With the development of China’s construction industry, the development of prefabricated buildings has become a national strategy to promote the transformation and upgrading of the construction industry. However, the promotion of prefabricated buildings still faces many obstacles. One of the reasons is the uncertainty of cost. Although existing research has some quantitative research on its economics, few scholars have conducted systematic research. This paper discusses this issue from the perspective of the whole life of the building. Through the literature review method, the whole life cycle of the prefabricated building is divided into seven stages, which lays a foundation for studying the variation factors of the prefabricated building cost.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
