Attraction Factors in Choosing Industrialized Building System (IBS) Method over Conventional Building System
Keywords:
Industrialised Building System (IBS), Flexibility, Supply Chain, ConstructionAbstract
Industrialised Building System(IBS) is defined as a construction system which components are manufactured in factory or offsite. The components then being positioned and assembled into structure with minimal additional site work. This field study was conducted directly between the researchers with 70 respondents, representing 70 IBS companies in Peninsular ofMalaysia. The purpose of the research is to identify the attraction factors that can influence the entrepreneurs and IBS contractors to choose IBS construction method in their constrcution rather than the conventional construction system method. Descriptive analysis are being used and varimax rotated principle component analysis is also being conducted. The research result shows that kaiser Meyer Olkin (KMO) statistical value is 0.861 surpasses the usable legal 0.6 value and Barlett
