Enablers and Inhibitors of Prefabrication Construction for Housing: An Overview
Keywords:
Enablers, Inhibitors, Prefabrication, Housing Construction Industry
Abstract
Prefabrication enablers and inhibitors in the housing construction sector differ over time and vary from country to country. To adopt this technology, awareness on current trends and the latest innovations should be increased by reviewing previous studies. The objective of this study is to conduct a revision of common enablers and inhibitors of prefabrication adoption, taking into consideration the experience gained and reported by several developing countries. The study captures common enablers and inhibitors of prefabrication in Nigeria, with 4 developing countries within the research, as very little literatures exists that identifies perceived factors that encourage the adoption of prefabrication, which are unique to the Nigeria housing construction industry. The study adopts a literature survey qualitative technique, with 24 current literature researches on prefabrication and its enabling and inhibiting factors towards implementation and adoption randomly selected and reviewed in order to capture, and analyse similar trends which cut across 4 identified developing countries located in Asia and Africa. Results showed that technical factors were predominantly the highest ranking factors that influenced the adoption or deterrent of prefabrication. Though other factors are important, further investigation on the technical factors and the development of strategies for eliminating inhibiting factors and improving on the enabling factors is required. Prefabrication enablers should be improved upon by continuously meeting clients’ needs and respond to the global, social and environmental challenges, thereby preparing grounds for organizations to find out ways of reducing the inhibitors and ensuring a smooth transition to prefabrication construction based project delivery
