Abstract

Prefabricated construction (PC) is a sustainable method that uses prefabrication manufactured in specialized facilities to be transported and assembled site, reducing manifold ill performance in the conventional construction. Because of its good performance, the PC method has been popularized and used in many countries such as China, United States, Singapore. Scholars over the world have begun to pay attention to prefabricated construction. Although some scholars have reviewed the PC, with the development of the economy and technology, PC is also constantly changing. Therefore, a critical review is needed to analyze PC from the perspective of performance. The performance perspective considered in this paper is discussed in terms of sustainability and performance in project, cost, quality, and schedule. This research objectives are to 1) determine the major countries and institutions in PC domain; 2) exploring the gaps in the performance of PC (PPC); and 3) summarize the previous research, examine the current research situation, and predict future research trends on PPC. Therefore, this study collected research journal papers related to PPC from 2010 to 2020 as literature samples and adopted bibliometrics analysis methods to conduct quantitative and qualitative analysis. In the process of quantitative analysis, VOSviewer is used to make and analyze the scientific map. The qualitative analysis is discussed under two topics (sustainability and quality, schedule, and cost). This study is valuable for scholars to understand of the PPC research and allows them to continue further research in this domain.
