Why Modular is Better?

Traditional method of building process brings all the workers, machineries, and materials to the ground where the building is to be constructed. It contributes to the same problems plaguing construction industry for so long; over-reliance of cheap labour, inconsistent quality, prone to delays, substantial material waste, and dangerous working environment to name a few.

IBS provides means to improve this building process which give advantages to the industry. Among the benefits of IBS are:

Cost
• Requirement of few on-site workers significantly reducing labour cost for contractors (installers).
• Minimum material waste through quality control and continuous improvement.
• Sustainability as component moulds could be used repeatedly for different projects, allowing economic of scale and reduction in amortisation cost.
• Exemption of the Construction Levy on residential developments with at least 50% of IBS content

Quality
• Consistent high quality-controlled products through practice of Standard Operating Procedure (SOP).
• Eliminate substandard product through ‘zero-defect’ programme.
• Skilled workers with specific scope of works improve efficiencies and reduce errors.

Time
• Faster completion of projects due to advance off-site preparations and efficient installations.
• Manageable construction schedule by the use of planning control, estimated lead time and forecasted down time.
• Not affected by weather element as off-site production allows 24-hours operation.

Safety
• Promote safe and systematic factory working environment.
• Safer working environment as minimal work is required on-site.
• Cleaner sites due to timely material delivery, systematic components storage, reduction of construction material and waste on-site.
