Prefabrication and offsite construction promote sustainability in the construction environment and industry which is essential to protect ecosystems, improve air quality, reduce waste, conserve natural resources and improve water quality. This paper discusses a study on adopting modular construction through Industrialised Building System (IBS) approach in the Malaysian construction industry. The sustainability principles in offsite construction and IBS have always maintained a balance between environment and construction, improved human self-respect and encourage economic development.
