Abstract:
The aim of this research is to identify the challenges that faced
implementation of Industrialized Building System in Sudan, knowing the
extent of using this system in Sudan, as well as to determine the acceptance
of this system in the construction industry in Sudan.
To implement the objectives of this research, five sector questionnaire was
designed, six systems have been adopted (Precast concrete framing, panel
and box systems, Steel formwork systems, Prefabricated timber framing
systems, Steel framing systems, Block work systems). The questionnaire
was distributed to 100 respondents, Results were analyzed using statistical
analysis software (SPSS).
Several finding have been found firstly: there are many factors barrier in the
application of Industrialized Building System in Sudan, such as Shortage in
curriculum at universities about IBS, Lack of research and development to
improve using local materials, Need specific machine in factory, Secondly:
the systems that used now days in Sudan, Steel formwork systems, Steel
framing systems, Block work systems. Thirdly: the best system, Block work
systems, 3D panel construction system, precast concrete framing
