Abstract

Prefabricated construction has been promoted worldwide due to its potential to improve construction quality, safety, productivity and waste reduction. In Australia off-site construction is relatively small, 3% out of the total of construction industry, compared to other countries. However, construction within Sydney continues to rapidly expand with future forecasts of major building works indicating a furthermore increase in construction projects. These major building works which include apartments, commercial facilities and engineering developments are set to increase over the next year. Considering the currently prefabrication market in Sydney, this paper aims to identify the barriers limiting the offsite construction grown. A questionnaire survey and an interview were administered to experienced Sydney prefabrication professionals. Case studies are provided to present a correlation between the demand and supply of prefabrication components in Sydney.
