A Recent Study on Industrialized Building System (IBS) in Malaysian Construction Industry: A Systematic Review

Abstract

The construction sector has witnessed a significant increase in the use of Industrialized Building Systems (IBS) as a viable remedy for challenges related to productivity, cost effectiveness, and sustainability. Nevertheless, despite the increasing attention and extensive study conducted on this subject, there exists a significant requirement for a thorough and current evaluation of the most recent advancements in the field of Industrialized Building Systems (IBS). The primary aim of this systematic review is to fill in the current gaps in knowledge by undertaking a thorough examination of the current scientific literature and to give a thorough and up-to-date summary of the current research results on Industrialized Building Systems (IBS) in the Malaysian construction sector using a rigorous methodology that includes systematic search, screening, and synthesis. The expected outcomes are the recognition of developing patterns, inventive technology, and original methodologies in the application of IBS, along by a thorough analysis of their consequences and any obstacles. This article seeks to make a substantial contribution to the academic discussion on Industrialized Building Systems (IBS) by integrating the most recent findings. The final primary data was evaluated after a thorough search of the Scopus and Web of Science databases (n = 23). This systematic study aims to provide industry professionals, policymakers, and researchers with an understanding of the current advancements in the field. Furthermore, this study also aims to provide valuable insights for future research endeavours and practical implementations in the dynamic field of building.
