Abstract: The Industrialised Building System (IBS) has been implemented by the government as an alternative effort in reducing foreign workers in Malaysia. IBS advantages can be seen in its higher product quality, reduced waste of building materials, cost-effective, and faster construction times than conventional construction methods. The Construction Industry Standard (CIS 18: 2010) has been introduced as a guideline manual to assist the industry on calculating the IBS score. The aims of this study is to identify the relevancy of the content used in the manual computation of existing IBS system in CIS 18:2010. Focus groups and interview sessions has been carried out for data collection. As a result from the industry feedback, there are several weightage changes in the usage of IBS components and the improvement of utilisation of standardized components based on MS 1064 for the IBS systems and also it has been suggested that these manuals need to be reviewed since it has been last updated in 2013. Overall, the finding from this study suggest that further improvement of the manual calculation in the existing IBS system content need to carry out to meet the needs of the construction industry in this country.
