Construction sector urged to adopt IBS


Institution of Engineers Malaysia (IEM) president Datuk Lim Chow Hock said there were about 150,000 experienced engineers in Malaysia.

PUTRAJAYA: The construction industry should be prepared to adopt the industrialised building system (IBS) within three years before it is made mandatory, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

Ahmad Zahid said in a statement that the decision was made during the high-level committee meeting on the Enforced Implementation of IBS Usage in the Construction Industry, chaired by him at Parliament yesterday.
