Integrated Off-Site Construction Design Process including DfMA Considerations

Off-site construction (OSC) offers a promising means to improve the efficiency of projects. However, lack experience and knowledge regarding its use results in errors design owing conflicts omissions considerations for OSC To mitigate these problems, manufacturing assembly (DfMA) is widely used include process. Several studies concerning DfMA application have been performed, but comprehensive process not suggested mitigating aforementioned problems. This study proposes an by integrating fragmented reported previous studies. The are identified through systematic literature review classified into structural architectural types. validate proposed process, project has undertaken as case study, wherein significant portion building structure modified comprise precast concrete (PC), instead reinforced counterpart, with demonstrated reduction PC element duration. would guide support duration incurred Moreover, can be considered guideline execution future
