IBS to speed up building of public housing

JOHOR BARU: The Government is looking to fully implement the Industrialised Building System (IBS) mechanism for all public housing projects of lower-income families in Kuala Lumpur.

Federal Territories and Urban Well-being Minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin said the mechanism would speed up the construction of such housing pro­jects by half the time compared with the conventional way, while only a third of workers would be required.
