FOREWORD

The goverment has put a lot of emphasis to move away from labor intensive activities toward
technology intensive activities. This is part of the initiatives to achieve the objectives of producing
and delivering high quality product, value for money and to stay competitive.

Over the years, CIDB has taken many initiatives to industrialise the Malaysian construction
industry by promoting the use of lndustrialised Building System (lBS). As an initial step towards
open industrialisation, CIDB also promotes the use of standardised building components and
off-site construction.

The IBS Content Scoring System (lBS Score) is systematic and structured assessment system
that can be used to measure the usage of IBS in a cosistent way. lt is intended to be a guide for
those who are interested in measuring the content of IBS in any buildinng project. The IBS
Score can be used, for any purpose, be it for satisfying the regulatory requirement and also for
satisfying the requirement of any incentives program.

I hope this guide will become an important initil effort towards achieving open industrialisation
of the construction industry.

1.0 lntroduction
Prosperity and high economic growth in Malaysia has created a high demand fur sxfructi:n
activities. As a consequence, this has attracted huge number of foreign workers inb tis co.rtry
to take up employment on site as unskilled labour doing manualjobs. Despite trci cutbhfins.
the country is in a quagmire with a host of problems such as low quality works, delays- E
ages, social problems, diseases, etc.

As such, some form of government intervention is highly needed. lndustialbatbn cf tE


construction industry is seen as the only feasible way forward. The govemment ha H qt a
comprehensive national lndustrialised Building System (lBS) Road Map for the smtutrr
industry players to adopt in the industrialisation programme of the construAion hdsfy-
Essentially, the Road Map evolves on the policy of phased reduction of dependency m fuei7t
labour and encouragement policy on the investment in technologies, techniques and processes
of construction. lt lays out definite action plans which when successfully implemented sH
ensure a successful upgrading of our construction industry.

As a push for more utilisation of lBS, a number of encouragement and regulatory requirements
have been put forward. An example of such regulatory regulatory requirements is the
implementation of minimum IBS Score in government building projects.

To standardize the method of measurement of IBS Score, CIDB published the Manual for IBS
Content Scoring System in 2005. The manual has provided a systematic and structured
assessment system that can be used to measure the usage of IBS in a consistent way. Since
its introduction, CIDB received a lot of suggestions for enhancements and improvements to
existing manual. Taking into account the introduction of new technologies, new policies and
environment, CIDB after consultations and input from the construction industry, publishes this
edition of manual.

This 2010 edition of IBS Score Manual replaces the 2005 edition.

2.0 Objective
The objective of this Manual is to provide a well-structured assessment system for the IBS
Score. lt sets out the IBS Score formula, the IBS Factor for each of the elements used in the
building, methods of calculating the IBS Score, explanatory notes as well as sample
calculations. lt is also intended to provide guidance for every professional to evaluate the IBS
Score for any building project.

3.0 Principles of lBS Score


The IBS Score puts emphasis on the following attributes: -

a) the use of prefabricated and precast concrete components

b) off-site production of components

c) the use of standardised components

d) repeatability

e) design using Modular Coordination concept

Higher IBS Score is a reflection of a higher reduction of site labour, lower wastage, less S>
materials, cleaner environment, better quality, neater and safer construction sites. fusfurptid
completion as well as lower total construction costs.

The method of determining the IBS Score is designed to be a simple but efbcfire trc.
Points are awarded based on the IBS Factors of the structural and wall elernenb used- TIE
presence of high repetitiveness in the design as well as other simplified constnrctbr sd.futs
shall also contribute to the total score. The points are summed-up to gi\,e tE IBS Scre d a

4.0 The IBS Content Scoring System (lBS Score)
Maximum IBS Score for a building is 100 points. The IBS Score is made up of the following
components:

a) Part I -Structural Systems (Maximum score is 50 points)


Points are awarded for various types of structural system used
e.g. precast concrete beams and columns, steel, prefabricated timber, etc

b) Parl2 - Wall Systems (Maximum score is 20 points)


Points are awarded based on various types of wall systems used
e.g. precast concrete panel, glass, dry partition, block work, etc.

c) Part 3 - Other Simplified Construction Solutions (Maximum score is 30 points)


Points are awarded based on usage of other simplified construction solutions. e.g.
standard components based on MS 1064, and repetition of structural layout.:

used; out of the total construction area of the hddig irdderod
Fs - IBS Factor for the particular structural systern from Table 1 and Table 1A

a) Maximum IBS Score for this part is 50 points.

b) The IBS Score for a particular structural system is the product of the percentage
construction area covered by the systern and the corresponding IBS Factor from
Table 1. ln order to arrive at the IBS Score, it is multiplied by the score of 50
points.

c) For simplicity, the dimensions for the calculation of construction areas may be
read from the grid line or other methods such as direct measurement frorn drawirqs.
The construction area for structure is taken as the plan area covered by the
building line underneath it. As such, the construction area for roof is sirnilar to
construction area of beam/column underneath it. Refer examples in Sedirn 6-

d) For elements that are not horizontal, e.g. roof, staircase and all ofrrer doped
surfaces; plan areas shall be used for the calculation.

e) IBS Score calculation includes superstructure elements of a bulflrg trrty-

6.3 How to Calculate IBS Score for Part 1: Structural Systems and Part 2: Wall Systems
The approach is always to treat the components as performing in an "n-shape" structure

As an example,

For Ground Level:

Consider types of structure used for 1st Level Beams, Ground to 1st Level Columns, 1st
Level Floor and Ground Level Walls.

For 1st. Level:

Consider 2nd Level Beams, 1st to 2nd Level Columns, 2nd Level Floor and 1st Level Walls.

For2nd. Level:

Consider Roof Level Beams, 2nd to Roof Level Columns, Roof Level Floor and 2nd. Level
Walls.

lf the top has roof trusses instead of the roof slabs (no floor), calculations for roof system
need to be done.

For a 1-storey building without roof slab

ldentify beam ; say in-situ roof beam using timber formwork


ldentify column ; say in-situ column using timber formwork
ldentify floor ; no floor slab

Therefore, from Table 1, the IBS Factor is 0.

ldentify roof system ; say prefab timber

From Table 14, the IBS Factor is 1.0

Calculate the area covered by the beams/columns ; say 50m2


Calculate the area covered by the roof ; say 50m2
Totalarea = 100m2
IBS Score (columns beams) = 50 x 50/100 x 0
-0
IBS Score (roof) =50x50/100x1.0

-ZJ
Totat IBS Score for Part 1: Structural Systems =0+25
=25

ldentify wallsystem ; say common brickwall


From Table 2, the IBS Factor is 0

Calculate the length covered by the walls ; say 50m

IBS Score (walls) =20x50/50x0

6.4 How to Galculate IBS Score for Part 3: Other Simplified Construction Solutions
The approach is always to treat the components as performing in an "n-shape" structure
. Floor height is measured from finished levelto finished level

h = floor height

6.5 Standardized Components (Based on MS 1064)
Points are awarded based on the percentage of components (beams, columns, walls, slabs
doors and windows) that comply with the preferred sizes as defined in the MS 1064.

Say, a building has a total 100 columns; with the following sizes:

200mm x 200mm: 60 numbers


250mm x 250mm: 10 numbers
375mm x 375mm:30 numbers

Between these three types, the sizes that are in MS 1064: Part 10:2001 Section 3 are
200mm x 200mm and 250mm x 250mm.

Therefore, percentage of column that complies to MS is,

= (60 +10) I 1OO x 1O0o/o


= 70o/o

Based on Thble 3, the IBS Score for columns is 1.

Another example; say, a building has a total 100m run of walls; with the following sizes of
width(thickness) :

100mm:60 m run
130mm:40 m run

Between these two types, the size that is specified in MS 10M Part 10: 2001 Section 3 is
100mm.

Therefore, percentage of column that complies to MS is

= 60 /'100 x 100%
= 60%

Based on Table 3, the IBS Score for walls is 1.

6.6 How to Calculate IBS Score for Standardized Grids

6.6.1 Repetition of floorto-floor height (Typical floor height)


Say, the building has 6 levels including basement.

Basement to Ground Floor = 29M = 2900mm


Ground Floor to 1st floor = 29M = 2900mm
1st Floor to 2nd Floor = 30.5M = 3050mm
2nd floor to 3rd Floor = 30.5M = 3050mm
3rd floor to 4th Floor = 30M = 3000mm
4th Floor to Roof = 30M = 3000mm

Therefore, take the height with the most repetition:


29M, 30M and 30.5M: Repeated two times each.
As we have three sets of typical layouts, consider a set only.

Therefore, percentage of coverage = 216 x 100o/o


= 33o/o
Based on Table 3, the IBS Score for repetition of floor-to-floor height is 0.

6.6.2. Vertical repetition of structural floor layout (Typical floor plan)
Structural (load-bearing) layout of the unit below must be identical to the unit above,
Consider basement layout but ignore roof level.

Say, the building has 6 levels including basement; plus one flat concrete roof, The
building has four different structural floor plans,
a. Basement
b. Ground and First: Same layout
c. Second
d. Third and Fourth: Same layout
Therefore, the building has two repetitions of structural floor plan:
The Ground and First, as well as Third and Fourth.

Therefore, percentage of coverage = 216 x 100%


= 33.3%
Based on Table 3, the IBS Score for repetitions of floor-to-floor height is 0.
6.6.3. Horizontal repetition of structural floor layout
Mirror image of the structural layout is also considered as being repetitive.
Say, the building comprises of 6 units of one-storey dwellings with four different
structural floor layout:
Unit 1

Unit 2 and 3: Mirror of each other


Unit 4
Unit 5 and 6: ldentical

Therefore, the structural plan layout of 2 units is repeated,

Therefore, percentage of coverage =216x 100%

Based on Table 3, the IBS Score for horizontal repetitron cf s:.-:.--=
