CONCEPTUAL MODEL OF COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS FOR MONETARY AND NON-MONETARY ITEMS IN INDUSTRIALISED BUILDING SYSTEM (IBS) PROJECT

SITI NUR ATIKAH ABD RASHID

Abstract


Industrialised Building System (IBS) is known as a construction system that consists of combination of components manufactured either on-site or off-site then positioned and assembled into structures. Among the benefits of IBS construction includes labour cost reduction, support desirable environment; maximize efficient use of resources and waste minimisation towards sustainable construction. However, Malaysian construction industry still has a low take-up rate on IBS construction. The benefits of IBS are more reliable to be presented in tangible (monetary) value and intangible (non-monetary) basis rather than descriptive benefits. Hence, to promote the project's viability via IBS, Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) can be used in order to identify the soft issue or non-direct cost and elicits more transparency in IBS projects. This paper presents the conceptual review on the fundamental theory of CBA on the measurement of cost and benefits that can be converted as a weighing impact for an IBS project. An initial conceptual model known as CBA-IBS model is proposed as an approach that a decision maker can use to find the balance between the amount of effort invested in the initial cost of IBS construction and the realised revenues This study concluded that CBA is able to foster the viability of IBS in a more comprehensive criteria of monetary and non-monetary benefits.
