Prefabricated construction (PC) has been regarded as a sustainable method for its inherent advantages such energy savings, emissions reductions, and cleaner safer working environments. However, PC development hindered by weaknesses of fragmentation discontinuity. Effective interface management (IM) is integral to project success appropriate numerous interfaces with high complexity uncertainty a...

Prefabricated construction is one of the most intensively developing areas research in field and building technology world. The results scientometric analysis prefabricated are presents this paper. purpose was to study directions effectiveness research, determine leading countries, organizations, scientific journals, define level Republic Belarus context economically developed countries. carrie...

With the rapid development of global economy, energy resources and environmental problems continue to deteriorate. As an industry with high consumption, sustainable construction is vital. Prefabricated housing can overcome disadvantages traditional methods such as long periods, low production efficiency, engineering quality safety, achieve goals fast construction, safety durability, carbon prot...

Swedish prefabricators of domestic buildings need to become more effective and efficient; the aim of this paper is to investigate the usefulness of rule-based IT support tools for this purpose. The current sales and design process at a timber volume element prefabricator is presented and evaluated regarding information management and standardisation. It was found that information management dur...

Prefabrication could provide various benefits for housing production, including lower the cost, improve the management efficiency and quality, ensure the safety, and realize sustainability. However, to fully acquire these benefits in real world construction process, challenges still exist on real-time tracing and tracking of the prefabrication components, and getting real-time interactions amon...

Prefabricated components production line optimization is critical for improving industrialized building construction efficiency; however, few studies focus on the problem in context of construction. In order to optimize large random orders prefabricated process, this research proposes a model minimize variance capacity utilization cycle, and ant colony algorithm introduced solve mixed sequencin...
