Towards open building system in housing: A joint-venture of building technology for manufactured home in Malaysia

Previous studies show that the implementation of Industrialized Building System (IBS) in Malaysia gives significant benefits the construction industry by reducing the site labour, clean site and fast construction. However, the qualities of the local IBS products are still being argued. Manu...
