Abstract
Housing and building construction is an important principle in sustainable development. The industrialization of
building systems has been found to be necessary due to several factors: the fast and continuing progress of
today’s world, the industrialization of many aspects of modern living, significant population growth, and the
inadequacy and incompetence of conventional construction methods particularly in dense housing situations.
This paper investigates the relevance of these factors as the drivers for changing people’s habits and
perspectives toward building construction and to justify the introduction of industrialized construction
approaches to replace the outdated conventional methods as well as the necessity to provide training in order to
achieve product quality.
Keyword: Industrialization building system, sustainable eco town, eco-friendly housing
1.0 Introduction
In this current century, urbanization isan important concern for societies and governments. They have to design
and direct the development of cities bearing in mind the need for sustainable development and moving people
from rural to urban environments (Alusi, 2011). As mentioned by Stevenson (2007), there must be consideration
to various aspects of sustainable development such as economic security, social and economic achievements,
social coverage, as well as a conducive and healthy environment.All these are necessary for people to work and
live, along with high safety living features that come with best planning and fair opportunities and facilities for
all classes of society. Another type of sustainability is in houses that are eco-friendly, and using sustainable
energy; homes that are resistant over time and protected from noise pollution (DHSC, 2007). Also mentioned is
a community that is sustainable,able to support all social groups with different incomes and making available
affordable homes that meet the needs of all social groups (DHSC, 2007). It is stressed that housing is one of the
important fundamental and key ingredients in human needs (Dumraicher, 2008). Nowadays there is growing
awareness and better knowledge of sustainable development. In line with this, the construction industry is
already moving toward sustainability. Sustainable development has been faster through better control of
thebuildingindustry and the use of environmentally friendly materials (Riduan, 2011). Affordable housing and
industrialized building technology are two of the main criteria in the infrastructure of sustainable development
of an Eco town. Also, one of the most important components of a sustainable Eco town construction is the
appropriate material of green housing (Roshanfekr,Twil, Goh,&CheAni, 2013). Olia (1999), after World War II
discussed the need for high construction building because of rising due demand.The main reason was neither
ecomic nor timing but quality which wasimpoirtant to people at that time. (Zabihi, 2012).Richard believes
overall industrialization is activities which complete product’s quantity(Richard ,2006) .Due to the fact that
industrialized building production in industrial countries is as much as 20 to -60%, the significance of
industrialization is obvious (CIDB, 2003).
2. Industrial Building System
The industrialization of building systems has progressed around the world in the advanced industrial countries
such as Japan, Korea, UK, US, Switzerland and many others. Figure 1 is a sample of an industrial building
system for a sustainable city.

This paper discusses the industrialized building system (IBS) and lists some of its advantagesand disadvantages
and also its components. Figure 2 showsthe position of an industrialized building system (IBS) for a sustainable
Eco town.
Figure 2: sustainable eco town chart
An industrialized building system is known as a system of construction produced in a factory, then transferred to
the building site to be assembled (CIDB, 2003). Maryam Qays (2010) defines an industrialized building
constructionsystemas a development method the elements of which are usually produced at
themanufacturer’spremises or off the construction site and latertransported to and assembled directly at the
construction site minimalwork on site.
In an industrialized building system, 93% of the operation is mechanical. The industrialization method is easier
to control, because most of the work is done in a controlled environment such as the factory site/ In the
industrialized method, the proportion of building is 33 to_73% less than in the conventional method
(Warszawski, 1999). In the industrialized building system the estimated time and speed of construction is more
precise compared to the conventional system. Generally with the new technologies, the possibility of deficiency
is in the first stage of the products, because they have not passed all the quality tests(Saleh Jaffar, 2009).This is
due to the lack of adequate academic education in universities and educational canters (CIDB, 2003).
The industrialized building system has some limitations such as:the attachment of people to conventional
methods. Usually in different communities, there is opposition to modernization and change especially when
they are not fully knowledgeable about the benefits of IBS and so prefer to stick to methods they are used to
(CIDB, 2003). Another reason for continuing to use the conventional method is its simplicity which allows them
to use unskilled labor, whereas in using the IBS, a trained workforce is required (Miller, 1987). Also the IBS

incurs high initial cost primarily, because of the low demand, but over time with the IBS being more widely
accepted, costs will be significantly reduced.
3.0 Conclusion
The industrialized building system encompasses all activities related to design, technology, methods of
construction and manufacturing and production of building components which comply with the scientific and
academic standards of quantity based on a standard modular and compliant with cultural and social
requirements, leading to economically sustainable development. It can be noted that the purpose of the
industrialized building system is to speed up production and increase manufacturing output and result in:
lightweight building, retrofit, savings in materials, reduced energy consumption during construction and
operation, thus minimizing manufacturing period, cost savings, and maximizing the exploitation of modern
building technology and its application.
