| description | Constructability is generally reducing the problems of construction by incorporating the
construction knowledge into the design of a construction project. The Malaysian
construction industry is attempting to promote and use Industrialized Building systems
(IBS) for better construction practice with more effectiveness and efficiency, but in
terms of constructability and research into the application of constructability concepts
for IBS little work has been done. In fact the Malaysian construction industry is still not
applying the concepts of constructability in totality and there is lack of constructability
research in Malaysia. In this research the application status of constructability concepts
which have been previously defined for Malaysia are examined and assessed within the
Malaysian IBS industry. The ease of constructability application of IBS and
conventional building methods are investigated and finally the concepts that are not
being applied up to their potential level in IBS construction and resemble possible problems in the process of application are identified. A survey is used to obtain the
essential data needed for the research from the active IBS industry participants of
Malaysia. It was found that the IBS contractors are applying constructability more than
the designers and suppliers and also the early constructability concepts gained a higher
application score than other concepts. Using information technology and the innovative
concepts of the field operation phase were the most difficult concepts to apply and
generally the application of constructability concepts in IBS construction is easier
compared to the conventional building systems according to the IBS industry
participants. |
