Factors Towards Site Management Improvement for Industrialised Building System (IBS) Construction

Abstract Site management practicing the best method for Industrialised Building System (IBS) construction leads to favourable environment. This research aims to develop an integrated site management system improvement; the team work, the workplace and the materials & machinery for IBS construction. Questionnaire survey was distributed among 314, IBS contractors registered under CIDB. The result revealed that the improvement factors in site management for IBS construction categorised into five which include the management, workplace, work team, safety, and material and equipment. Thus, the research reinforced that the integration of all these factors is significant e towards the improvement of site management system for IBS construction.
