1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 The following two ( 2 ) modes of procurement for IBS works are considered – ( a ) The Catalogue System Where the Consulting Engineer ( CE ) designs around a set of preferred standard sizes that IBS providers have in common . The CE ’ s scope of work will remain the same as described in the Scale of Fees ( Revised 1998 ) on Stages of Payment of Fees ( Stage 1 to 5 ).
( b ) Registered IBS System Provider ( RISP ) Where it is envisaged that the RISP provides part or full services related to detail design and calculation of the IBS components as described under Stage 3 – Design Stage ( ii ) of the Stages of Payment of Fees .

INDUSTRIALISED BUILDING SYSTEM ( IBS ) WORKS AND IMPACT ON SCALE OF FEES
criteria , irrespective of the type of IBS listed by CIDB .
2.3 The construction industry has been encouraged to use IBS as a means of reducing labour content and dependence on foreign labour . IBS may be able to deliver projects at an earlier completion period . However , IBS may not necessarily deliver projects below the cost of conventional construction methods . Generally it may cost more but is delivered with improved quality .
2.4 When a CE is engaged for a building project , he is mandated , by virtue of his appointment , to be the Submitting Person ( to the Local Authority ) for civil and structural works for the project , unless it has been specifically stated otherwise by the client at the time of appointment .
2.0 RATIONALE ON IMPACT TO THE SCALE OF FEES
2.1 The key basis to be considered for fee computation involving IBS are – ( a ) the amount of input ( in terms of knowledge , experience and time ) the CE has put into the design ; and ( b ) the responsibilities the CE carries for the design .
2.2 Any adjustment of fee for IBS content in design shall be analysed using these two
2.5 A building system , or a building sub system , is a system consisting of components which , when assembled , will function on its own as designed . A building system using IBS is one in which almost all the building components are prefabricated ( e . g . precast concrete column , walls , floor , beam . etc .) and altogether the components work as a system e . g . load bearing wall system for an apartment . A building sub system using IBS is one which can be designed and prefabricated independently and assembled on site in conjunction
