Problems associated with fragmentation in the traditional construction process, such as isolation of professionals, lack of co-ordination between design and construction, and the sequential manner of its processes, has impacted on construction performance leading to a lack of integration, wastage, low productivity and inefficiency. Team integration is perceived as paramount. Unfortunately,there are limited numbers of studies that focus on the dimension of full IBS projects.Accordingly, this paper explores and identifies the dimension of fully integrated team from the traditional approach and conducts a validation process for implementing it in Malaysian IBS projects.The research presented uses interviews case study to obtain qualitative data.It was found that the dimension of fully integrated team from the traditional construction process could apply to the Malaysian IBS projects.
