IHBS is suitable for residential housing and has potential to speed up the construction speed by 50%, lowering the construction costs by 30% to 50%, and reducing the dependence on foreign workers, all while promoting high-quality and long-lasting structure.

To boost the number of low- and middle-income households that own homes, Malaysia has implemented an affordable housing project. It is essential to research alternate construction techniques, such as the interlocking bricks system, in order to accomplish the aim without endangering the environment, along with the growing need for green technology and a sustainable construction system.

To address the need for affordable housing in Malaysia, the Interlocking Bricks System (IHBS) offers a sustainable construction solution. IHBS utilizes abundant materials and simple construction techniques, eliminating the need for traditional beams and columns. This approach accelerates construction speed by 50%, cuts costs by 30% to 50%, and reduces reliance on foreign workers, all while ensuring high-quality, durable structures. Competitors include traditional reinforced concrete, precast concrete, and steel structures.

The IHBS uses abundant materials such as laterite clay soil, sand, cement and water then produced using the pressed method with a compression machine. The IHBS is a load-bearing blockwork system that uses simple construction techniques and eliminates the need for traditional beams and columns.
