This research focused on downstream IBS implementation challenges during design, adopting&nbsp; prefabrication systems and comparative analysis of 10 case design studies&nbsp; and along with extensive literature reviews. I have developed framework based on the literature findings and ethnographic data studie&nbsp; on&nbsp; design process, modularization, integrated manufacturability constraints, assembly sequence optimization, and stakeholder knowledge incorporation, demonstrating measurable improvements in construction efficiency (23% reduced assembly time) and design flexibility (41% increased configurability).&nbsp; The findings of this research published in Frontiers Of Architectural research ( IF:3.17], these findings established novel protocols for design-process integration in modular Design in construction. Concurrently, I translated research insights into pedagogical practice by developing 12 design-for-manufacturing modules and conducting 8 industry-academic workshops, bridging theoretical and applied knowledge in the Malaysian construction context. This dual research-teaching approach advanced both scholarly understanding and practical implementation of IBS, particularly addressing affordable housing challenges through evidence-based, culturally-grounded solutions. Further modular co-ordination and assembly-able techniques for timber structure, granted patent by USA and MYPO. As part of Graduate research assistant, I have been teaching computer aided design and drafting for third semester students and continuously did&nbsp; teaching assistants to my supervisor&nbsp; for&nbsp; research methodology in design. &nbsp;</p>
