As an inevitable choice for sustainable urban development, industrialized residential buildings are being paid attention to and adopted by more and more countries and regions in the world. Compared with traditional construction methods, IRB has the advantages of reducing environmental pollution, improving production efficiency and ensuring construction quality. Over the past 15 years, leading international architectural journals have published a number of articles on prefabricated construction management, off-site construction management, and industrial construction. This paper studies the latest research trends in this field, and qualitatively analyzes 80 research papers published in 10 major journals from 2005 to 2020 from the aspects of research content, research methods, and core research fields (now available online). This paper USES computer big data to analyze the literature. Analysis shows that the impact of the IRB on the construction industry as a whole is increasing.
