PETALING JAYA: Gamuda Bhd, which now has two industrialized building systems (IBS) to produce 10,000 housing units a year, is well positioned to help the government achieve its target of 200,000 affordable housing units by 2020, as reported in the 11th Map of Malaysia.
Gamuda Digital's first IBS plant in Sepang is currently operating at full capacity and produces 3,000 homes per year.
Tan Ek Khai, General Manager of Gamuda Industrial Building System Sdn Bhd, said that to meet growing demand from the housing sector, Gamuda IBS will soon open its second IBS digital plant on a 27-hectare site in Banting.
"With our Banting plant, we will be able to produce 10,000 housing units a year. It also produces a wider variety of products, including double walls, the first of its kind in Malaysia and bathroom pods. Double walls, which are stronger and stronger than single walls, allow us to build taller buildings of up to 50 floors, which can solve problems such as limited space on the ground, "said Tan Sunbiz.
Developers are able to design and build various types of buildings, including high-rise buildings, land buildings, schools, hospitals, commercial premises and factories. They can also go from luxury homes to quality affordable housing. The possibilities are endless with Gamuda IBS, "Tan said.
A closed environment in a factory benefits the developer and the customer on many levels. There is no compromise in terms of quality and productivity and, at the same time, development projects are completed on time or even sooner. In addition to excellent quality assurance, after successfully passing the Sirim tests and the fire behavior, the products are also built with high precision, eliminating the risk of material wastage.
"Our two plants are optimized by Building Information Modeling (BIM), an online design tool that enables the sharing and transfer of relevant information related to plans, material supply, inventory and logistics. , among others.
"This effectively reduces waste to less than 1% and at the same time optimizes efficiency and productivity," said Tan, adding that this environmentally friendly method also preserves safety, cleanliness and efficiency. Organization of construction sites.
The Gamuda IBS automated system promotes a safe and secure building environment. Panels and slabs are produced in a controlled environment and then delivered to the job site to be lifted and assembled in the Lego way.
"This makes it possible to finish one floor a week, reducing construction time by almost 12 months. For height development, conventional construction methods typically take 36 months, while Gamuda IBS can do it in 24 months. "
The experience of Gamuda Land is proof of this: the completion of its Jade Hills Rumah Selangorku (RSKU) project in Kajang in two years. The project's structural works, which included 714 dwellings in three blocks, were completed in 12 months, while the RSKU Kundang estates, consisting of 280 single-block dwellings, lasted only six months.
He is currently building 664 RSKU units in Gamuda Gardens at Sg Buloh, as well as other affordable housing projects for Selangor State Development Corp. (PKNS) in Cyber Valley and through Holdings Group in Bhd, Puncak Alam.
Gamuda Land also uses IBS for its own housing projects, building a range of adjoining houses ranging from terraces to bungalows, as part of their existing projects such as Twenty-Five, 7, Gamuda Gardens and Gamuda Cove.
In addition to design flexibility and robust, robust buildings, IBS-optimized homes feature high ceilings, spacious layouts and softer finishes. Buyers also do not have to worry about leaks that commonly occur in bathrooms.
Fully equipped bathroom pods
The Banting plant has a section dedicated to the manufacture of bathroom furniture and for this purpose, it has purchased what is probably the largest concrete casting mold in Southeast Asia. The factory has the capacity to produce 16,000 bathroom caps, of all types and sizes, every year.
The bathroom modules are fully equipped with washbasins, washbasins and glass finishes, giving them a contemporary look. They are manufactured in a single, seamless unit, as each unit is already equipped with all necessary electrical, plumbing, and ventilation connections, in addition to waterproof walls, floors, and fittings.
"For a prefabricated bathroom, the entire unit will be hoisted by an overhead crane up to the required floor and the workers will only lock the entire unit to the building, without applying cement on the unit. If the tiles are specified, the tiles would already be installed in the factory, not on site, thus contributing to a radically cleaner and neater construction site. "
Clogged ground traps in new homes are a plague for homeowners. With Gamuda IBS, the assembly is already completed in the factory, eliminating wet work on the site – a common cause of blockage when poorly trained workers push cement or other waste such as tile fragments into the floor. siphon to prevent proper cleaning. .
"The use of factory-made bathrooms will put an end to bad habits such as the improper disposal of construction waste in the floor trap. It is designed as plug-and-play units that speed up the entire housing construction process, "Tan said.
The tiles can always be changed by the owner, while the position of fittings such as mirrors can always be adjusted.
The advantage Gamuda IBS – Faster construction, safer, cleaner and less foreign workmanship
IMAGINE get your keys at least a year earlier and move into a well-built home that only asks you to move your furniture and decorate everything you want without worrying about spending that extra money on renovating or removing delicate corners .
This is the complete picture that buyers get when they buy a home built with Gamuda's digital IBS technology. Gamuda IBS has changed the way IBS homes are built, changing the perceptions of what was once considered a boring and substandard construction method.
Today, Gamuda's digital technology allows it not only to build homes – of any type or size – at a much faster pace, but also to customize homes to market preferences. As a result, you get homes of superior quality, fashionable and refined finishes.
Tan Ek Khai, General Manager of Gamuda Industrial Building System Sdn Bhd, said that Gamuda IBS was able to significantly reduce construction time because its plant is powered by a robotic production system capable of producing a large number of homes in order to to meet the growing demand for housing.
"A fully automated system that concretes, hardens concrete, flexible foam molding, cutting and lattice work helps to produce one housing unit per hour with consistently high quality, allowing us to compensate for volume in a short time, "Tan said.
High quality and insurance
In addition to a variety of products, including solid walls, prestressed half-slabs and special façade walls, all building materials are produced to specification in a controlled environment, without compromising on product quality.
For example, its reinforced prefabricated concrete is ISO certified by Sirim and QAS International. The first Gamuda IBS project at Jade Hills also has a Qassic Quality Assessment System that is over 70% higher than the industry standard of 60% for affordable homes.
Cleaner, greener and safer construction
Gamuda IBS puts into practice sustainable construction solutions. Advanced robotic functions in factories increase productivity and reduce waste, as all materials are produced as needed, which also helps maximize resources.
On site, the Lego-style modular construction method produces little waste unlike conventional sites, loaded with piles of waste, wasted concrete and steel frames. There is also less noise and dust because of the reduction in the number of heavy vehicles and machines on the site.
Reduces foreign and manual work dependency by 65%
Automation usually reduces the number of workers in general, but increases the skilled workforce, which also contributes to the highly innovative and skilled labor pool.
Over-dependence on foreign labor is a problem that has been rife for decades in the local construction industry.
"With Gamuda's digital IBS, we are not just training local youth to become more technologically savvy, we are also changing the landscape of construction by changing the way we build," said Tan.
What is a digital industrialized building system?
The INDUSTRIALIZED (IBS) construction system is a term used in Malaysia to designate a construction technique in which components are manufactured off site and then installed on the construction site. This is also known as prefabrication.
In 2003, the government approved the IBS Strategic Plan established by the Construction Industry Development Council (CIDB) and the IBS Roadmap (2003-2010) in order to increase the efficiency and productivity of the local construction industry.
Next are the IBS Roadmap (2011-2015) and the Construction Sector Transformation Agenda (2016-2020), which advocate widespread use of IBS for cleaner, greener and more efficient construction. from the existential 3D image.
This led Gamuda to invest in the country's first digital IBS plant, which would leverage digital technology to build properties. The technology, optimized by BIM, has enabled the group to design, customize and produce a wide range of prefabricated products to customer specifications, within half the time and with superior quality.
This is a significant advance over the conventional IBS as a home built with a digital IBS on software and robotics automation.
Its efficiency, high productivity and quality are confirmed by the fact that all landed properties of Gamuda Land will be built with Gamuda IBS.
"Digital IBS is widely used in the Scandinavian countries, Germany, Singapore and Thailand. This is new to Malaysia. Previously, conventional prefabricated elements were always associated with boring designs and were limited to tall buildings, which gave the impression that IBS could only build standard boxy units and was easily subject to cracks and bumps. leaks.
This perception is no longer a concern because IBS Digital has the capacity and flexibility to produce attractive models based on customer needs and specifications, "Tan said.
