Abstract
IBS precast concrete is construction system which is meant to improve the conventional construction process. However IBS precast concrete projects are suffering from serious problems such as cost overrun, delays and less quality of the end product. The absence of coordination is perceived as the reason for this issue. The purpose of this paper is to review the significance of coordination for IBS precast concrete in the construction industry. It if found that the fragmentation which occurs in the construction industry requires continuity of coordination due to the construction activities are intertwined in nature. Coordination is designated to assist stakeholders in completing and complementing each other with the paramount focus of achieving the objective. Proper coordination is required in delivering the desired construction product at the ideal time, cost and quality. As for the findings, the significance of coordination for IBS precast concrete can be seen through the precast concrete construction phases which consist of planning; design; manufacturing; transportation and installation/construction. These phases are meant to complement construction process with the purpose to reduce issues of fragmentation and enhance IBS precast concrete project delivery.
Highlights
The construction industry is mostly characterized as a labour intensive industry, which comprises of several wet trade activities and hard labour conditions
It is always facing with problems such as delay, cost overruns, low quality, poor safety records as well as environmental impacts [1]

Summary
The construction industry is mostly characterized as a labour intensive industry, which comprises of several wet trade activities and hard labour conditions It is always facing with problems such as delay, cost overruns, low quality, poor safety records as well as environmental impacts [1]. The components of precast concrete are produced under laboratory condition using high technology of machinery and computer aided system to meet high quality and durability of the product [6]. By these processes, the quality of precast concrete is known to be more reliable and accurate compared to in-situ concrete construction
