| Summary: | For many years, the issues of delay in Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR) projects especially those projects that involve the implementation of IBS as a method of construction have been phenomenal. Its impacts were so significant that it tends give bad impression on the JKR performance and reputation as government technical agency. Construction delays due to the implementation of IBS can be minimized once their challenges or constraints are identified. The methodologies used in this study were by using literature review and distribution of questionnaires survey. Data have been collected from the relevant parties which directly involved in those projects under JKR Negeri Perak that are using IBS as a method of construction. The results that being obtained from this study was the generation of the list for the most important challenges or constraints in the implementation of IBS that being faced by the relevant parties such as the need of skilled craftsmen in a factory, non existance of special managers to manage IBS projects, shortages of storage space at site, high cost to employ skilled workers, weak communication between projects' operator and others. The study also has identified the list of suggested method in order to overcome those challenges or constraints through various scope of management. It is hope that the findings from this study will be able to provide important guidelines for JKR to be well prepared at the early stage of the construction and thus will minimize the possibility of IBS construction being delayed in the future.
