“…Although the adoption of the prefabrication still not strongly encouraged by the construction industry from the structured survey, there is a tendency for adopting modular prefabrication for the washroom in public housing and private residential building since it fulfill the key characteristics of prefabrication as discussed by Warszawski [20] like standardization, repetition, adopted in the design stage, mass production and client's requirement. The applications of the above suggested effective prefabrication model for the general projects, public housing, private residential and commercial projects in the construction, will also depend on the education and training for the frontline employees by enhancing their environmental awareness.…”

There is an urgent issue on huge quantities of construction wastage generation in construction.Lack of the environmental supports from construction stakeholders should not be provided.The current implementation of prefabrication seems cannot provide satisfactory results to the construction industry. This paper provides a feasibility analysis in adopting prefabrication in construction activities. Advantages, hindrances and future development on prefabrication's applications are provided based on a questionnaire survey. The suitability in adopting prefabrication of various project types is also examined. Furthermore, a financial analysis is also investigated by a local case study. It found that wastage generation can reduce up to 100% after adopting prefabrication, in which up to 84.7 per cent can be saved on wastage reduction.

“…Tanto es así que algunos autores consideran la construcción como un proceso de ensamblaje de materiales y componentes (Gann, 1996;Gibb, 2001;Winch, 2003). La prefabricación en la edificación se ha multiplicado en las últimas décadas, sobre todo en los países más avanzados (Koskela, 1992;Gann, 1996;Warzawski, 1999;Gann, 2000;Monjó Carrió, 2005). Su mayor coste unitario inicial ha disminuido debido a la producción industrial en serie.…”

“…Su mayor coste unitario inicial ha disminuido debido a la producción industrial en serie. El diseño de las piezas lo controlan los proveedores de productos, que han buscado cierta normalización para incrementar la compatibilidad entre las piezas, siguiendo tendencias similares a las adoptadas previamente por otras industrias (Gann, 1996;Warzawski, 1999;Winch, 2003).…”

“…Transportation consideration will influence the design of precast components such as size and weight. Based on the study made by Warszawski [28], the length of a volumetric unit should not exceed 12 meter which is the normal vehicle length. The precast components' height, when loaded on the trailer, should not exceed a height limitation of highway ranging from 4.8 to 5.1 meter.…”

Abstract. IBS precast concrete is construction system which is meant to improve the conventional construction process. However IBS precast concrete projects are suffering from serious problems such as cost overrun, delays and less quality of the end product. The absence of coordination is perceived as the reason for this issue. The purpose of this paper is to review the significance of coordination for IBS precast concrete in the construction industry. It if found that the fragmentation which occurs in the construction industry requires continuity of coordination due to the construction activities are intertwined in nature. Coordination is designated to assist stakeholders in completing and complementing each other with the paramount focus of achieving the objective. Proper coordination is required in delivering the desired construction product at the ideal time, cost and quality. As for the findings, the significance of coordination for IBS precast concrete can be seen through the precast concrete construction phases which consist of planning; design; manufacturing; transportation and installation/construction. These phases are meant to complement construction process with the purpose to reduce issues of fragmentation and enhance IBS precast concrete project delivery.
