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
