Overcoming process-related barriers in modular high-rise building projects
Modular projects can be of higher quality, a safer, faster and more predictable construction process, and less environmental nuisance compared to a traditional on-site project. High-rise projects seem to be particularly suitable for modular building methods, however there are still some process-related barriers. Research so far has not focussed on collaboration forms for modular high-rise projects. This paper examines which collaboration form fits best for a modular high-rise project by conducting an international case study research. From the case studies it is debatable whether the current PDMs meet the need for modular concepts; modular buildings will benefit more from a long-term collaboration with fixed partnerships. This requires a complete different approach to the construction industry. Until then, the best match should be sought by matching the customer profile to the PDM characteristics. The most suitable PDM is dependent on the client profile that can be determined by 17 selection criteria.
