil, 2015) and ) is certain that using IBS offers huge benefits in terms of cost and time certainty, attaining better construction quality and productivity, reducing risk related to occupational safety and health, alleviating issues on skilled workers and dependency on manual foreign labour and achieving the ultimate goal of reducing overall cost of construction. As reported by (CREAM), 2011) the Malaysian Construction Industry has been urged to use innovative construction technique and to shift from traditional practice to IBS construction.…”

Abstract. Industrialised Building System (IBS) is the common term used to represent the prefabrication concept in Malaysia. Based on previous research being done locally and internationally, it is certain that using IBS offers huge benefits in terms of cost, time, productivity and quality. The Malaysian construction industry has been urged to use innovative construction techniques. It is being highlighted under the present Construction Industry Transformation Programme 2016 -2020 (CITP). These initiatives illustrate the Malaysia government's commitment in addressing the IBS agenda. Although some efforts have been taken to enhance the IBS adoption in Malaysia, various contract issues have emerged to become major concern amongst the IBS players that have led to delays, disputes, payment and cash flow issues in their projects. Formulating a dedicated standard form of contract for IBS construction approach is necessary to address the concerns. Therefore, the aim of the main research is to formulate the standard form of contract for IBS projects that will assist authorities and IBS industry players in mitigating the issues and challenges from the contractual perspectives. However, this paper will only present the literature reviews and findings from a preliminary survey conducted to establish pertinent contractual issues and challenges on the subject matter.

The enhancement of quality and to promote sustainability in the construction or built environment can be achieved through the adoption of offsite manufacturing (OSM). The adoption OSM through modular construction is already being adopted all over the world but to be considered as new technology and innovation in Malaysia. This paper will discuss the development of a framework for modular construction that embraced the Malaysian IBS approach. The framework is developed from the existing framework, literature review and the findings of the case studies. The established framework hopes to increase the understanding and awareness of modular construction in Malaysia.Keywords: Industrialised Building System (IBS); modular construction; Industrialised Building System Modular System (IBSMS); offsite manufacturing (OSM) Architecture, Planning & Surveying, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Malaysia.

Back then, most of the modular buildings constructed using modular construction are rectangular consists of two to four modular unit structure. Nowadays, modular construction can compete with conventional or traditional construction through the factory technology and advancement of computer design. Due to its advantages, modular construction is adopted in developed countries which include US, UK, Japan and Australia .Malaysia has begun to use Industrialised Building System (IBS) in the early 1960's. IBS is the term used in Malaysia to represent prefabrication concept in the built and construction environment. IBS is a construction process that uses standardised building components mass produces in a factory or onsite then transported and assembled using appropriate machinery and equipment with minimal workers with proper planning and integration Mohammad et al., 2013;. Industrialised Building System Modular System (IBSMS) is the terminology for modular construction that embraces the Malaysian IBS approach. Since the term IBS is already established in Malaysia; therefore it is necessary for the modular construction to adapt to the IBS approach (Ismail et al., 2013;Jabar et al., 2014;. According to Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB), there are six classifications of IBS which are (CIDB, 2003):  IBS Precast concrete system  IBS Reusable formwork system  IBS Steel framing system  IBS Blockwork system * Corresponding author.
