Conceptual model of cost-benefit analysis for monetary and non-monetary items in industrialised building system (IBS) project

Industrialised Building System (IBS) is known as a construction system that consists of a combination of components manufactured either on-site or off-site then positioned and assembled into structures. Among the benefits of IBS construction includes labour cost reduction, support desirable enviro...
