2.1.3 Issues of the Management Industrialised Building System.
2.1.3.1 Cost in management
The processed for installation the structure of industrialised building system (IBS) requires high initial investment capital for pre-casters to purchase new machinery, mould, importing foreign technology and wages of skilled worker. (hazreeni,azam, 2010). In the process, by using the conventional method of construction the project is a first choice from many small contractors are reluctant to adopt IBS system. It may the small contrctor was using conventional method compared the new method. (Kamar, Alshnawi, and hamid, 1779). It may financial issues become the main obstacle for small contractors to move forward with the IBS system (Kamar, Alshnawi, and hamid, 1779). This because of the structure of IBS is highest cost.
2.1.3.2 Knowledgement in Industrialised Building System
As a consumers of Industrialised Building System (IBS), it should be to have a knowledgement and awareness about the Industrialise Building System(IBS). In Malaysia, the adoption of Industrialised building system is a clien...
There were three main factors used for choosing this project. First, its low initial investment that makes
The paper presents a detailed discussion on implementation of BIM in a construction project by defining a BIM team in the various phases of construction i.e. from conception to commissioning. Also, the paper presents a brief discussion on processing the information utilizing the i-rooms.

Another reason for such increase in knowledge on BIM system is application by construction firms like NIKA Architects + Engineers. Respondents have seen BIM system in application or at least held a glimpse through various commercials by such firms, which has engaged the viewers to explore this ideation.
The existing configuration of the buildings structure defines most of the design decisions and shape the successfulness of the projects. For this research project I will study the design barriers that are commonly present in an office to residential conversion and I will analyses and understand case studies related to the theme in order to comprehend the design solutions for each case. Also I will study projects where key design elements have had major impact in the overall success of the
Fletcher building has opened in 1909 in Dunedin, New Zealand and they made a timber weatherboard house. It works in 40 countries and in New Zealand it is one of the biggest company.
To succeed against the competition, the UK construction industry must deliver quality products and services at acceptable costs as a matter of course. But increasingly its stakeholders all those it does business with or who are affected by its operations expect more from the industry in terms of how it operates and its overall impact on society.
Design error is one of the major attributes to the building defects in Malaysia. According to Adejimi, most of the researcher categorised the factors of building defects into three categories which are design error, construction error and bad maintenance culture; however all the factors can be eliminated with a well planning during design stage. It means that construction defects could also originate from the design error which supposed to be avoided at the design
In building construction and in fire prevention there are organizations that have created a useful system on how to determine what type of building falls under which category. The ICC (International Code Council) and the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) create these building codes for the safety of firefighters. The two most commonly known standards for building classifications are the NFPA 5000 and also the International Building Code (IBC). The two are very similar, however, they different on sub-categorizing. The International Building Code uses Roman numerals behind the type of construction. In addition to subcategories with letters for each five classes and the amount of fire resistance provided for each building. NFPA uses Roman numerals behind the type of construction. Unlike the IBC, NFPA uses a 3-digit number system behind that to sub categorize the fire hourly rating for the load-bearing walls, for the beams and columns, and for the floor construction. The IBC and NFPA breaks down construction in to five classes, Type I, Type II, Type III, Type IV, and Type V.
The initial expenses associated with education and acquiring the hardware and software are necessary for transformation from traditional construction projects to BIM. Based on the result of questionnaire by Yan and Damian (2011), this category poses the largest challenges about 40% USA respondent and 20% UK respondent believe that their companies have to allocate lots of time, expenses and human resource in BIM training. The BIM experts pointed out that this is not a real challenge but should rather be viewed as an investment, which would pay off in the long run of construction company.
Globally, green buildings are being recognised and accredited, leading to the introduction of various tools and indices with one common objective that is to evaluate, measure, distinguish and sets apart this uniquely designed buildings from the rest. The Diamond Building carries a Green Building Index (GBI) accreditation, a first in Malaysia. Among the achievement of the ST Diamond Building are:
When trying to design for automated construction systems, all parameters of a construction process must be integrated accurately and constantly to satisfy relevant parties, and finally, the quality of construction materials and products in terms of geometry, physical and design aspects will be changed. In order to reach automated construction goals, all the following aspects have to be fulfilled:
Brooke (1997), explains Estimation as the technical procedure of anticipating the value of the project. Building construction estimation is the process of acquiring the construction value for the whole project before the project starts. Thus, construction attaining process depends hugely on financial management to sustain workability and smooth operations. The delay in construction is a global issue which is due to improper preparation of estimates and lack of drawings (Ajanlekoko, 1987). In accordance to Gkritza (2008), the source of delay in a project are identified to be in the initial stages, like bad quantification, errors in design and ground conditions. Thus, the purpose of a proper estimate is to foretell the cost needed to finish the
In general, there are different types of procurement type for various situations due to no one method can be suitable under the all different construction project. In this case, there are four procurement paths, which are traditional, design and build, management and design and manage, will be advised to use. However, each method has different aspects of advantages and disadvantages.
The beginnings of today's green revolution can be traced back to the environmental awareness of the 1960s and European design. New construction techniques have lead to the development of innovative materials and design concepts. Green buildings are designed, constructed and commissioned to ensure they are healthy for their occupants. Successfully designed green projects can involve an extensive array of factors, ranging from the resourceful use of materials, to careful consideration of function, climate, and location.
