Abstract

The construction industry (CI) is the main driver of sustainable development (SD) and economic expansion in society. Industrialized building systems (IBS) promote productivity and improves quality on construction sites. The purpose of this study is to investigate ways of improving the use of IBS in the SACI. For this study, data was collected using primary and secondary sources of data collection. The study adopted a quantitative research approach with data gathered from the respondents within SACI. The findings revealed that the most significant ways of improving IBS use in SACI are government incentives towards IBS supporting projects, specialized training for IBS contractors, and improving the educational curriculum to include IBS methods. Construction waste is a by-product of construction demolition and renovation and has caused adverse effects on the environment. Therefore, one of the way to mitigate such environmental hazards is to use IBS. This study will contribute greatly to sustainable construction delivery in South Africa, socio-economic growth and will aid fast delivery of construction projects in terms of cost, time, and quality. Also, construction waste hazards causing harm to the environment can be reduced with the correct implementation of IBS in society. CCS CONCEPTS • Applied engineering • medium relevance
