Hi everyone,

I recently come across a development in which the terraced houses will be built completed using the IBS system in contrast to other developments in the vicinity that are still using bricks.

I was made to understand that it will very similar to condos. Hacking is not allowed, but "limited hacking" near the switches and "certain locations" might b possible.

1. Are all (or most) condos built via the IBS system? Sorry not from engineering/construction background, hence, not too familiar with the terminologies.

2. Is IBS better or inferior to bricks in terms of heat and noise insulation?

3. What are the other factors that need to be considered for choosing terrace house built via the IBS system completely?

Thank you.

The project is nearby Rawang.

But this is totally out of the buyers' control. Would the risks associated with houses built using bricks lower than those by IBS?

Thank you for the very clear explanation.
I suppose the IBS is very similar to RC used in a lot of newer condos.
Is IBS being lightweight the culprit for the stomping noise we often hear from upstairs unit as in the case for condos?
