IBS Digest | Issue 2 2006 03

Edisi IBS Digest pada kali ini memberi fokus kepada Malaysia IBS International Exhibition 2006 atau lebih dikenali sebagai MIIE06. Ia akan berlansung di Akademi Binaan Malaysia Wilayah Tengah dari 21 hingga 24hb. November 2006. Seramai 10 pakar IBS dari Malaysia dan luar negara akan membentangkan kertas masing-masing di sesi seminar yang akan berlansung pada 21 hingga 23hb. November 2006. Pada hari terakhir MIIE2006 pula akan diadakan sesi bengkel selari berkenaan teknologi konkrit pratuang, kordinasi modular, rekabentuk struktur keluli dan kemampanan di dalam rekabentuk bangunan. Tarikan utama MIIE2006 adalah pada pameran dalam dewan yang akan disertai oleh lebih 100 syarikat dan organisasi berkaitan industri IBS; serta tiga struktur IBS berskala sebenar yang dibina di perkarangan ABM. Seramai 3,000 peserta seminar dan pengunjung pameran dijangka akan ke MIIE2006 pada hujung November ini dan oleh itu, jangan ketinggalan!

Turut dipaparkan di dalam edisi ini adalah mengenai kandungan Bajet 2007 dengan memberi fokus kepada angka-angka belanjawan berkaitan sektor pembinaan. Sememangnya, pada waktu ini para penggiat industri memberi fokus kepada Bajet 2007; iaitu belanjawan pertama yang dibentangkan selepas pengumuman Rancangan Malaysia Kesembilan. Keberkesanan Roadmap IBS 2003-2010 amat bergantung kepada projek-projek kerajaan yang dapat memberikan ‘kickstart’ kepada program IBS ini. Namun begitu, di samping memberi perhatian kepada projek-projek pembangunan (‘hard side’), adalah juga penting untuk tidak melupakan kepentingan komponen ‘soft side’ seperti Pengurusan Pengetahuan (Knowledge Management) dan Modal Insan (Human Capital) berkenaan IBS. Program pengindustrian sektor pembinaan tidak akan berjaya sekiranya hanya mereka di peringkat kepimpinan tertinggi yang peka sedangkan para pegawai pelaksana masih bersikap negatif dan gagal menerap pengetahuan mengenai pembinaan IBS. Juga, program-program ‘soft side’ akan memastikan pembangunan industri yang mampan bagi menghadapi cabaran globalisasi.

Di dalam menyokong program pembangunan ‘soft side’ berkenaan IBS, pihak CIDB bergiat aktif dalam meneruskan program-program berkaitan latihan pekerja binaan; terutamanya mengenai pembangunan program latihan berasaskan National Occupancy Skill Standard (NOSS) untuk pemasang komponen konkrit pratuang dan lain-lain jenis IBS. Namun begitu, penglibatan daripada pihak industri adalah tidak begitu menggalakkan terutamanya bagi program-program yang melibatkan sesi bengkel dan perbincangan. Adalah diseru agar lebih ramai penggiat industri tampil untuk membantu program-program pembangunan ‘soft side’ anjuran CIDB dan tidak hanya membataskan penglibatan untuk mengejar projek-projek pembinaan semata-mata.

KEL Knowledge Management

CRUCIAL FOR THE REALISATION OFNATIONAL IBS ROADMAP?

Knowledge was the driving force behind the Industrial Age. It was somehow subsided and nearly forgotten until the next wave arrived which is the Digital Age. This new age has re-surfaced knowledge again as one of the key dimension to propel global growth. Hence, Knowledge Management (KM) is now an important discipline and an essential source that our economy cannot afford to do without, if we were to have competitive advantage and remained relevant.

In Wikipedia, KM refers to a range of practices used by organizations to identify, create, represent, and distribute knowledge for reuse, awareness and learning across the organization. From business standpoint, Harvard Business Review refers KM as the way companies generate, communicate, and leverage their intellectual assets.

We have also seen over the last ten years, highly significant event took placed on the advancement and explosion of information and communication technology (ICT) driven by the liberalization of global economies. This has lead to tremendous transformation in the manner businesses are being executed. The world is not only becoming borderless but also flatter instead of round as the bestseller writer, Thomas L Friedman put it. Information are now highly accessible and being exploited to an unimaginable scale. The rat race for market positioning is as fierce as ever through the capitalization of information, knowledge and innovation.

This scenario has also lead major economies to have greater access than ever before into countries such as India and China to exploit its competitive resources leading to a more competitive product and services in the marketplace.

With this challenging phenomenon, it is now overdue and absolutely critical that we need to expedite our readiness, the know-how and competitiveness of our Malaysian Construction Industry in order to survive and sustain; an industry which is now minus 1.6 % growth based on 2005 government statistics. The fragmented nature of our industry need to be consolidated and reconstructed in order to realize the government’s aspirations on the National IBS Roadmap which targets the industry to be industrialized by the year 2010.

As part of efforts to steer various sectors towards our Vision 2020, the Malaysian government has also launched the National Knowledge-Based Economy Masterplan which was first announced by the government in the Budget 2000. This masterplan marks yet another key government initiative to further accelerate the development of the nation into a knowledge-based economy. It provides strategic framework outlining the changes to the fundamentals of the economy.

These National IBS Roadmap and Knowledge-Based Economy Masterplan have provided a good base information related the policy targets and objectives. However, this information alone will not progress our industrialisation effort. It is only a reference document on policy direction. As such, strategies still need to be formulated downstream within each sector. In doing so, we need to capture our industry knowledge, consolidate, reconfigure and strategise to our best competitive advantage, in order to progress.

A COMPANY IS NOT A MACHINE

BUT A LIVING ORGANISM.

Ikujiro Nonaka, KM Guru specialising on Japanese Business Strategies

By Nik Ahmad Faizul, Industry Development Director, & Wan Amrul Mustapha, Chief Knowledge Architect, Innovacia Sdn Bhd

To one of KM guru, the late Peter Drucker, leaders often mistake information for knowledge. Information is data endowed with relevance and purpose. Converting data into information thus required knowledge. And knowledge, by definition, is specialized.

Another misconception on KM is that it is ICT oriented. ICT is purely a tool to an end. It should not be treated as the driving factor for KM. Business strategies and direction instead, are the true drivers for KM. With a cohesive and collaborative effort involving government and industry, we are in position to consolidate our fragmented industry information and ignite our latent intellectual assets. We believe such assets do exist based on our exposure in national mega infrastructural projects over the past 15 years as well as the world is now being flatten with information at the press of a button.

Knowledge Management CRUCIAL FOR THE REALISATION OF

NATIONAL IBS ROADMAP? However, efforts on the ‘HOW TO’ for the National IBS Roadmap seems way behind and need to be urgently accelerated. One of the major factor for this delay is that the industry by nature, is very much project based instead of program based. The soft aspect has not been fully exploited especially on the management of industry knowledge.

A knowledge based construction industry would induce a conducive environment to propel the acceleration of our IBS Roadmap. However, current mindset on ‘information protectionism’ need to be phased out. This is very much due to the current ‘Red Ocean’ overcrowded marketplace whereby companies are engaged in head-to-head competition struggling to survive, let alone to sustain.

“The development of human capital, the upgrading of the mentality and intellectual capacity of a nation is one of the biggest challenges under the Ninth Malaysia Plan. If we wish to become a knowledge-based economy, if we wish to be a developed country

and maintain that developed status, the development of human capital must be a priority. In the context of globalisation, high quality human capital has become a necessity, not merely a luxury.”

YAB Dato’ Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, 9MP Speech, 31st. March 2006

The ultimate way forward is for us to inject into ourselves intellectual knowledge which will lead us to the Know-How by becoming the specialist within the marketplace. This can be achieved by being more open minded, unbiased, neutral, patriotic, passionate and aggressive in our efforts to support and participate in the realisation of our National IBS Agenda █

IBS on the other hand, is a new industry with endless opportunities. In order to commence with this exploration, it has to start with knowledge sharing as the new working culture within the industry. This approach encourages investment on ‘trust’ which in turn, will lead companies who used to be in competition, to better understand each other and collaborate for improved market positioning in this new ‘Blue Ocean’ industry.

It is only with this ‘Open Collaboration’ environment that we are able to induce participation, develop and steer, impactful downstream strategies to support the roadmap implementation.

This effort on KM however, need to be driven from both top and bottom ends of industry heirarchy. Apart from being policy driven, each industry organization plays an equally crucial role in developing industry’s intellectual capability. This effort will result in the organization to be more specialize and therefore provides an improved strategic positioning for the industry as a whole. Based on the above, we need to create our own speciality and niche in order to sustain. It is only through KM that this can be achieved and therefore, necessitates companies to review their internal organizational strategies and methodologies.

The essence of KM in an organization is best put forward by Alex Bennet, former Chief Knowledge Officer of US Department of Navy. She describes the essence of knowledge management is built on intellectual capital, which includes human capital, social capital and corporate capital. All three are essential components of enterprise knowledge (see diagram).

Human capital is our greatest resource. It is made up of an individual’s past, present and future. Social capital related to communications, human and virtual networks, relationship, collaborations, etc. As for Corporate Capital, it covers intellectual property, corporate assets and organizational processes. Knowledge Management can be viewed as a process for optimizing the effective application of intellectual capital to achieve organizational objectives.

The current industry however, perceived as having assets, financial capital and staff would be sufficient to realize company objectives. It is more focus on the tangible aspect of the organization. The crucial intangible elements were completely overlooked and this has impacted our competitiveness.

In conclusion and as way forward, we clearly need to diagnose ourselves as individual, company, associations, industry as well as the policy makers on the state of our readiness to persevere the demanding and exhaustive rat race for market positioning, and most critically our existence and sustainability in this ever challenging Global climate.

IntroductionConstruction Industry Master Plan (CIMP) 2006-2015 has set the scene for the industry stakeholders to align their activities with the Master Plan objectives. One of the Strategic Thrust entrusted in CIMP is the role of R&D to synergize and fill the gap required to achieve the strategic plan’s goals. The importance of R&D emphasizes the effort required from both the industry players, and researchers to improve and strategize the Malaysian construction industry as stated in Strategic Thrust 5 i.e. innovate through research and development and adopt new construction methods. In order to realize the Strategic Trust, two recommendations are proposed in CIMP to drive the industry forward.

These recommendations are:

Continuously innovate construction process and techniques,Stimulate R&D activities through resource-pooling initiative amongst key players and provision of R&D infrastructure.

IBS Digest | Issue 2 2006 10

KARY

A

Industrialised Building SystemsThe content of Strategic Thrust 5 simplified in Figure 1 realized the importance of IBS as the way forward for the construction in reducing labour dependency which is expected to grow to 5 million people in 2010 (Utusan, 19th. June, 2005).

Despite policy and promotion of IBS, the implementation is still slow except in Klang Valley. The common critical success factors identified to address the slow uptake of IBS by the construction stakeholders include:

• Lack of driver/s from the construction industry stakeholders,• Government initiatives (i.e. directives, incentives, secure projects) are required,• Price competitiveness• Whole life cycle costing• IBS Supply Chain• Information Sharing• One channel of implementation from Government Agency (i.e. JKR, KPKT)• Centre of Research Excellence for the implementation of IBS • Aesthetics• Quality Control, speed• Lack of knowledge on IBS

Strategic Thrust 5In order to realize the implementation and expected target of IBS in Malaysia, CIDB together with the stakeholders and experts have successfully published a document titled IBS Roadmap 2003-2010 (summarized in Figure 2) as the action plan for the industry to refer to and implement.

CIMP 2006-2015 and IBS Roadmap 2003 - 2010 are the strategic directions for the industry to move forward. The understanding of each of the document needs to be discussed with the stakeholders to strategize and to implement IBS.

BUILDING SYSTEMS Workshop on Aligning R&D to CIMP and IBS RoadmapA workshop was held between 26th. May - 28th. May, 2006 to discuss this issue. The workshop organized by CREAM and Technology Division, CIDB has attracted more than twenty representatives from the industry’s stakeholder that aims to determine the problem statement in each of the Strategic Thrust in CIMP and conclude with the R&D proposals to each of the Strategic Thrust. Due to the time constraints, however only Strategic Thrust 5 has been discussed and debated at length.

Problem Statement related to IBSThe big picture related to the slow uptake of IBS identified during discussion is depicted in Figure 3.

Page 12: IBS Digest

IBS Digest | Issue 2 2006 12

Table 1 Product Category

Problem Statement: Product

Precast Manufacturer not keen to proceed with open system concept

No major structural problem related to IBS, but more towards workmanship i.e. more on supervision work

Product scope- too focus on precast concrete components

Design for IBS – minimal usage of MC

Open system non existence

Joints, too proprietary

Lightweight component. (e.g. panel use in Finland)

Japan, etc)

Precast concrete – too focus on heavy instead of light weight

Alternative material not fully exploited

Process/activity in IBS to be friendly, fast and be continuously improve

IBS requires information sharing/database/integration/ on tools, machine, manpower, material along the supply chain

Government agencies e.g. JKR prefers wet joint whereas developer prefers dry joint, (universal joint?) (or combination)

New Construction Materials – light weight , Emphasis R&D on lightweight material such as timber etc.

Connections and Joints – Research and establish standard and catalog of connections and joints – Universal joints. More R&D to be done on universal joint (combination of wet and dry joint)

Waterproofing to construction

Concrete structure inspection and monitoring – case study after/before implementation

Develop instruction manuals through collecting, collating, verifying and codification of IBS practises for Malaysia

Recycling of aggregate, tiles and debris for re-use

More research on alternative material apart from concrete eg. fibre, nanotech, etc .

A good architecture should utilise local materials in the context of Malaysian climate

More R&D on lightweight building material

Material handling technologies – bar coding, JIT planning

Comprehensive study on impact of transportation and logistics cost on IBS

To identify and rectify existing barriers in all Government implementation, regulatory and approval agencies

Table 2 Marketing CategoryProblem statement: Marketing

Product driver- driven by manufacturer instead of customer

Industry marketing strategies –needs be treated as consumer products – consumer oriented

Fragmented database

Metrication of dimension is not a problem with the availability of Architectural, Structural and QS related software which are interoperable but not real time,

Product cost base on elemental costing not as a marketing package – consumer driven and cost effective

To build back the tainted image of IBS,

To conform and align with UBBL requirement and expedite the application process,

Contractor education in IBS and their commitment to IBS initiative- educate the contractor available to apply IBS

Institutions of higher learning to teach and promote IBS with incentives from CIDB/CREAM

Increase manpower to initiate programs on innovative designs –Manpower improvement on IBS for CIDB

Publication and information dissemination in journals, e.g., ACEM and IEM journals, on the latest development - Joints and waterproofing solutions go unheard

Implementation, monitoring and data acquisition on projects – archiving system to keep records – database repository

IP claims and ownership issues – results of R&D cannot be simply published. Need to have a framework to work on

Research on ‘Open System’ (including universal Joints) implementation in Malaysia

Research into an easy way of monitoring quality of raw material, e.g., cement grade, etc.

Production efficiency and production methods for IBS (upstream R&D)

Establish category of manufacturers for production of IBS by way of setting up level of difficulty for each product category

Ready made reinforcement for IBS-Mechanization and Automation of reinforcement manufacturing

LED lamps for general lighting – Light distribution and lense technology – electrical technology such as energy efficiency, wiring design one part of component

Modular designs – “lego” concept – modular coordination to standard the component

This picture is translated into four categories: product, marketing, funding, certification and best practices. The problem statement and R&D topics related to each of these categories as highlighted and agreed in the workshop are explained in Table 1 to Table 4 below:

• Price?• Compatibility and demand (tendering, awarding process)• Government policy, initiatives, directives, way forward, secure projects.• One channel (i.e. JKR)• Centre of Research Excellence• Open System• Quality Control, speed• Lack of Knowledge

The Way ForwardThe discussion on aligning of R&D requirement to CIMP and IBS Roadmap as tabled in this workshop has provided the insights to zoom into the four categories (i.e. product, marketing, funding, certification and best practices) as way forward to be taken on board for future R&D initiatives by the academia and industry. IBS must be considered in holistic approach (social, economy and environment) that aligns with the 5M strategy addressed in IBS Roadmap. The emphasis on the 5M strategy is paramount to ensure innovation in the construction process exists and the initiatives to reduce

labour dependency materialised █

R&D on Certification and Best Practices

CIDB to operationalize cerification related to IBS product and services

To provide case studies on good implementation of IBS project

Develop detailed course content for all practitioners, e.g., local authorities and consultants – more to awareness from all parties universities, ACEM, CIDB and manufacturers

To identify the best practices of IBS i.e. Japan, Finland, Germany

Problem Statement: Certification and Best Practices

IBS certification on products and services non existence

MC certification not widely known

No best practices on IBS published

R&D on Funding

Research on operational issue related to funding from R&D, prototyping and commercialisation (for product research)

Research on software on to support researchers not conversant with cost and costing for commercialisation

Problem Statement: Funding

Disconnectivity of funding from one phase to another not highlighted/clear/transparent eg. Prototyping cost not costed

Researcher not conversant with cost and costing

Mismatch of area of research

Commercialisation – minimal support documentation by CIDB/govt.- e.g. bankers

Database on fund providers not available for researchers

Industry want instant results – academia can only come out with results at a later time. IBS roadmap to address the market timelines, i.e., plan ahead initiatives before embarking on the project

R&D on Marketing

To identify overall framework for product scope in relation to local and global market – framework on R&D

Priority for R&D on manpower (to attract back Malaysian to construction)

Design parametric for repository of accidents, projects, implementations, performance data of installed systems – Safety and health issue

CREAM to initiate studies in the industry and follow through with these initiatives – liaison between industry and the academia

Research on customer needs in Malaysia and open market

Research on other sectors on consumer products eg electronics and its re-adaptation to Malaysia building industry-living lifestyle

Research on integrated marketing approach on products and services eg. to introduce marketing package as per consumer’s affordability/choice.

IBS for low cost housing - continue

To get the academia to study the market – appreciation of industry problems

To treat industry as a databank for the academia to understand and innovate from

Commercial impact on MC usage on product design, manufacturing, etc – all the regulatory in the same line. Insurance study.

Mesyuarat yang bersidang 2 kali setahun ini, terdiri daripada wakil-wakil daripada pihak kerajaan seperti Kementerian Perumahan dan Kerajaan Tempatan, CIDB, JKR dan Perbadanan Produktiviti Negara (NPC), daripada pihak Universiti seperti Universiti Putra Malaysia, Kolej Universiti Teknikal Malaysia, daripada NGO pula seperti Persatuan Arkitek Malaysia, SIRIM Malaysia, Institut Penyelidikan Perhutanan Malaysia (FRIM), Master Builders Association Malaysia (MBAM), Malaysia Structural Steel Association (MSSA), Dewan Perniagaan Melayu Malaysia dan wakil daripada PECB, UEM, Taisei dan ACP Industries █

On the 23th August 2006, CIDB together with Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM) as main organizer, organized Workshop on Timber Application to Complement Modular Co-ordination and IBS.

Industrialised Building System (IBS) has been employed in the Malaysian Construction Industry for quite some time. But so far, its have been not widely utilized especially in IBS. The application of timber in IBS is only confined to prefabricated roof trusses, and this use is also being threatened due to a few inappropriate applications that led to mishaps and further tarnish its reputation.

Timber has been losing its importance and increasingly being replaced by concrete, steel and aluminium in the local building industry. Even though there were some trials by some companies to produce prefabricated timber buildings for low-cost housing scheme, the design and construction were not based on standardized dimensions that comply with MC concept. This workshop had focus on these current issues on timber utilization, how and when to incorporate timber into MC & IBS and engineered timber based products for future application especially in building industry.

The speakers were Ir Noraini Bahri from CIDB, Ar Zawidatul Asma from JKR, Dr Wong Tuck Meng from MTC, Dr Mohamad Omar Mohd Khaidzir from FRIM, Mr Ng Wu Pin from Pryda (Malaysia), Dr Badorul Hisham from USM and Mr Mazlan Mohd Tahir from UKM. At the end of the day, Dr Tan Yu Eng chaired panel discussion on “Timber in IBS and MC: The Way Forward” with Ir Elias Ismail (CIDB) Dr Abd Rashid Abd Malek (FRIM), Dr Wong Tuck Meng (MTC) and Ar Zawidatul Asma (JKR) as panel members █W

On A Lighter NoteOne morning a contractor called an architectural firm and asked to speak to an architect regarding a particular project. The receptionist, with a voice full of regret, said, “I’m sorry, sir, but the architect recently died a slow, agonizing death out on a project site.” The contractor stated his condolences and hung up.

About an hour later the same contractor called back and asked to speak to an architect regarding the same project. Again, the receptionist gave the contractor the bad news: “I’m sorry Sir, but the architect recently died a slow, agonizing death out on a project site.” As before, the contractor mumbled his regrets and hung up.

This pattern repeated itself each hour throughout the morning, until, at last, the receptionist recognized the contractor’s voice and lost her patience, whereupon she said to him, “Sir, why do you keep calling here when you know I’m going to say the architect has recently died a slow, agonizing death out on a project site?” The contractor, exploding with long-suppressed maniacal laughter, gasped, “Because I love to hear you say it!”

Asri Adnan - Unit Penyelidikan, Parlimen Malaysia

Menurut perangkaan, sektor pembinaan domestik mengalami penguncupan sejak tahun 2004. Kajian menunjukkan bahawa antara punca penguncupan ini adalah kerana berkurangnya bilangan projek-projek infrastruktur tempatan berikutan penyiapan beberapa projek-projek besar infrastruktur pada tahun-tahun sebelumnya dan kelembapan aktiviti-aktiviti subsektor kejuruteraan awam.

Antara projek infrastruktur yang siap dibina pada tahun 2004 termasuk Lebuh Raya Pantai Timur (Fasa Pertama), Lebuh Raya SILK, Penchala Link, Lebuh Raya Ekspres Pantai Baru dan Lebuh Raya Ekspres Koridor Guthrie.

Selain itu, perbelanjaan kerajaan yang lebih rendah dan berpilih dalam projek-projek infrastruktur yang besar juga turut menjadi faktor penyumbang.

Jadual 1 dan Jadual 2 berikut menunjukkan perbandingan bilangan dan nilai kontrak sejak 2003 sehingga separuh pertama 2005:

Oleh yang demikian, Bajet 2007 yang dibentangkan oleh YAB Perdana Menteri, merangkap Menteri Kewangan, di Dewan Rakyat pada 1hb September 2006 yang lalu, memberi penekanan, antara lainnya, kepada mencergaskan industri pembinaan tempatan.

Sebanyak RM27.5 bilion telah diperuntukkan dibawah peruntukan pembangunan bagi tahun 2007 untuk pelbagai projek pembangunan yang juga merangkumi projek-projek Rancangan Malaysia Kesembilan dan projek-projek PFI. Sebanyak RM4 bilion akan dibelanjakan dalam beberapa projek PFI sahaja bagi 2007.

Beberapa minggu sebelum pembentangan Bajet 2007, YAB Perdana Menteri telah mengumumkan mengenai 880 projek pembangunan baru dibawah RMK9 dengan jumlah nilai RM15 bilion yang bakal dilaksanakan melalui proses tender dalam tempoh yang terdekat. Sebahagian daripada projek-projek ini dijangka akan mula dilaksanakan pada suku keempat 2006.

Senarai di muka surat sebelah adalah senarai awal yang dikeluarkan oleh kerajaan setelah mendapat maklumat yang diperlukan daripada kementerian-kementerian yang terbabit.

Subsektor kejuruteraan awam dijangka mencatatkan peningkatan dengan perlaksanaan projek-projek infrastruktur RMK9 disamping projek-projek yang sedang dalam pembinaan seperti Lebuhraya Kuala Lumpur-Putrajaya, Lebuhraya Senai-Desaru, Lebuhraya Duta-Ulu Kelang dan kerja menaiktaraf Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Kota Kinabalu (KKIA).

Walaubagaimanapun, mengimbas kembali kepada pembentangan Bajet 2006, dimana sektor pembinaan dijangka pulih pada kadar 3.0% pada 2006 daripada penguncupan 1.1% pada 2005, Laporan Ekonomi 2006/2007 (bertarikh September 2006) yang dikeluarkan oleh Kementerian Kewangan mengunjurkan pertumbuhan sektor pembinaan yang lebih rendah iaitu 0.7% pada tahun 2006. Perangkaan rasmi menunjukkan bahawa pada tahun 2005, sektor pembinaan mengalami penguncupan sebanyak 1.6%.

Sektor pembinaan pada hari ini semakin mencabar dengan faktor-faktor seperti kualiti, kos dan kepuasan pelanggan menjadi fokus kepada dayasaing keseluruhan syarikat-syarikat pembinaan tempatan. Banyak negara di dunia sedang menambahbaik sektor pembinaan mereka dengan meningkatkan lagi penggunaan teknologi, memperkenalkan proses dan perolehan yang lebih inovatif, memperbaiki ciri-ciri keselamatan di tapak-tapak pembinaan dan mengoptimumkan penggunaan tenaga buruh.

Syarikat-syarikat pembinaan tempatan harus lebih berani dan drastik dalam pengurusan perniagaan mereka dan beranjak kepada penggunaan teknologi yang lebih lestari dalam jangkapanjang dan mengambil inisiatif untuk mengambilpakai kaedah-kaedah pembinaan yang lebih efisyen dengan penggunaan tenaga buruh yang minimum seperti penggunaan Industrialized Building System (IBS) untuk jangkapanjang █

Oleh yang demikian, keberkesanan perlaksanaan projek-projek pembangunan dibawah RMK9 kini menjadi semakin kritikal kepada pertumbuhan positif sektor pembinaan domestik. Menurut Kementerian Kewangan, berikutan peluang kerja pembinaan yang terhad dan terdapatnya lebihan kapasiti dalam negara, beberapa firma-firma tempatan yang berwibawa telah meneroka pasaran luar, terutamanya di India dan Timur Tengah dan memperoleh kontrak untuk membinan jalan, lebuh raya dan bangunan dengan anggaran kontrak bernilai RM15.3 bilion yang meliputi 36 buah negara.

S u n g g u h p u n demikian, lebihan kapasiti dalam negara ini perlu diberi perhatian yang sewajarnya. Menurut National Property Information Centre (NAPIC), urus niaga hartanah keseluruhan berkurangan 4.1% kepada 133,322 urus niaga bagi tempoh enam bulan pertama 2006 (Januari-Jun 2005: 0.5%; 136,945 urus niaga) dengan pertumbuhan negatif dicatatkan dalam semua subsektor. Urus niaga kediaman yang meliputi 64.5% daripada jumlah keseluruhan bilangan urusniaga susut 3.4% dalam tempoh terbabit, diikuti urus niaga pertanian yang juga susut 6.6%, komersil susut 1%, pembangunan susut 6.6% dan perindustrian susut 9.8%.

Infusing Aesthetical Emotions

tofor Better Marketing of IBS Components

Architects

IBS Digest | Issue 2 2006 21

It was some time during the peak media discussions on the marketability of our national cars when Raja and I started discussing about the possible missing link in the equation to commercialise a local product after its development. Although Raja is very much into furniture, I am into building. Our common ground is that we are both involved in one type of product development, albeit at a much different scale. We understand the lifecycle process for a product very well. We did wonder aloud why a certain car model thought to have high sale potential ended up otherwise. That was the time when I started to learn about product emotions. Product emotions involve the process of psychological interaction between a consumer and a product where the product has the ability to elicit emotions (Desmet 2002) .

Desmet (2002) describes these emotions as real and have the same qualities as the emotions we experience in our social interactions. Raja and I started wondering whether there is a potential for IBS components to become more marketable to the architects if we were to introduce the concept of aesthetical emotions during an IBS component’s development process.

by Dr. Hjh. Rahinah Ibrahim and Raja Ahmad Azmeer Raja Ahmad Effendi

ARTI

KEL

Aesthetical emotions involve the process of psychological interaction between a designer and a manufactured product where the product has the ability to elicit aesthetical preferential emotions. If we could, there is potential for the country to increase the utilisation of IBS components in a building project. Norman (2004) has identified three types of affective response and processing which occur during the psychological interaction between a product (in our case, an IBS component) and a consumer (in our context, the architect).

The three types of processing are visceral, behavioural and reflective processing. Visceral processing usually deals with the attractive element of a product such as beauty. It is associated with the understanding of how things look, feel and sound. On the other hand, behavioural processing is about activities that relate to the subconscious level of everyday action such as walking, running, talking etc. that is about the everyday use of the product.

Page 22: IBS Digest

In our situation, the architect would automatically think about IBS construction without thinking much about it during design. The last reflective processing is related to the consumer’s image or prestige when using certain products. It is the provision of an avenue for architects to show off to people the creative product they are hired for.

Let us now look at the IBS concept per se and see if we could explain some of the feelings architects feel about utilising IBS for their building projects. At the visceral processing level, let us review the appealing attractiveness of IBS. A number of our architect friends feel that IBS tends to give a lower design creativity image. The designs tend to be monotonous and repetitive in order to meet the economic gains during the building period. Indeed, the gain is for the builder in terms of productivity and delivery efficiency.

The precision efficiency exudes the “engineering” approach which of course, is not on the priority list of design aesthetics. Many feel that the engineering precision somewhat impose control on the creative design flair from emerging freely into the building’s architectural design.

1. Desmet, P. and P. Hekkert. 2002. The Basis of Product Emotions. Taylor and Francis : London.

2. Norman, D. 2004. Emotional Design: Why We Love (Or Hate) Everyday Things. Basic Books : London.

The image of boxy buildings does not augur well with architects. In addition, the cold and hard ambience that concrete is known to represent does not help when the objective of the design is to create a warm and friendly environment, especially if they are for housing projects.

At the behavioural processing level, a design firm must first learn about Modular Coordination (MC) dimensioning system before they can easily transition into what we term as the IBS design mode. The IBS design mode refers to the automatic subconscious reference to IBS systems during the design process. The difficulty here lies in the willingness by the design firms to integrate a learning curve among their staff in order for IBS to transition seamlessly into the design phases. Without this conscious effort, it will be hard to move forward towards our IBS Roadmap’s 2010 vision.

At the third reflective processing level, we believe that many architects still think that cheaper construction delivery means they may have to “strip down” some architectural elements in order to simplify their designs. Therefore, how could they show off their design skills when the end-product could simply be designed and delivered by an IBS components manufacturer? In summarising our assessment, we came to a conclusion that we may be required to inject a new factor we are calling aesthetical emotions into the design process of IBS components especially during the earlier conceptual design phase of a building project.

Our next step forward is planning a strategy on how we can integrate the aesthetical emotions into the critical phases of the property development lifecycle in order to increase the buy-ins from architects and supported by the owners. Unlike the utilitarian products (such as the rice cooker or an electric kettle) that are produced through the industrial design processes, a building project commands a different level of scale complexity involving a bigger project team and more complex processes. In other words, we know that only through research can we strategically infuse the aesthetical emotions into the design process of IBS components.

Readers would have noted that the type of research is most unlikely such as that of a typical engineering research. We are proposing the utilisation of the scientific and established approach in qualitative research since we are dealing with the psychological realm of the architects and owners. The strategies for infusing aesthetical emotions will have to be derived from field observations and in-depth interviews of professionals in the construction industry on top of requiring a deep understanding of the design and manufacturing processes of IBS components. It is our opinion that the infusion of aesthetical emotions into the IBS components will gradually improve the architects’ preference for using IBS components in their building projects.

IntroductionThe decision to replace the existing imperial system of weights and measures in Malaysia with the metric system in 1972 provides a unique opportunity for technological advancement and rationalization in the building industry. The program for change to the metric from 1972 to 1982, however, faced with much difficulty due to the complexity and fragmented nature of the building industry. A coherent system of coordinating dimensions in the building process is crucially needed to facilitate the communication at all levels in the building industry. The approval of the recommendation for the introduction of modular coordination in building in Malaysia by the Government in April 1986 constitutes a positive step to streamline the industry towards proper metrication in building planning, design, construction and manufacturing of building materials and building components.

The introduction of modular coordination in the industry not only provides dimensional basis for the coordination of dimensions and of those buildings incorporating them, but also it acts as a tool towards rationalization and industrialization of the building industry.

1-1 Basis of Modular CoordinationModular Coordination is essentially based on:

• The use of modules (basic module and multi-modules)• A reference system to define coordinating spaces and zones for building elements and for the components which form them.• Rules for locating building elements within the reference system.• Rules for sizing building components in order to determine their work sizes.• Rules for defining preferred sizes for building components and coordinating dimensions for buildings.

1-2 Benefits of Modular CoordinationThe use of Modular Coordination as a dimensional basis for the building industry will pave the way for the creation of open design principles and rules which combine freedom in architectural planning and flexibility in the choice of construction method. It offers designers the possibility of incorporating standardized modular components in building projects effectively due to the following advantages:

• Dimensional coordination for simplification and clarification of the building process. It provides a common language for the building industry players, thus creating better coordination and cooperation between various parties.• Limitation of variants in dimensions of components, reducing design time especially with the use of standardized modular components. • Standardisation of building components, thus reducing manufacturing and installation costs.• Prefabrication of standardized components to minimize wastage of materials, manpower and construction time.• Industrialisation of the building process through the increased usage of modern technologies such as Computer Aided Design and Drafting and Computer Aided Manufacturing.

Modular Design Rules2-1 General Modular Rules

2-1-1 Basic Module M = 100mmThe basic module is the fundamental unit in Modular Coordination and is represented by the letter M. It is adopted internationally. 2-1-2 Multi Modules 3M, 6M, 9M, 12M, 15M etc. Multi modules are used as planning modules for the main dimensions of building framework such as floor span, column distances, etc. It is the multiples of the basic module M. 2-1-3 Sub Modules 50mm (0.5M), 25mm (0.25M)Sub modules are used as for sizing of components requiring increment smaller than M.

2-1-4 Horizontal Planning ModuleThe horizontal planning module for structural framework is based on the multi module 3M. Mh = 3M (300mm)

The selection of the suitable horizontal planning modules is based on the functional requirements of the building and the components to be used for economic design. Refer Table 1.

JointsModular coordination provides a coordinated and an effective system for identifying suitable joints locations. Every joint should relate to a joint reference plane.

ToleranceCoordinating size of a component should include tolerances required in production and placing (manufacturing and assembly). Tolerances to be considered are product tolerances, installation tolerances and interfacing tolerances █

2-1-7 Positioning of Building Elements

In order to coordinate the positions and dimensions of building spaces and elements, different types of reference methods are used:

Boundary ReferenceBoundary reference is used to coordinate the position of the building components and determines the nominal size of the component by placing the component within two parallel modular grids or planes so that it fills the space or modular zone between the grids or planes.

Inter axial ReferenceInter axial reference is used to coordinate the position and dimensions of the building component by a combination of axial and boundary reference.

Axial ReferenceAxial reference is used to coordinate the position of a particular component by placing the component so that the middle axis coincides with a modular coordinating grid/plane.

Flush ReferenceFlush reference is used to coordinate the position of building component by placing one surface (eg. upper surface of a floor) of the component flush on to a modular coordinating grid / plane.2-1-8 Sizing of Component

Coordinating SizeThe coordinating size of a component refers to the size which accommodates the work size of component and allowances for joints and tolerances in order to ensure proper fit during assembly. Coordinating size of a component is always modular.

2-1-6 Reference System – Modular Grids

The modular grid is formed by the planning modules and the basic module. The modular planning grid is used mainly for the design of the structural framework. Modular components are normally placed in the modular grid with their edges along the modular lines. The advantage of using grids is that they provide a continuous reference system in a project.

Basic Modular GridThis is the smallest planning grid used as a basis for developing other grids. The basic modular grid is normally shown only on small scale drawings to clarify the relationships between components. Each square is 1M by 1M ie. 100mm x 100mm.

Multi Modular GridThe multi modular grid is formed with the intervals being multi modules. They can either be squares with same intervals in both directions or rectangular. These grids are based on recommended multi modules. They are used in key plans, showing the building layouts and the positions of main building components.

Tartan GridThe tartan grid is an interrupted modular planning grid in which the intervals or bands of interruption are regularly spaced in both directions and are of different modular order to the general modular planning grid.

Pada 9 Mei 2006 pihak CIDB telah menganjurkan Forum Silibus IBS/MC yang dihadiri oleh pensyarah-pensyarah IPTA dan pihak industri. Majlis forum dimulakan dengan ucapan kata-kata aluan oleh Pengurus Kanan, Bahagian Pembangunan Teknologi Binaan CIDB, Ir. Noraini Bahri. Ucapan beliau lebih merujuk kepada isi kandungan ucapan Bajet 2006 yang mana usaha menggalakkan penggunaan IBS akan diteruskan bagi mengurangkan penggantungan kepada tenaga kerja kurang mahir serta pekerja asing. Beliau juga memaklumkan bahawa tujuan forum seperti ini diadakan adalah untuk memberi pendedahan kepada pensyarah-pensyarah IPTA mengenai penggunaan IBS/MC dalam bidang pembinaan.Majlis diteruskan dengan penyampaian taklimat berkaitan dengan Silibus IBS/MC oleh Prof. Madya. Dr. Ahmad Fauzi Abdul Wahab daripada UTM, Skudai. Isi kandungan taklimat menerangkan tentang kandungan silibus IBS/MC yang telah dibentuk sebelum ini yang mana merangkumi perkara-perkara berikut:

i. Komponen Silibusii. Aspek-aspek yang akan dipertimbangkan iii. Pendekatan pembentukan IBSiv. Penekanan silibusv. Pelaksanaan kursusvi. Perkembangan semasa

Setelah itu panel-panel dari industri membentangkan kertas kerja mereka dan sesi tersebut dipengerusikan oleh Y.Bhg Datuk Prof. Madya Dr. Abu Bakar Mohamad Diah selaku Timbalan Rektor, Kolej Universiti Teknologi Kebangsaan Malaysia dan Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Pakar MC.

Ahli-ahli panel adalah terdiri daripada wakil-wakil organisasi berikut:

Encik Othman Jaki (SP Setia) Dr. Ahmad Fikri Hussein (Dr. Fikri Asscociate S/B) Ar. Lim Peng Keang (Arkitek) Pn. Gan Ryu Chyn (Eastern Pretech)

Pada sebelah petangnya, forum soal jawap berkaitan dengan Silibus IBS/MC dijalankan dengan dipengerusikan oleh Prof. Madya Dr. Ideris Zakaria selaku Ahli Jemaah Dekan-Dekan Kejuruteraan IPTA. Sessi ini juga disertai oleh ahli-ahli panel tersebut serta Puan Salina Bt. Hassan (Bluescope Lysaght).

Soalan: Perlaksanaan Silibus IBS/MC di IPTAdakah silibus IBS yang dibangunkan akan dimasukkan dalam program undergraduate atau post graduate? Bagaimanakah kaedah penilaian subjek? Adakah silibus IBS/MC dapat dilaksanakan dalam masa terdekat ini kerana pengenalan subjek baru di universiti hanya boleh dilaksanakan selepas cadangan tersebut diluluskan oleh Dewan Senat?

Jawapan:Silibus dibangunkan untuk program Sarjana Muda dan boleh digunakan sebagai panduan untuk merangka subjek yang akan diajarkan kepada pelajar IPTA. Kaedah pelaksanaan subjek IBS di IPTA tidak terhad kepada mana-mana kaedah. IPTA berhak menentukan samada subjek ini adalah subjek wajib atau elektif. Begitu juga dengan kaedah pemarkahan. Ianya bergantung kepada cara pelaksanaan IPT masing-masing. Pihak IPT bebas menentukan kaedah penerapan IBS dalam sistem pembelajaran masing-masing.

Ia telah dihantar ke Jabatan Pendidikan Tinggi (JPT) untuk tindakan. Betapa cepat ia akan dilaksanakan bergantung kepada arahan dan panduan dari JPT kepada IPTA-IPTA untuk tindakan selanjutnya.Dalam persediaan ini CIDB berusaha mengumpulkan sebanyak mungkin pakar dalam bidang ini untuk memberi pendedahan dan membantu pihak IPTA khasnya para pensyarah untuk mengajar subjek IBS kepada pelajar. Pensyarah yang akan mengajar IBS di IPTA perlu diberikan pendedahan dalam rekabentuk IBS/MC sebelum mengajar matapelajaran ini kepada pelajar.

Petikan dari sesi soal jawab tersebut telah diklasifikasikan dan dirumus mengikut topik-topik penting yang dibincangkan:

Soalan: Skeptik Terhadap IBSTerdapat persepsi atau pandangan tentang kelemahan-kelemahan yang ada dalam pembinaan IBS yang sering diperkatakan terutamanya seperti kebocoran pada sambungan (joint). Adalah tidak adil sekiranya hanya kelebihan IBS sahaja yang didedahkan kepada pelajar.

Jawapan:Terdapat pelbagai perubahan dan inovasi yang telah dilakukan terhadap tahap kualiti IBS sejak 1981 untuk meningkatkan kualiti bahan dan penggunaan IBS. JKR telah pun melaksanakan beberapa projek IBS sebelum ini dan didapati tiada masalah yang timbul mengenai kualiti pembinaan IBS sehingga kini.

Soalan : Tumpuan Penggunaan IBS/MC di MalaysiaDidapati bahawa CIDB lebih memberikan tumpuan kepada penggunaan precast concrete di dalam forum ini berbanding dengan komponen-komponen IBS yang lain.

Jawapan:Jawatankuasa sememangnya menyedari bahawa tumpuan lebih diberikan kepada penggunaan precast concrete berbanding dengan steel formwork, steel frame, prefab timber dan block work. Walau bagaimana pun ini adalah sebagai langkah permulaan bagi mempromosikan penggunaan IBS dalam industri pembinaan. Adalah diharapkan agar dengan kejayaan precast concrete akan dapat mengembangkan lagi penggunaan komponen IBS yang lain.

CIDB juga bercadang untuk mempromosikan block work system seperti mana pelaksanaan promosi penggunaan precast concrete sebelum ini. Ini adalah kerana kos block work yang lebih murah dapat memberi peluang kepada lebih banyak syarikat untuk menyertainya.

Soalan : Peranan M&E dalam IBSAdakah rekabentuk IBS boleh mengambilkira pemasangan yang fleksibel untuk servis-servis seperti wayar, powerpoint dan sebagainya.

Jawapan:Dalam hal ini terdapat beberapa kelemahan dari segi perancangan (planning) dalam M&E. Dari aspek penyediaan servis yang felksibel ini, kaedah perancangan perlu lebih teratur pada peringkat awal rekabentuk khasnya M&E dan sebagainya. Ini juga memerlukan jurutera atau arkitek yang berpengalaman. Penyediaan siling tergantung juga berupaya menangani masalah pemasangan dan penempatan servis-servis.

Soalan: Peranan Industri Dalam Silibus IBS/MC di IPTSejauh manakah kepentingan sumbangan pihak industri kepada silibus IBS untuk IPTA? Bagaimana industri memainkan peranan dalam pelaksanaan IBS dalam kandungan kokurikulum di IPTA.

Jawapan:Pihak industri perlu memainkan peranan dalam pendedahan IBS kepada pelajar IPT. Ini boleh terlaksana melalui latihan industri atau praktikal.Penggunaan IBS di luar negara adalah amat menggalakkan kerana faktor yang berbeza terutamanya berkaitan dengan kos buruh binaan. Ini ditambah lagi dengan kekurangan alat bagi membantu dalam kerja-kerja rekabentuk IBS. Untuk itu, industri amat memerlukan graduan-graduan yang mempunyai pengetahuan yang baik mengenai IBS kerana sebelum ini, industri perlu melatih semula graduan dengan menyediakan latihan untuk tempoh yang lama sebelum mereka mahir dengan penggunaan dan rekabentuk IBS. Oleh itu, industri amat mengharapkan agar bilangan graduan yang mempunyai pengetahuan IBS akan meningkat sekiranya silibus IBS dimasukkan dalam sistem kokurikulum IPTA. Buat masa ini pendedahan mengenai IBS kepada pelajar pada masa ini telah ada tetapi tidak begitu mendalam dan masih tidak memadai.

Soalan: Penggunaan IBS/MC di Agensi KerajaanSejauh manakah aplikasi penggunaan IBS dalam pelaksanaan kerja-kerja pembinaan oleh agensi kerajaan terutamanya Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR).

Jawapan:Penggunaan IBS di JKR tidak begitu meluas kerana kurangnya pendedahan terhadap sistem ini kepada jabatan. Pihak JKR berharap agar pereka JKR diberikan pendedahan dan latihan yang cukup untuk menghasilkan rekabentuk IBS untuk projek-projek yang akan datang. Salah satu masalah yang ada dan perlu ditangani ialah penggunaan standard/piawai oleh industri yang berbeza-beza antara satu sama lain.

Soalan : Hubungan Universiti-Industri Dalam R&D IBSBagaimanakah tahap penglibatan Malaysia di dalam pelaksanaan R&D IBS, dan setakat manakah kesanggupan pihak industri untuk bekerjasama dengan universiti dalam melaksanakan kerja-kerja R&D IBS?

Jawapan:Beberapa pihak industri sebelum ini sudah pun menjalankan kajian penyelidikan dan pembangunan dengan pihak CREAM. Kajian yang sedang dijalankan adalah mengenai kesan Seismik.

Kerjasama antara pihak IPTA dan industri adalah perlu. Kerjasama boleh dilaksanakan melalui projek penyelidikan dengan pihak industri. Dengan adanya penyelidikan yang dijalankan oleh pihak IPTA, industri berpendapat bahawa ini adalah salah satu usaha jangka panjang yang memberi manfaat kepada industri. Pihak industri juga sentiasa bersedia untuk berkongsi pengalaman dan kepakaran mengenai IBS dengan pihak unversiti. Industri juga tidak keberatan untuk memberikan sumbangan dalam bentuk kepakaran atau material.

Adalah disarankan agar pihak universiti dan industri sedia untuk berkerjasama untuk memajukan IBS serta melihat kepada kesan jangkamasa pendek disamping kesan jangka masa panjang.

PROGRAM PENDAFTARAN SYARIKAT/

Pendaftaran Mulai Julai 2006, CIDB telah mengedarkan borang – borang pendaftaran syarikat/pengeluar dan komponen IBS kepada para pengeluar IBS bagi mendaftarkan syarikat dan komponen IBS mereka. Pendaftaran syarikat/pengeluar dan komponen IBS merupakan proses pendaftaran syarikat yang mengeluarkan komponen - komponen IBS dengan berpandukan kriteria-kriteria yang telah ditetapkan. Melalui proses pendaftaran ini, CIDB dapat menjalankan program penapisan pengeluar IBS berdasarkan kepada kriteria yang telah ditetapkan dan ia juga menggalakkan para pengeluar komponen IBS untuk a g a r mempunyai program kawalan kualiti, ‘product performance requirement’, ’standard operating procedure’ dan lain-lain. Selain daripada itu, ia dapat mengelakkan lambakan sistem IBS yang tidak bermutu di pasaran.

Buat masa ini, pendaftaran tersebut tidak dikenakan sebarang bayaran. Syarikat-syarikat tempatan yang membangunkan/ mengeluarkan komponen-komponen IBS berikut adalah dipanggil untuk mendaftar:

i. Precast concrete systemsii. Steel framing systemsiii. Steel formwork systemsiv. Timber framing systemsv. Blockwork systems.

CIDB telah mengeluarkan sebanyak 4 jenis borang pendaftaran syarikat/ pengeluar IBS (IBS Company Registration Form) seperti berikut:

i. Precast Concrete Components & Block System BSI 1A ii. Metal framing Systems BSI 1B iii. Metal Formwork Systems BSI 1C iv. Timber Framing Systems BSI 1D

Setiap borang mengandungi lima bahagian iaitu:

i. Bahagian A – Maklumat mengenai syarikat.ii. Bahagian B – Maklumat sistem, komponen atau produk keluaran iii. Bahagian C - Manual sistem pemasangan/ prosedur piawaian seperti ‘method of construction, method statement’ dll.iv. Bahagian D – Kriteria IBS seperti cara pengeluaran, produktiviti dll.v. Bahagian E – Deklarasi

LatarbelakangSemenjak tahun 2003, pihak Lembaga Pembangunan Industri Pembinaan Malaysia (CIDB) mula mengadakan program penyenaraian syarikat-syarikat pengeluar komponen IBS. Sehingga Julai 2006, sebanyak 138 syarikat pengeluar dan 347 komponen IBS telah disenaraikan. Walau bagaimana pun, usaha pengumpulan ini tidak membabitkan sebarang proses penilaian, sama ada pada syarikat mahu pun komponen tersebut. Penyenaraian adalah lebih kepada bentuk pendedahan kepada industri dan tiada nilai tambah ditawarkan oleh pihak CIDB.

Proses penilaian dan pendaftaran syarikat IBS dan komponen IBS dilihat adalah perlu kerana penggunaan komponen-komponen IBS memerlukan komitmen yang tinggi dari segi aspek keselamatan. Sebagai contoh, sebagai syarikat/pengeluar komponen IBS, ia haruslah mempunyai sekurang-kurangnya mempunyai “Method of Construction/ Method of Statement / Installation Manual / Safety Installation”. Ini adalah untuk mempermudahkan para pembeli atau pemasang komponen IBS tersebut melakukan kerja-kerja pengangkutan dan pemasangan di tapak.

PENGELUAR & KOMPONEN IBSKelebihan

Antara kelebihan yang dinikmati oleh syarikat/pengeluar komponen IBS ini apabila pendaftaran adalah:

i. Syarikat mereka akan diberikan “IBS Status Company”. “IBS Status Company” merupakan pengiktirafan yang diberikan kepada syarikat-syarikat yang telah melepasi kriteria - kriteria yang telah ditetapkan oleh CIDB.

ii. Di masukkan ke dalam pengkalan data CIDB dan mempermudahkan agensi-agensi kerajaan untuk mendapatkan maklumat bagi syarikat/pengeluar dan komponen binaan IBS. Pengkalan data ini akan digunakan oleh CIDB untuk menyenaraikan syarikat/pengeluar dan komponen binaan IBS yang mana senarai ini boleh digunakan oleh pihak kerajaan dan lain-lain untuk mengenal pasti syarikat/pengeluar dan komponen binaan IBS.

iii. CIDB akan mempromosikan pengeluar yang berdaftar secara tidak langsung.

iv. Para pemain industri dapat memilih pengeluar IBS yang berkualiti melalui bank data CIDB █
