The increased numbers of the world population and carbon emission that leads to global warming must be addressed through sustainable approach and innovative techniques. A strong emphasis of sustainability needs to be demonstrated through built environment planning, design and construction economics. The choice of using the Industrialised Building System (IBS) in a sustainable commercial development is expected to enhance the quality of life and work for today and future generation. This paper reviews the linkages between the sustainable development, economics, and social perception of the IBS. Recommendations proposed to be used by players, stakeholders and researchers involved in IBS.
