| Summary: | Since 1998, Malaysia Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) has been actively
promoting the implementation of Industrialised Building System (IBS) in our country. The
most popular IBS component implemented in Malaysia construction projects is precast
components (IBS Type 1). Over the years, the total number of precast manufacturing has
increased from 15 in 2009 to 36 factories in the year 2011 .This research project is to study
the implementation of IBS in government and private residential project, to identify the
most types of IBS implemented in residential project and to identify the obstacles in
implementing IBS in the construction project. The data were collected by the prepared and
distributed questionnaire also interview. It were being analysed using Microsoft Excel.
Even though IBS was known as a systematic and mechanised method of construction
compared to the conventional method in Malaysia Construction Industry but still there are
still some obstacles faced by construction industry practitioners. Hence, some
recommendation was identified and provided to improve IBS implementation in Malaysia.
