Aizad, Johari TH Building construction Industrialised Building System (IBS) is a system that used prefabricated components manufactured in the factory using highly skilled workers and heavy machinery. This method is effective to reduce the number of unskilled workers at construction sites as well as to solve some of the problems associated with construction projects such as lowering the cost of construction projects, shorten the construction time, creating a construction site clean and safe. There are five types of IBS used in this country which is pre-cast concrete framing, panel and box systems, steel formwork, steel framing, prefabricated timber framing and block work systems.

This study focus to review the usage of IBS in the construction industry among the practitioners and its implementation in school construction projects in this country. Research is carried out by performing surveys using questionnaire and interview methods to obtain all the information.
