The Malaysian construction sector is underway a shift from an industry using conventional methods to a more standardized and mechanized system utilizing the latest modern technology, the Industrialized Building System (IBS). Plus, with the aid of a Modular Building System (MBS) under the classification of IBS, the urbanization process of Malaysia could be boosted by a fair amount. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to suggest knowledge strategies for the implementation of MBS for construction players. For this study, the quantitative approach was employed to collect data from respondents who were construction industry professionals with experience working on industrialised or modular building system projects. The questionnaire survey was used to gather feedback on respondents' perceptions of the effects of the industrialised and modular building system projects.The data gathered from the questionnaire will be analysed statistically using the average index and methods. The study's findings indicate that the respondents concur that there are some major obstacles, such as a shortage of experienced labourers and a high initial capital cost, that are preventing them from establishing this new, innovative way as the standard. To normalise this new type of MBS, knowledge techniques for its application for construction players are essential. The study's importance lies in its ability to assist construction industry participants in honing their MBS abilities.
