2.6 The use of precast components designed by the CE , or selected by the CE from commercial catalogues , or the use of reusable formwork , though considered as IBS by CIDB , does not warrant adjustment to the CE ’ s fee because it is merely a different method of fabrication .

2.9 Where the CE has been instructed to prepare , and has prepared , preliminary drawings which include structural layout comprising beams , columns , slabs , etc . for tendering which allows the tenderers to offer their own IBS systems , the CE shall be paid the design fees of Preliminary Stage and Design Stage ( i ), as stipulated in Clause 1 .( 2 )( a ) and ( b )( i ) of the Scale of Fees .

2.11 As the Submitting Person , the CE is required to check the design undertaken by IBS Designer as stipulated in Clause 1 .( 2 ) ( b )( ii ) which includes preparing all other drawings in sufficient details to enable construction to be carried out that would have been otherwise carried out by the CE . For this checking work , the CE becomes a design checker .
