“…OSC comes along with a unique composition of stakeholders and actors. Luo et al [45] noted that OSC is associated with a complex web of stakeholders with unique goals and value systems within the OSC supply chain. Thus, it is useful to highlight the primary actors and stakeholders engaged in previous studies.…”

The significant ill-performances, challenges, and increasing competition within the construction sector are generating tremendous changes. One such revolution is the transition towards offsite construction (OSC). Although a plethora of studies has expounded the virtues and benefits of the approach, a holistic review and conceptual framework of the drivers of OSC is not well-established. This research draws on a multistage methodological framework of a systematic literature review, plenary discussions, and the total interpretive structural modelling (TISM) approach to build a holistic conceptual framework for the drivers of OSC. A review of 32 empirical studies distributed across four continents resulted in the extraction of 86 drivers. The 86 drivers were grouped into time, cost, quality, productivity, innovative competitiveness, market, sustainability, and policy clusters of drivers drawing on previous classifications in empirical studies. The TISM modeling revealed three hierarchical levels of the drivers, comprising dependent, linkage, and independent drivers. Based on an MICMAC analysis, “innovative competitiveness” and “sustainability” have the highest driving powers and lowest dependences, suggesting their prime significance in the adoption of OSC. Thus, this research provides a broader perspective of the drivers and may help OSC practitioners and policymakers to gain a better understanding of the ecosystem of the drivers.

“…Comparing with traditional construction, modular construction highly depends on the reliability and sustainability of supply chain comprising procurement, design, manufacture, transportation, and assembly. However, the integration of the supply chain is limited by existing economic scale and market size of modular buildings, which leads to an array of issues, such as delivery delay of prefabricated modules, and reworking of manufactured components [72]. Additionally, interviewees achieved consensus that the development of modular buildings is subject to the relevant application and technical support.…”

“…Compared to conventional construction, modular construction is a closely collaborative process, which is relatively dependent on sufficient coordination and communication throughout the entire life cycle including planning, design, manufacture, transportation and assembly, aiming at reducing the construction period while improving the performance of building. However, considering the fragmented stakeholders, modular construction confronts various challenges due to a lack of information sharing [72]. For instance, due to the lack of communication between the transportation team and assembly contractor, excess modules are delivered to construction sites resulting in spatial shortage and traffic jam.…”

Off-site construction has been increasingly employed due to its advantages, for instance, improved quality control, reduced skills labour, faster construction time, decreased material wastage and safe working environment. As the most cutting-edge off-site construction, modular buildings have been utilised for residential building, student accommodation, and hotel projects. However, because of existing and underlying constraints, the adoption of modular buildings is still relatively low. To reveal factors hindering the development of high-rise modular buildings, a comprehensive literature review, coupled with a focus group study, were conducted. A questionnaire survey inquiring about all stakeholders was implemented to quantify constraints. The results were further examined according to a real-life case study. This paper manifested that “Lack of coordination and communication among stakeholders”, “Higher cost”, “Lack of government support”, “Lack of experience and expertise”, “Lack of building codes and standards”, “Poor supply chain integration”, and “Complexity of connection” are the top barriers curbing the uptake of modular buildings. The findings should provide a valuable reference for stakeholders adopting modular buildings, whilst mitigating risks amid modular construction. Future research is expected to exploit building information modelling and design for manufacture and assembly to alleviate these existing constraints and promote the performance of modular construction as well.

“…It is important for stakeholders to make effective measures to improve their performance of PC projects. PC stakeholders mainly include the client, project sponsor, project manager, members of the project team, technical and financial services providers, internal or external material suppliers, site personnel, general contractors and subcontractors, as well as end-users [11,12].…”

“…In fact, previous research works that targeted on PC performance improvement from the perspective of construction firms are ample. These works mainly paid more attention to identifying drivers and barriers of PC development [7,20], and exploring collaborative relationships among stakeholders [11,21]. However, the evaluation of PC development maturity for construction firms has been overlooked.…”
