RISModular Construction: Determining Decision-Making Factors and Future Research Needs
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: With a compound annual growth rate of 5.69%, the modular construction market is forecasted to increase to a market value of $154.8 million by the end of 2023. Traditional stick-built construction and modular construction ...
Understanding Disputes in Modular Construction Projects: Key Common Causes and Their Associations
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Modularization is a well-known approach that can potentially mitigate many of the current construction industry’s challenges including, for example, poor productivity, shortages in skilled labors, and poor safety performance. ...
Understanding the Key Risks Affecting Cost and Schedule Performance of Modular Construction Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Modular construction has been documented to be superior over traditional construction methods in terms of schedule, quality, predictability, and other project objectives. However, the lack of understanding and proper ...
Risk-Based Approach to Predict the Cost Performance of Modularization in Construction Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The lack of proper management of the unique modular risks hinders the construction industry from maximizing the potential benefits associated with the use of modularization. Capturing the full cost benefits of modularized ...
A Proactive Risk Assessment Framework to Maximize Schedule Benefits of Modularization in Construction Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Various studies developed models and decision support tools to assess the feasibility and optimize the use of modularization. However, none has explored the schedule benefits of modular construction. This paper fills this ...
Using the Simplified Acquisition of Base Engineer Requirements in Construction Projects: Contract Administration Guidelines
