Industrialised Building System
This exercise predominantly relates to the topics of Industrialised Building System (IBS). Before embarking on this exercise, different types and methods of the IBS system and the calculation of IBS scoring will be explored.
A physical sectional model of the building to show the IBS components in detail.
Industrial Building System (IBS) is a construction process or system which uses standardized building components that are mass- produced in a controlled environment. The building components are then transported and assembled into a building structure using appropriate machinery and equipment with minimal workers on site. Building components which are often used in the IBS projects include panels, slabs, beams and staircase units and roof structures.
There are five main types of IBS system categories that are used in Malaysia:
01 PRECAST SYSTEM
02 STEEL FORMWORK SYSTEM
03 STEEL FRAMING SYSTEM
04 BLOCKWORK SYSTEM
05 PREFABRICATED TIMBER FRAMING
The IBS systems that applied to the 3-storey building design is the precast system for the columns, beams, slabs, panel and stairs. Steel framing is used for the roof structure and toilet pod structure, There are many advantages by using IBS system which including reduction of site labour, minimal wastage, faster project completion and lower construction cost On top of that, this system promotes sustainability, improves site safety, quality and productivity in the construction environment.
