Title:
Transformation from conventional to industrialized construction.
Agreement Number:
1015172
Agreement Value:
$330,000.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 27, 2024 - May 31, 2026
Description:
Compared with conventional construction, industrialized/off-site construction reduces material waste, cuts delivery times and improves quality and productivity. However, despite its contribution to decarbonization, several challenges have hindered its growth in the market. A 2017 study examined 5 key issues: negative stigma, lack of large-scale cases, regulatory barriers and competitive disadvantages related to financing and supply. To meet national commitments to reduce emissions, an in-depth study of industrialized/off-site construction and its stakeholders is proposed to re-examine the barriers to its adoption, including an analysis of the current state of industrialized/off-site construction including a literature review, stakeholder interviews, an industry-wide survey and a case study of a homebuilder who moved from a conventional model to an industrialized/off-site approach (panels).
