Hi, industrialized building systems (IBSs) is a construction technique in which components are manufactured, transported, positioned and assembled into an organized structure. Though previously, the researches focused on the concept of pre-fabrication, off-site production and mass production of building components, the recent concept focuses on the efforts to promote the usage of IBS as an alternative to conventional and labor intensive construction method. According to the IBS Roadmap 2011-15 (CIDB, 2011), a strategic plan needs to be formulated as a solution to the housing shortage problem from the developing countries' context.

Happy to hear and would be keen to collaborate in some form. Denamo Addissie Nuramo

Great! I will keep you posted Firehiwot Kedir .

You have raised an interesting question. I know one seminal work (although slightly old) that could offer the most fundamental answer to the question. It was a document prepared by the US Dept. of Housing and Urban Affairs, Office of International Affairs in 1972.

Title: Industrialized Housing: the Opportunity and the Problem in Developing Areas

Authors: Terner, Ian Donald and Turner, John F.C.

It is an excellent work with a focus on developing countries, from Pakistan to Kenya.

I also wrote a conference paper relevant to the question. The paper is entitled "Making a case for modular integrated construction in West Africa: Rethinking of housing supply in Ghana"

I hope these help. Feel free to link up if you need to collaborate.

Thank you so much Ibrahim Yahaya Wuni . Both literature seem very helpful for our project. I will definitely link with you for this and future collaborations. BTW I was part of WABER 2017 in Accra.
