Abstract
Since the launching of the Industrialised Building System (IBS) first project in 1960's, the Malaysian government has enthusiastically promote the IBS as a successful tool to deliver a construction project and to ease the problems that have been long haunting the Malaysian construction industry such as delay, wastage, defects and the negative 3D (Dirty, Difficult and Difficult) image of construction industry. So far, the take ups are still below targeted figure as stipulated in IBS Roadmap 2003–2010. Thus, this paper aims to identify the involvement of Sarawak contractors in IBS through questionnaires. The results indicated that IBS is still considered new to most of the contractors in Sarawak and thus, further indicated that they were still lacking exposure to IBS. Most of the contractors agreed that IBS will enhance better project delivery. However, lack of volume to economically use of IBS becomes the main setback to the implementation of IBS in Sarawak.
