According to Diez (n.d) IBS is defined as the total integration of all subsystems and component in the overall process full use of industrial production, transportation and installation methods. IBS term is defined as an innovative process construction of buildings using the concept of mass-production industrial system, produced in the factory or on site in a controlled environment, it including aspects of logistics and installation, carried out in cooperation with the appropriate systematic planning and integration (Kamar, 2009)
Industrialised Building System (IBS) is the term used in Malaysia for construction techniques in which the components are manufactured in a controlled environment, either on-site or off-site, positioned and assembled

Wet join system has been identified to be suitable for use in tropical climates, and it is also better to use in type of bathroom a bit wetter than those in Europe (CIDB, 2005).Today, the use of IBS as a method of construction in Malaysia is evolving. Many private companies in Malaysia have teamed up with foreign expert to offer solutions to their IBS project. Many had acquired enough knowledge through technology transfer to build up own capacity in IBS technologies. In fact, Malaysian was also keen on developing own IBS technologies 2.2 Classification of IBS
In Malaysia, industrialised building system has been classified into five categories which is timber frame system, block work system, steel frame system, steel formwork systems and precast concrete framing panel and box system. (CIDB, 2003). IBS is a construction process that use products, components or building and lastly is techniques which involved prefabricated components and onsite installation.

According to Thanoon et al (2003) this system allows pre-caster to produce a limited number of the various elements that have been assigned product and at the same time maintaining the aesthetics value of architecture
Despite the many advantages inherent in open building systems, acceptance suffered a major setback. For example, joint problems and connections occur when two different elements of the system remain together. This is because similar connection technology must be Observed order to achieve greater structural performance. 2.3.2 Closed System
A closed system can be classified into two categories which are,
1. Based on client design
2. Production based on Pre-caster design
It will meet requirement of that the spaces required for various functions in the building as well as the specific architectural design. Customer needs paramount and as pre constantly forced to produce components for a
Industrialization is the process in which an economy is changed from an agricultural economy to a manufacturing approach and manual labor is replaced by machines in factories. Industrialization brought a more diverse amount of goods and more total goods and improved living for many but, for others it resulted in harsh working and living conditions for the poor and working class. Many positives and negative were present during the industrialization of the U.S. Positives such as more goods being distributed, easier way of doing things, and being able to mass produce. Negatives like children working long and difficult jobs and many workers having poor working conditions.
It is somewhat by accident that I find myself drawn towards the field of Construction Science. I have always enjoyed building with an incorporation of moving parts. When I was young, I started building toy cars, airplanes, dinosaurs, and everything an eight-year-old boy would imagine. It was like striking gold! I could build tracks, and cars with wheels to go on the tracks. I could even build towers with moving parts that reached the living room ceiling. Needless to say this unassuming box of used gadgets fostered a growing excitement towards construction and architecture. As my knowledge of the field grew, so did my curiosity about the assembly and preparation it takes to build useful assets like houses, hotels, even parking garages. I am pursuing a degree in Construction Science, which encompasses not only creating new spheres of urban development, but also a supporting a structure that helps a community grow. After attending Blinn College, I feel the need to expand my knowledge in the field of architecture by attending the highly credited University of Texas A&M.

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.
The structural system, deriving from the I.B.M. Building in Seattle, is impressively simple. The 208-foot wide facade is, in effect, a prefabricated steel lattice, with columns on 39-inch centres acting as wind bracing to resist all overturning forces; the central core takes only the gravity loads of the building. A very light, economical structure results by keeping the wind bracing in the most efficient place, the outside surface of the building, thus not transferring the forces through the floor membrane to the core, as in most curtain-wall structures. Office spaces will have no interior columns. In the upper floors there is as much as 40,000 square feet of office space per floor. The floor construction is of prefabricated trussed steel, only 33 inches in depth, that spans the full 60 feet to the core, and also acts as a diaphragm to stiffen the outside wall against lateral buckling forces from wind-load pressures.

are used as the integral components of the architectural design, this reflecting a conceptual cohesion that is missed in previous architecture.
For the past several decades, embodied energy has been studied to interpret the relationships among building materials, construction processes, and their environmental impact. Embodied energy can be defined as the energy consumed by all of the processes associated with the production of a building — from processing to manufacturing — and does not include the operations and disposals of the building material (Cabeza 230). In relation to issues within the environment, concerns are principally concentrated in energy consumption and carbo...
BIM contains precise geometry and relevant data needed to support the design, procurement, fabrication, and construction required to recognize the building (Eastman et al. 2008). Basically, the purpose of BIM is to simulate the construction environment in a virtual database that can be used during the physical construction as well as a virtual model for operations and maintenance after construction is finished. In the beginning, you have access all areas of the project and can determine whether certain areas will need more time in design, where various clashes may happen, or what could be changed for a lower cost. or to speed up the building phase. In his article, Salaman Azhar said, “It is important to note that BIM is not just software, it is a process and software. BIM means not only using three-dimensional intelligent models but also making sig...
These are manufacturing buildings, property and warehouses. The purpose of these buildings is to use them for research, production, storage and distribution of goods. This is also considered as commercial real estate some time, even the construction and sales are handled differently.
The Construction industry in the US has faced some interesting changes throughout its progression. From economic instability during the housing market crash to amazing technological advances to reduce the need for construction workers and therefore the cost associated with newly built properties in the real estate market. Beginning with the first tools ancient man used to carve their niche in the soon to be global expansion of arguably one of the oldest trades in history, construction has a rich history of trial and error, analysis and engineering that covers a very necessary skill that directly affects everyone who seeks and finds shelter, a place to work or any aspect of public works and many
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.
Meanwhile, due to the fact that the space is being designed specifically for the individuals needs therefore, it conveys personality and energy of the person. Evoke harmonized feelings, perspective and state of the client’s needs play major role in the final design. For instance, if a client wants to keep some of their existing sentimental valuables (such as a piece of art work), designers must work around that need. The designer can create do-it-yourself projects where they can satisfy the customer’s needs while being on budget. Harmony and balance are also important, so designers must keep in mind functionality ( feng
