The
construction industry is undergoing a transitional change from an
industry employing conventional technology to a more systematic and
mechanized system. This new system is now known as the Industrialized
Building System (IBS). This new method of construction can increase
productivity and quality of work through the use of better construction
machinery, equipment, materials and extensive pre-project planning. This
study becomes very necessary since there is yet no organized body, which
can provide the necessary information on the building cost comparison
between the conventional system and industrialized building system in
the construction industry.
moladi
addresses the building cost comparison of the conventional system and
industrialized building system of formwork system. It provides the
details building cost between the conventional system and the formwork
system and indicates which of the two is cheaper. The data were
collected through questionnaire survey and case study, which consisting
of institutional buildings. Through the statistical test it is shown
that there is a significant difference in cost saving for the
conventional system as compared to the formwork system (Industrialized
Building System-IBS) or System formwork construction. |
