Abstract :
Industrialised building system (IBS) is a construction system that uses the minimum additional work where the components, elements and panels are produced manufactured, transported, positioned and assembled into a complete building structure. The wall components are one of the main elements of the buildings that use IBS. Lack of design which meets the requirements of the construction cause waste. IBS production has not been able to meet the demand of the market that increased over the years. Therefore the Government encourages the development and production of IBS. The objectives of this study are to identify the needs and requirements of the wall design in construction of IBS, to develop wall panels system with effective installation technique based on IBS principle and to analyse in order to achieve the best design in accordance to industrial, flexible and demountable (IFD) concept. Results of the study show that respondents are more likely to choose the size of the panel at 600mm x 300mm x 150mm by using lightweight concrete. Study on IBS innovation through IFD approach is important in bringing a new era of improving building technology in Malaysia.
