Abstract
IBS application had claimed to offer a faster construction, high quality, cost saving, cleaner and safer
construction site. However, several challenges in management during the construction phase had been
identified by researchers. This paper aims to analyze the challenges and issues arise in managing IBS
construction projects. The challenges and issues identified can be categorized into pre-construction,
construction and post-construction phases. Categorizing the challenges and issues will help to increase
the contractor's understanding and help them to be prepared in handling the situation that they may
encounter during the project phases.
Keywords: Issues, construction phases, construction process, project management.
