Abstract

Prefabricated construction becomes an increasingly important construction mode especially for buildings that require a short construction time. The construction of Huoshenshan Hospital shows how efficient prefabricated construction could be. In order to provide a clearer blueprint for how to improve time performance in prefabricated construction, this paper identifies 13 important critical success factors associated with time performance and groups them into five categories—project planning and design, supply chain, techniques, teamwork, and external influences. The findings of this paper provide a better understanding of time management in prefabricated construction, which can help to develop appropriate strategies to improve productivity.

Highlights

Unlike conventional construction which is entirely built upon construction site, prefabricated construction is a new type of construction in which factory-made components are transported to construction site and assembled together [1]
One research question is asked— What are the factors that influence time performance in prefabricated construction? In order to answer this question, this paper aims to identify the critical success factors associated with time performance in prefabricated construction project
This paper is dedicated to identify and categorize the critical success factors associated with time performance in prefabricated construction

Summary

Introduction

Unlike conventional construction which is entirely built upon construction site, prefabricated construction is a new type of construction in which factory-made components are transported to construction site and assembled together [1]. Prefabricated construction provides us with a cleaner and more organized construction site [5] and the amount of construction waste is reduced as well under the implementation of prefabrication [6] Among all these advantages, reduction in time is one of the most important ones since it implies better productivity and greater efficiency. In order to answer this question, this paper aims to identify the critical success factors associated with time performance in prefabricated construction project. Critical success factors are defined as the key areas of a project that can contribute to its success and help to reach even exceed project manager’s expectation [9] Since they are influential players in a project, it becomes important for researchers to identify, understand, and analyze those factors. Five categories as well as prefabricated construction. the factors under each one of them are discussed and
