An Analysis on Promoting Prefabrication Implementation in Construction Industry towards Sustainability

As a game-changing technology with significant environmental, economic, and social benefits, prefabricated technology has attracted attention and has been increasingly adopted in the construction industry. Although multitudinous studies have investigated various aspects of prefabrication in construc...
