Prefabrication of building components could be leveraged to improve
reported low productivity trend in construction industry. Despite
numerous known benefits of prefabrication, uptake of this
technology has been discouragingly low. A nation-wide survey of
consultants, contractors, employers and manufacturers was carried
out in New Zealand and the received feedback was analysed. The
subcomponents of the broad constraint categories and their relative
levels of impact on the uptake of the technology were reported.
Additionally measures for improving the uptake of the technology in
construction industry were suggested. For a methodical evaluation
of the marginal value achievable by the use of prefabrication
variant over and above that of the traditional stick-built system
at the design and life-cycle phases of the procurement process, a
decision support model was developed and tested using the modular
variant of the prefabrication compared to the traditional
stick-built system. Results shows that use of modular variant of
the prefabrication delivers superior value to clients compared to
the traditional system at the development, operational and
life-cycle phases of procurement process.
