Industrialised Building System (IBS) is the common term used to represent the prefabrication concept in Malaysia. Based on previous research being done locally and internationally, it is certain that using IBS offers huge benefits in terms of cost, time, productivity and quality. The Malaysian construction industry has been urged to use innovative construction techniques. It is being highlighted under the present Construction Industry Transformation Programme 2016 - 2020 (CITP). These initiatives illustrate the Malaysia government’s commitment in addressing the IBS agenda. Although some efforts have been taken to enhance the IBS adoption in Malaysia, various contract issues have emerged to become major concern amongst the IBS players that have led to delays, disputes, payment and cash flow issues in their projects. Formulating a dedicated standard form of contract for IBS construction approach is necessary to address the concerns. Therefore, the aim of the main research is to formulate the standard form of contract for IBS projects that will assist authorities and IBS industry players in mitigating the issues and challenges from the contractual perspectives. However, this paper will only present the literature reviews and findings from a preliminary survey conducted to establish pertinent contractual issues and challenges on the subject matter.
