The construction industry has long been criticized for low productivity problems. Using off-site construction (OSC) provides an opportunity to improve construction productivity. In terms of OSC adoption, various studies represent the construction projects ranging from entire on-site to complete OSC. Applying design for manufacturing and assembly (DfMA) principles in the building has recently gained industry attention. DfMA as a systematic procedure is expected to be widely adopted in OSC. According to the literature, it can, however, benefit both on-site and OSC activities. This study is based on mixed-method review of 40 selected articles by keywords search of DfMA in OSC and on-site construction. There has been insufficient research comparing these practices more specifically in DfMA in on-site construction. This literature review aims to assess the current state of the DfMA in construction and its adoption in OSC and on-site construction. In order to study the relationship between these practices, a bibliometric analysis was conducted. The contribution to the body of knowledge will be the outcome of this literature review including an in-depth discussion on DfMA in OSC and on-site construction, research gaps, and recommendations for near-future perspectives in this field. The results of this paper can help researchers as well as professionals. It can also guide interested stakeholder groups in implementing DfMA within their projects and reduce the impression that DfMA is only applicable to OSCs.
