A review on prefab industrialised building system modular construction in Malaysia: the perspective of non-structural studies

Prefab modular construction approach is a well-established volumetric structural product through off-site prefabrication at factory. Modular construction approach builds confidents to promote sustainability in construction industry development and is beneficial to the environment ecosystem. The stud...
