“…Offsite construction is that the prefabrication elements or parts of structures constructed in factory, then transported and assembled on-site while onsite construction is that the building blocks and parts of structures takes place directly on site [16]. There are two main IBS classes namely open system which standardized components, flexibility and design diversity, and closed system, which the element need specific made in factory [13]. In structural aspect, it can be divided into five key aspects namely precast concrete framing, panel and box systems, formwork systems, steel framing systems, prefabricated timber framing systems and block work systems [13].…”

“…IBS is Malaysia's local term to describe the use of automation, mechanisation and prefabrication of components for the local building industry [9]. IBS is characterized by its higher quality, faster jobs, increased profitability and the construction process which adopt prefab concept using standardised building components that are mass-produced in a factory ready for installation, transported and erected at site using suitable machinery and equipment with minimal workers with proper connection system [9][10][11][12][13]. The implementation of modular construction is proven to improve productivity, quality, efficiency, safety and health, speed up project duration, flexible, economically and promotes sustainable construction industry [5].…”

Prefab modular construction approach is a well-established volumetric structural product through off-site prefabrication at factory. Modular construction approach builds confidents to promote sustainability in construction industry development and is beneficial to the environment ecosystem. The study explored and discussed on various non-structural perspective of IBS modular construction in Malaysia. The study aims to investigate the importance of the implementation of IBS modular construction in Malaysia as rapid efficient construction process and poised to help the Malaysia construction industry grow to solve the housing demand impacts. The study presented the definition, prefabrication technology, history, benefits, barriers and issues, application and characteristics of modular construction in the Malaysian construction industry through literature review. Based on the literature reviewed, the existing IBS practices in Malaysia is still low in application and modular construction practice currently had gained popularity worldwide and been proven as rapid and efficient construction method in IBS trend. Therefore, the existing IBS practices in Malaysia must be strategized towards more efficient and rapid construction method due to its numerous benefits and characteristics. The findings of this study will contribute to the transformation of existing construction practices to modern modular construction approach and proposed the future study on modular construction in structural perspectives.

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.
