Abstract
The Construction Industry Master Plan (2006–2015) is intended to address
sustainability in the Malaysian construction industry with the objective of globalising its
market. As the sustainability awareness rises globally, the construction industry is under
pressure to improve its efficiency. The adoption of Industrialised Building Systems
(IBS), for which its components are built off-site, has the potential of promoting
sustainability development. However, there is high competitive between IBS method and
conventional method since IBS is a new method of construction. IBS system comes with
its own advantages and specialty in construction industry which is better control of
production environment, minimizing construction waste, using efficient building
material energy, and stabilising work conditions. This research focuses on projects that
use IBS system a method of construction. This project aims to determine the hierarchy
sustainability factors into different productivity and quality aspects. There are four (4)
sustainability factors that had been categorized which are environment, economy, social
and technology. Each of the sustainability factors has their effects on productivity and
quality aspects that influence to building reconstruction after a disaster. End of this
research, the highest of hierarchy for productivity aspect is the environment factors while
the highest hierarchy for quality factors is technology. Throughout this project, further
research on sustainability factors should be conducted to promote IBS adoption on
productivity and quality aspect.
