What is PIBS™? (Precision Integrated Building Systems)

🏗️ What is PIBS™?

PIBS™ (Precision Integrated Building Systems) is Island Building Solutions’ end-to-end, ready-to-build housing platform engineered for the Bahamas & Caribbean.

Every component—structural frames, patented Kratos™ wall panels, insulation, roofing, windows, doors, plumbing, electrical, finishes, and fixtures—is pre-engineered, containerized, and sequenced so projects start faster, run predictably, and finish stronger.

⚙️ PIBS™ Package Options

1. Dry-In Shell Package

Get your project fully enclosed and weather-tight.

The Dry-In Shell Package delivers a complete exterior system ready for interior build-out — ideal for developers or general contractors who want control over interior finishing while ensuring quality and speed in the structural phase.

Includes:

  • Light Gauge Steel (LGS) structural framing

  • Exterior wall and roof systems

  • Insulation and weather-resistant barrier

  • Impact-rated windows and exterior doors

✅ Result: A fully sealed, hurricane-resilient shell that’s ready for interior construction.

2. Turnkey Package

Your complete ready-to-occupy solution.

The Turnkey Package includes everything from the Dry-In Shell plus all interior finishes, systems, and fixtures — providing a complete, ready-to-live-in home on delivery.

Includes:

  • Kitchen cabinetry, countertops & appliances

  • Bathroom fixtures & fittings

  • Interior walls, flooring, ceilings & paint

  • Electrical, plumbing & HVAC systems

  • Lighting, trim, and final finishes

✅ Result: A finished, move-in-ready home — designed, engineered, and shipped in sequenced containers for local GC installation.

The Problem PIBS™ Solves

  • High costs & fragmented supply chains: Multi-vendor importing adds 20–40% to costs and erodes schedules.

  • Delays & shortages: Customs bottlenecks and missing parts stall sites for weeks or months.

  • Inconsistent resilience: Generic plans aren’t optimized for Cat-4/5 winds or local codes.

  • Skilled-labor gaps: Complex, conventional builds strain limited regional trades.

Result: Typical overruns of 20–30% and 6–12 extra months—plus unpredictable quality.

The PIBS™ Solution (How it Works)

1) Precision Digital Design

  • 3D Revit models down to nuts, bolts, outlets, and towel hooks eliminate guesswork.

  • Library spans ~1,000–6,000+ sq ft homes; expandable to multi-storey multifamily—all hurricane-optimized.

  • Local A/E stamps accelerate permitting and reduce redesign.

2) Integrated Procurement & Duty-Free Hub

  • IBS consolidates global supply (LGS frames, MgO boards, cladding, MEP, finishes).

  • Materials ship duty-free into Freeport under IBS’s license, are QA-checked, then re-packaged into model-specific kits for export across the region.

3) Containerized, Build-Ready Delivery

  • Each home arrives as complete, labeled containers, loaded in the order you build:

    • Container 1 – Structure: LGS panels, fasteners, MgO, cladding, roofing.

    • Container 2 – Interiors: windows/doors, flooring, cabinets, fixtures, electrical kits.

    • Container 3 – MEP & Finishes: plumbing kits, HVAC, paints, lighting, hardware.

  • No “missing part” delays; crews follow the sequence and keep moving.

4) Local GC Training & Certification

  • Structured training elevates local teams, builds capacity, and standardizes quality.

  • Certified GCs join the IBS Builder Network for repeatable, consistent delivery.
