2. Acknowledgement
First and foremost, we would like to say our thankfulness to Allah S.W.T. for
giving us a chance in completing this report successfully.
Upon the completion of our report and on the site visit for our Construction
Technology studies, I would like to express my gratitude to our lecturer, En Zakaria
bin Yaa’cob ,whom helped to give us guidance and for giving us an opportunity to go
to the CIDB Convention Centre trip in Kuala Lumpur.
It would also not been possible without the kind support and help of many individuals
and organizations. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all of them who has
assisted directly and indirectly in completing this assignment, including my parents for
giving physically, mentally and financial support.
Our special thanks and appreciation also goes to my studio friends for their teamwork
in developing and people who have willingly helped us out with their abilities.

3. Introduction
A process of building construction using concept of mass production of wall, beam, slab and
etc of industrialised systems, produced at the factory or onsite within controlled
environments, it includes the logistic and assembly aspect of it, done in proper coordination
with thorough planning and integration.
Upon the arrival in the IBS Component Gallery, we were welcomed, assisted and given a talk
by the staff about the basic understanding on IBS.
Based on my understanding, Industrialised Building System (IBS) is a technique of
construction where construction are manufactured in factories, transported and assembled
and erected into construction sites.
PROCESS
It literally means that those parts of building that are repetitive but difficult, time consuming,
labour intense to cost at site are design and detailed as standardised components at factory.
The IBS involves casting using innovative and clean mould technologies such as steel,
aluminium and plastic.
Three classification of IBS which is :
 According to structural system : panel, linear, box system
 According to material : timber, bricks, blockwork, steel, reinforced concrete
 According to relative weight of component
MANUFACTURING TRANSPORT ASSEMBLY

4. Purposes
o to move away from the typical paradigm of prefabricated systems.
o should be seen as innovation in construction.
o IBS is not to be seen as a threat to traditional methods. It should be improve their
processes collectively.
o IBS should move up the degree of industrialisation from prefabrication to
reproduction through innovation.
o Promotion towards zero defects and promoting modularisation and standardisation
o Reduce the dependency on foreign workers
o To get the higher quality and better finishes
Advantages of using Ibs system
o Better quality
The ibs component will ensure the low quality products are not marketed.
o Productivity
o Safer construction environment
o Produce large production of ibs
o Producing the right part In the right place at the right time.
o Cost saving because of the repetitive use of material
o Can save time up to 7.2 months compared to conventional method of construction

5. We went to IBS Component Galley, and have a talk with the person incharge .

6. These are the type of component that being exhibit at the gallery.

7. Formwork system
Formwork in IBS can be used using steel
besides timber. The IBS formwork can be
re-used 20 times minimum up to maximum
of 80 times. It is suitable for multi storey
building as most design is repeated in
every floor of the building.
FORMWORK SYSTEM
TIMBER FRAMING SYSTEM

8. INNOVATIVE PRODUCT

9. Blocwork system, IBS
Blocks
The blocks has the
minimum size is
200x100x300. The
minimum size of the block
is equals to six red bricks.
Zen Best is one of the
company that supply
these blocks.
Steel Frame System
There are basically two clours of blue and grey
It is made of quality structural steel and coating with zinc layer.

Mr Mohd Termidzi Haji Mohd Ghani (test engineer)
MAKMAL KERJA RAYA MALAYSIA (CREAM) is one of the largest heavy structural
engineering laboratories in the country. Located in CIDB’s complex in Jalan Chan Sow Lin
which also houses other CIDB establishment such as Pusat IBS, CIDB Convention Centre
and Akademi Binaan Malaysia, the laboratory is fully managed by Construction Research
Institute of Malaysia (CREAM), another subsidiary of CIDB.
The laboratory is equipped with the latest test equipments and facilities to support
CREAM’S function as R&D arm of CIDB and to provide testing services to the Malaysian
construction industry. The establishment of MKRM focuses mainly on improving the quality of
IBS construction systems manufactured locally and in addition providing local researcher and
engineer in assessing the performance and behaviour of structural component used in
Malaysia’s construction industry.
