Abstract

Compared with other countries such as Japan and Singapore, the implementation stage of IBS in this country is rather low which may due to Financial Barrier that limits its utility. This research is aimed to investigate the extent of Finance Barrier which cause the private sector from implementing IBS and achieving the targets set by CIDB in its Roadmap. The effectiveness of the policy, its related recommendations and strategies to ensure the ability of Roadmap to resolve the construction problems were also under studied. Data and information obtained from questionnaire distributed to 66 respondents from private sector were analyzed using Frequency Distribution Analysis Method. The findings of the research show that Financial Barrier is indeed a critical factor that limit the IBS application in achieving the targets set by IBS Roadmap, and thus, it is urgently required the respective parties, especially from CIDB to prioritize its strategies that effectively to resolve the financial problems and also further promote the potential of utilizing IBS construction method in Malaysian construction industry.
