Assignment 01 :
Industrialised Building System

This group project primarily addresses the issues of Industrialized Building System (IBS). We are introduced to the various IBS system kinds and calculating methods in the classroom before starting this project. First, each group must create a 3-story apartment building utilising primarily IBS components. before making an actual segment model of the structure to precisely illustrate the IBS parts.
We are required to conduct a research on a building, ideally an apartment, that was built entirely or in part using the IBS method in a group of five students. We are to identify all the IBS components employed, including the right sizes, etc. The layout of an apartment unit must include a living room, a dining space, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms. The size of an apartment unit should not exceed 100 square metres. The design should mostly use IBS structures and elements, such as precast walls, blockwork, hollow core slabs, stairs made of precast concrete, toilet pods, and prefabricated wood roof trusses, all of which should be used in the right sizes.
Thus, the concept and framework of the suggested IBS categories, pertinent drawings like plans, elevations, sections, isometric views, sectional perspectives and details, the order of construction, the schedule of modular components, and the calculation of the IBS score for the building make up the report's content. The report must also include a concept and framework that may address the suitability of the proposed system, the characteristics of the planned IBS components, the fabrication process, and the order of construction.
