... . The crucial factor affecting to implement IBS in construction to be conclude. INTRODUCTION Industrialized Building System (IBS) is a term used in Malaysia for a technique of construction where by components are manufactured in a controlled environment, either at site or off site, placed and assembled into construction works. Worldwide, IBS is also known as Pre-fabricated/Pre-fab Construction, Modern Method of Construction (MMC) and Off-site Construction. CIDB Malaysia, through IBS Centre is promoting the usage of IBS to increase productivity and quality at construction sites through various promotion programs, training and incentives. The content of IBS (IBS Score) is determined based on the Construction Industry Standard; either manually, web application or fully automated CAD-based IBS Score calculator. The fundamental idea of Industrialized Building System (IBS) is to move some effort away from construction site to manufacturing floor. In IBS construction, building components are prefabricated at factory and transport to site for installation. The government of Malaysia has agreed to expand the method of IBS in construction sector and endorsed the content of IBS Roadmap 2003-2010 to guide the mission. IBS can be seen as an alternative option to maintain sustainability in construction. It can generate more controlled human resources and cost, shorten the construction period and increase the quality of buildings. Simultaneously, it can also enhance occupational health and safety. In addition, the most advantageous solutions to reduce construction waste are based on IBS. By examining these advantages, IBS can easily be considered as the most appropriate way to serve sustainable building projects.
