In the last two articles, we discussed that speed and a lower cost was included in the benefits of using IBS (industrialised building system) construction as opposed to the traditional methods. While these two are related to the process of building using IBS solutions, today we are going to look at a benefit of IBS construction that is related to the finished product and that is – reliability.

Better planning = better structure

IBS construction is a system that requires a lot of planning and optimisation to ensure that it is more efficient than then traditional construction methods. And during the development stages of this system, the reliability of the end product is also something that is given immense importance. Once an IBS solution has been developed, tried, and tested to be viable, this process is then replicated in each project. Thus, once proper planning is done, each structure built with IBS solutions would consistently have the same quality level.

Advanced technology

Throughout history, the act of industrialising a process depends heavily on the advancement of technology. And with IBS construction it is no different. Most IBS solutions these days utilise Computer Assisted Design or CAD in the designing of the structure. And with this software, the necessary calculations are always more precise, and also, more testing can be done in a virtual environment. This will help to reduce human error in the designing process.

Better Quality

With IBS construction more thought is given to the building materials. Oftentimes, these materials will be made with better technology and as such will be more reliable within a structure. Also, most of the components for IBS solutions are built in controlled environments which also allows for consistency in its quality.

Less dependent on labour

Finally, because IBS construction typically requires less labour but with a higher skill level, there is also a lower chance that mistakes will be made by low-skill workers.
