The document discusses the main components of industrialized building system (IBS) in Malaysia. It describes five main IBS systems: precast concrete, prefabricated timber framing, blockwork, formwork, and steel framing. Precast concrete is the most widely used and consists of precast columns, beams, slabs, and other building components. Prefabricated timber is commonly used for chalets and resorts using timber frames and trusses. Blockwork uses interlocking concrete blocks as an alternative to traditional bricklaying. Formwork involves some site casting using forms. Steel framing is suitable for high-rises due to fast erection and ability to handle large spans and loads.

most widely used IBS system in Malaysia. • It consists of precast concrete columns, beams, slabs, walls, staircases and building components such as toilet pods, balconies, lift chambers, refuse chamber. PREFABRICATED TIMBER FRAMING SYSTEM • Prefabricated timber framing system involves the timber frames, roof trusses, beams and columns. • It is commonly used in simple dwelling units with high aesthetic value such as chalets and resorts. BLOCKWORK SYSTEM • The blockwork system is the alternative to the traditional brick laying technique. • This system consists of interlocking masonry unit and lightweight concrete blocks, which may include hollow cores to make them lighter while improving insulation properties. FORMWORK SYSTEM • This system is the least prefabricated as site casting is normally involved. • Formwork system consists of tunnel forms, tilt up systems, beams and columns mounding forms and permanent steelwork form. STEEL FRAMING SYSTEM • Steel framing system consists of steel beams and columns, roof trusses and portal framing system. • It is usually used in high-rise buildings and skyscrapers due to its fast rapid erection site. This system also has the capacity to transfer heavy loads on a larger span.
