總結:IBS is a system and technique that require as little additional site work as possible. Their components can be manufactured on-site or off-site before being transported, positioned, and assembled into a structure. Many incentives have been given to encourage the adoption of IBS in Malaysian construction projects, primarily through government schemes. However, the problems may exist within the construction team itself, especially for the designer team on their readiness to shift from designing and managing conventional projects to IBS projects. To construct an IBS project, it is necessary to have a designer ready physically and mentally for the project. Therefore, this study aims to identify the readiness level of designers to adopt IBS in Malaysian construction projects. The objectives of this study are to identify the readiness level of designers to adopt IBS in Malaysian construction projects and to determine factors influencing the readiness of designers to adopt IBS in Malaysian construction projects. This study used a quantitative method of data collection via questionnaire distribution to the architect and engineers who registered with their umbrella organizations. The data collected from the survey were analyzed descriptively using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 28. This study found that the readiness level of the designer for implementing the IBS project was at a high level. The most significant factor influencing the readiness of the designer to implement the IBS project was the designers’ eagerness to gain knowledge and experience about IBS. Thus, it is hoped that this study will benefit, contribute to, and increase the level of readiness among designers as well as other project parties especially the contractor.
