Key success factors for team integration practice in MalaysianudIndustrialised Building System (IBS) construction industry

摘要

Industrialised Building System (IBS) has been recognized as synonymous with industrialisation of the constructionudindustry . In Malaysia, the domination of traditional method in IBS project has gained much attention not only fromudresearchers but also construction industry practitioners as the implementation of IBS through traditional approachudalmoat always led to the rise of construction problems such as increasing project time and cost, redesigning,udineffective supply chain, and others. Fragmentation process in traditional method is not a line with the concept ofudIBS which is required a high communication and collaboration among the project stakeholders. This study tookudcloser look at current practice of IBS projects in Malaysia, at the need for an integration approach, and at theudavailability of integrated approaches in IBS projects with the objective of identifying critical success factors forudintegrated teams in IBS construction projects. The findings from the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) amongudconstruction industry stakeholders revealed the main barriers to the IBS adoption in Malaysia’s construction industryudto be poor integration among project stakeholders during the planning and design phase. This was due to theuddomination of the fragmentation concept of the traditional method.
