Description

The construction industry is shifting towards prefabrication and modular techniques to meet the demands of increasing speed, sustainability, and cost efficiency. This paper explores three primary methods: (1) Steel-Frame Modular Units, commonly used in high-rise buildings due to their structural integrity; (2) Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT), which is gaining popularity for its eco-friendliness and carbon sequestration properties; and (3) 3D-Printed PrefPrefabricationducing labor dependency and waste while enabling complex architectural designs. The discussion includes case studies of modular skyscrapers, such as those in Singapore and the UK, highlighting time savings, reduced material waste, and streamlined logistics. However, challenges such as transportation costs, customization limitations, and regulatory barriers are also examined. The conclusion outlines the future of prefabPrefabricationnstruction, emphasizing automation, robotics, and AI-driven customization.
