    This document defines industrialized building systems (IBS) as a construction method where building components like walls, floors, beams and columns are mass produced in a factory or on-site under quality control to minimize on-site work. IBS ranges from traditional craftsmanship to more industrialized manufacturing approaches. The systems include both hardware elements like framed, panel and box structures, as well as software elements like design processes, planning and production methods. IBS can be classified based on materials, structural configurations, weight of components, and other factors, but new building technologies may not fit neatly into existing categories.

    Industrialised Building Systems

    DEFINITION OF INDUSTRIALISED BUILDING SYSTEM (IBS)

    An industrialised building system (IBS) may be defined in which all building


    components such as wall, floor slab, beam, column and staircase are mass
    produced either in factory or at site under strict quality control and minimal on
    site activities.

    IBS is a continuum beginning from utilising craftsmen for every aspect of


    construction to a system that make use of manufacturing production in order
    to minimise resource wastage and enhance value for end users.

    An industrialisation process is an investment in equipment, facilities, and


    technology with the objective of maximising production output, minimising
    labour resource, and improving quality while a building system is defined as
    a set of interconnected element that joint together to enable the designated
    performance of a building.
    An IBS in the construction industry includes the industrialised process by which
    components of a building are conceived, planned, fabricated, transported and
    erected on site.
    The system includes a balanced combination between the software and hardware
    components. The software elements include system design, which is a complex
    process of studying the requirement of the end user, market analysis, development
    of standardised components, establishment of manufacturing and assembly layout
    and process, allocation of resources and materials and definition of a building
    designer conceptual framework. The software elements provide a prerequisite to
    create the conducive environment for industrialised to expand.
    Meanwhile, the hardware elements are categorised into three major groups. These
    includes frame or post and beam system, panel system, and box system.
    The framed structures are defined as those structure that carry the loads through
    their beams and girders to columns and to the ground whilst in panel system load
    are distributed through large floor and wall panels.
    The box systems include those system that employ three-dimensional modules (or
    boxes) for fabrication of habitable units are capable of withstand load from various
    directions due to their internal stability.
    CLASSIFICATION OF IBS
    The building system could be classified in different ways, depending on the
    particular interest of their users or producers. Such classification use construction
    technology as a basis for classifying different building systems.
    In this manner four major groups can be distinguished namely, system with (1)timber,
    (2)steel,
    (3)cast in situ concrete, and
    (4)precast concrete
    as their main structural and space enclosing materials.

    These systems can be further classified according to the geometrical configuration


    of their main framing components as follows
    (1)linear or skeleton (beams and columns) system,
    (2)planar or panel systems, and
    (3) three dimensional or box systems.
    The relative weight of components should be used as a basis for building
    classification (Table on next slide). The factor of weight has significant impact on the
    transportability of the components and also has influence on the production method
    of the components and their erection method on site.
    The classification by weight also has the advantage of distinguishing between the
    various basic materials used in the production of component which by itself could
    determine the characteristic of the system under study.
    However, classification method is found to be inadequate to incorporate other
    building system flourish recently. One of the distinct example is the interlocking load
    bearing blocks which was the brainchild of a group of researchers in Universiti Putra
    Malaysia.
    This new building system cannot be categorised according to frame, panel or even
    box system. On the other hand, the composite system that combines two or more
    construction method cannot also be categorised under the Majzub’s classification.
    Hence, the classification needs to be updated to reflect the current technological
    advancement.
