Industrialised Constructing System (IBS) started in early 1960s when Ministry of Housing and Native Authorities of Malaysia visited a number of European nations, on the identical time evaluates their housing growth program. (Thanoon et al, 2003). After their profitable go to within the 12 months 1964, the Authorities had launched pilot mission on IBS to hurry up the supply time and constructed inexpensive and high quality homes.
The primary pilot mission was constructed at Jalan Pekeliling in Kuala Lumpur and about 22.7 acres of land was devoted to the mission comprising 4 blocks of Four-storey flats and 7 blocks of 17-storey flats and comprising complete about three,000 items of low value flats for the low and median earnings group and 40 items of store heaps. This public housing mission was undertaken by Gammon/ Larsen Nielsen and this mission are utilizing the Danish System of huge panels in a industrialised prefabricated system. The development for public housing mission was full from 1966 till 1968 (round complete 27 months) together with the time taken within the development of the round RM 2.5 million casting yard at Jalan Damansara (CIDB, 2006; and Thanoon et al, 2003).
In 1965, the Authorities of Malaysia launched a second mission, is a 3 blocks of 18-storey flats and 6 blocks of 17-storey flats and comprising complete about three,699 items and 66 items of store heaps alongside at Jalan Rifle Vary in Penang. The general public housing mission was awarded to Hochtief/ Chee Seng and this mission are utilizing French Estoit System (Din, 1984). This public housing mission was full inside 27 months.
If we’re reference to the 2 pilot tasks, a efficiency comparability between the IBS and the standard system has been carried by way of value, productiveness, high quality, and time. In keeping with the analysis, the primary pilot mission incurred eight.1% greater prices than an identical constructing and utilizing typical development technique, whereas the second pilot mission was decrease. In time period of complete development pace, each of the general public housing mission required complete 27 months to finish the entire mission, inclusive of time required to arrange the recasting factories. The overall high quality of constructing finishes was additionally discovered to be higher than the utilizing typical development technique.
One other earliest utilizing IBS in public housing mission was at Taman Tun Sardon in Penang. These utilizing IBS in public housing mission complete all about 1,000 items of 5-storey stroll up flat and this mission are utilizing IBS precast part and system. The IBS precast part and system within the housing mission was designed to the low value housing by British Analysis Institution and particularly for the low and median earnings group. Virtually on the identical time at Edmonton in North London, there are utilizing related system was constructed and complete quantity about 20,000 BRECAST dwellings have been constructed all through UK from 1964 till 1974 (CIDB, 2006). The overall all constructing design was very primary and fairly easy and should not take into account the facet of serviceability such because the native or consumer must have moist rest room and toilet (Rahman and Omar, 2006).
Many development within the following years utilised precast wall panel system. One can noticed that IBS was interact at first place within the development of low value excessive rise residential constructing to beat the rising demand for housing wants (CIDB, 2006). Nonetheless, the industrialisation of development on the earlier stage was by no means sustained. Failure of early closed fabricated system made the trade afraid of fixing their development technique. A number of the forgeign techniques that have been launched throughout the late 60s and 70s have been additionally discovered not be appropriate with Malaysia local weather and social practices (CIDB, 2005).
Newer and higher applied sciences have been always being launched than available in the market. Moist joint techniques have been recognized to be extra appropriate for use in our tropical local weather and it was additionally higher to utilised the toilet varieties which have been comparatively wetter than these within the Europe (CIDB, 2005).
In 1978, the Penang State Authorities launched one other 1200 items of housing utilizing prefabrication know-how. Two years later, the Ministry of Protection adopted giant prefabricated panel development system to construct 2800 items of dwelling quarters at Lumut Naval Base (Trikha and Ali, 2004).
In the course of the interval of early 80s as much as 90s using structural metal elements took new flip notably in excessive rise buildings in Kuala Lumpur. The utilization of metal construction gained a lot consideration with the development of 36-storey Dayabumi advanced that was full in 1984 by Takenaka Company of Japan (CIDB, 2003 and CIDB, 2006)
Within the 90s, demand for the brand new township has seen the rise in using precast concrete system in excessive rise residential constructing. Between 1981 and 1993, Perbadaan Kemajuan Negari Selangor (PKNS) a state Authorities growth company acquired pre-cast concrete know-how from Praton Haus Worldwide based mostly on Germany to construct low-cost homes and excessive value bungalows for the brand new townships in Selangor (CIDB, 2003; Hassim et al, 2009 and Nationwide IBS Survey, 2003). It was recorded then, round 52,000 housing items was constructed utilizing Praton Haus system (Trikha and Ali, 2004). On this booming interval of Malaysia development 1994 to 1997, hybrid IBS software utilized in many nationwide iconic landmarks equivalent to Bukit Jalil Sport Complicated, Kuala Lumpur Conference Centre (metal beam and roof trusses and precast concrete slab: Victor Buyck Metal Development), Light-weight Railway Prepare (LRT), KL Sentral Station (metal roof construction and precast hole core: RSPA – Bovis), KL Tower (metal beams and columns for tower head: Wayss & Freytag), Kuala Lumpur Worldwide Airport (metal roof construction: KLIAB – Eversendai) and Petronas Twin Towers (metal beams and metal decking for the ground system – Mayjus JV and SKJ JV) (CIDB, 2006). It additionally consists of the event and development of recent administration capital of Malaysia; Putrajaya and the primary Malaysia cyber metropolis; Cyberjaya.
At the moment within the Malaysian development trade, using IBS as a technique of development is evolving. Extra native producers have established themselves available in the market. Many had acquired sufficient data by means of know-how switch to construct up personal capability in IBS applied sciences (PKNS Engineering, Setia Precast and International Globe).
The native IBS producers have been mushrooming, though but to function in full capability. The present IBS system utilized in Malaysia housing tasks are giant panel techniques, metal body, precast body and formwork system. The IBS system is basically used for personal residential tasks in Shah Alam, Wangsa Maju and Pandan (Sarja, 1998), Dua Residency, KL, Taman Mount Austin and Tongkang Pecah, Johor (CIDB, 2006).
It was reported that a minimum of 21 manufactures and suppliers of IBS are actively selling their techniques in Malaysia. IBS transfer to the following step of the event by means of the institution of IBS Centre at Jalan Chan Sow Lin, Cheras, Kuala Lumpur. The duty to implement IBS serves each to enhance efficiency and high quality in development, in addition to to attenuate dependency on unskilled international labour within the development market.
2.2 Classification of Constructing System
There are 4 forms of constructing system in Malaysia in accordance with Badir – Razzli constructing system classification. The constructing system will be are specifically Typical Column-beam- slab body system with timber and plywood; Forged in-situ system with metal or aluminium as formwork; Prefabricated system and the Composite constructing system is proven as beneath. Every constructing system is represented by its development know-how, purposeful and geometrical configuration. There from the 4 techniques, are recognized as IBS excluding typical constructing system.

2.2.1 Typical Development Technique
Typical constructing technique is outlined as elements of the constructing which can be prefabricated on website by means of the processes of timber or plywood formwork set up, metal reinforcement, and forged in-situ. Typical buildings are largely constructed of strengthened concrete frames. The normal development technique makes use of wood formwork. It’s far more pricey for development which incorporates labour, uncooked materials, transportation and low pace of development time.
2.2.2 Forged In-Situ Development Technique
This technique is appropriate for a rustic the place unskilled labour is restricted. There is no such thing as a heavy equipment or excessive know-how concerned. The system is technically relevant to nearly all forms of constructing. Formwork is used as a mould the place moist concrete is poured into a brief system. The momentary system additionally acts as a brief assist for the constructions.
The target of an in-situ technique is to remove and scale back the standard site-based trades like conventional timber formwork, brickwork, plastering and to scale back labour content material. A rigorously deliberate in-situ work can maximise the productiveness, pace and accuracy of prefabricated development. Forged in-situ technique makes use of light-weight prefabricated formwork fabricated from metal / fibreglass / aluminium that’s simply erected and dismantled. The metal reinforcement is positioned throughout the formwork as they’re being erected and concrete is poured into the mould. When the concrete is about in accordance with the required energy, the moulds are dismantled. The employees will be simply skilled to erect the moulds and set the metal reinforcement. Its benefits over the standard development technique embrace, low talent requirement, speedy development, low upkeep, sturdy construction and fewer value.
2.2.three Composite Development Technique
The aims of composite development technique (partially prefabricated) are to enhance high quality, scale back value, and shorten development time. The idea of partial industrialised system is derived from the composite nature of full industrialisation, and is used to explain a producing or manufacturing technique that selectively makes use of some industrialising elements, whereas avoiding or suspending using others. The prefabricated development technique is mixed in such a fashion that the options utilized could possibly be prominently demonstrated, particularly composing varied works equivalent to momentary services, constructing frames, constructing finishes, and equipments.
2.2.Four Prefabricated Development Technique
On this technique of development, all parts will be standardised are prefabricated within the manufacturing facility. Usually, this technique would contain the meeting of precast parts equivalent to flooring slabs, in-filled partitions, loos, staircases, and and so on. into place for incorporation into the primary items, columns and beams. This technique of development has diminished the quantity of website labour concerned in constructing operations and elevated the productiveness of the trade. Precast constructing techniques can scale back the length of a mission if sure situations are met. The final three development strategies are thought-about as non typical development strategies. All these development are particularly geared toward rising productiveness and high quality of labor by means of using higher development equipment, tools, know-how and supplies.
2.three Classification of IBS and Apply to Public Housing
In keeping with Badir et al. (1998), IBS will be categorized in accordance with a number of elements:-
Classification in accordance with structural system.
Classification in accordance with materials.
Classification in accordance with relative weight of elements.
2.three.1 Classification In keeping with Structural System
In keeping with Abraham Warszawski (1999), IBS will be categorized in accordance structural systematic elements. IBS will be classifies into three classes as:-
Linear system or frames (beams and column).
Panel system.
Rectangular or Bins system or three dimensional techniques.
Determine 1, 2, and three reveals the idea of the system as categorized above.
Determine 2: Panel System
Determine three: Field System
Determine : Body System
2.three.1.1 Body System
Body system is system that use column and beam as the primary construction member the place column and beams assist all of the constructing weight. The partitions should be mild and straightforward to put in and concrete panels are introduces as flooring aspect.
2.three.1.2 Panel System
In panel system, masses are distributed by means of giant flooring and wall panels the place partitions assist the constructing weight. This technique is relevant to buildings which functionally require a lot of partitions equivalent to condominium home, resort and hospital. This technique will not be relevant to buildings with giant spans or many tales.
2.three.1.three Field System
The field system embrace these techniques that make use of three dimensional modules or bins for fabrication of liveable items which can be able to withstanding load from varied instructions attributable to their inside stability.
2.three.2 Classification In keeping with Materials
2.three.2.1 Timber
There are two forms of prefabrication of timber which is ready-cut plus store fabrication of joints (column and beam) and structural panels the place there are solely partitions and flooring with out column and beam.
2.three.2.2 Brick and Block work
Laying of brick or block are carried out in a mass at manufacturing facility and transported to website or on website beside the constructing below development within the type of panel after which erected.
2.three.2.three Metal
Metal development basically accommodates components of prefabrication which is likely one of the standards of IBS. Parts are jointed by welding, riveting or bolting on website. The big proportion of the energy to the burden permits a long-span or high-rise constructing.
2.three.2.Four Bolstered Concrete
Bolstered concrete has excessive diploma of availability, low materials value, sturdiness, and fireplace resistance. There are two primary instructions in growth of strengthened concrete IBS part which is panelised elements equivalent to partitions and flooring and precast body members equivalent to columns and beams. Jointing at website is the important thing challenge of this method.
2.three.three Classification In keeping with Relative Weight of Part
The IBS elements will be categorized in accordance with their relative weight as in Desk 1 beneath. Relative to weight of part needs to be used as a primary for constructing classification because of the issue of weight has important impression on the transportability of elements and has affect on the manufacturing technique of the elements and their erection technique on website.

Desk 2: Constructing system classification in accordance with relative weight of part. (Majzub, 1977)
In keeping with CIDB (2001), the IBS is a development course of that makes use of strategies, merchandise, elements, or constructing system which contain prefabricated elements and on-site set up. Base on the construction elements of the system, IBS will be recognized into 5 main teams:-
Precast Concrete Framing, Panel and Field Programs.
Precast concrete parts are the commonest kind. There are precast concrete column, beam, slabs, partitions, light-weight precast concrete, and everlasting concrete formwork. In addition to that, it’s also include 3D elements equivalent to balconies, staircases, bathrooms, carry chamber, refuse chambers and and so on.
Metal Formwork Programs.
They typically contain website casting, and subsequently subjected to structural high quality management. So, it’s thought-about because the “low degree” or “least prefabrication” IBS varieties. Nevertheless, this method does supply prime quality finishes and quick development with much less website labour and materials requirement. These embrace desk varieties, tunnel varieties, tilt-up techniques, beam and columns moulding varieties and everlasting metal formworks like metallic decks.
Metal Framing Programs.
This technique generally used with precast concrete slabs, metal columns and beams have all the time been the favored selection and used extensively within the fast-track development of skyscrapers. Current growth in any such IBS consists of the elevated utilization of sunshine metal trusses. It’s consisting of cost-effective profiled cold-formed channels and metal portal body techniques as options to the heavier conventional hot-rolled sections.
Prefabricated Timber Framing Programs.
The merchandise are together with timber constructing body and timber roof truss. Whereas timber roof truss system are extra widespread, timber constructing body system even have its personal area of interest market the place it’s providing fascinating designs from easy dwelling items to buildings requiring excessive aesthetical values equivalent to chalets for resorts.
Block Work Programs.
Through the use of this efficient different system, the tedious and time-consuming conventional brick laying duties are tremendously simplified. The development technique of utilizing typical bricks has been revolutionized by the event and utilization of interlocking concrete masonry items (CMU) and lightweight weight concrete blocks.
