In such projects, choosing the right prefabrication<br>technique under unpredictable project conditions becomes critical to producing outcomes that<br>support accomplishing green building targets, such as decreased material consumption and<br>enhanced energy efficiency. Therefore, decisions on prefabrication should be carefully coordinated<br>with several strategies throughout the project's team selection, design, procurement,<br>manufacturing, and construction phases. The most promising prefabrication options and selecting<br>the best tactics across multiple construction systems are important for better-achieving project<br>objectives for initial cost, schedule, quality, and sustainability. The limited decision-making tools<br>for prefabrication that are now available are often focused on building options. A decision-making<br>framework is suggested, building on the already-existing idea selection optimization techniques.<br>Project teams can evaluate opportunities present in the entire delivery process of a building<br>system, compare various prefabrication options, and make effective prefabrication decisions when<br>they are aware of the synergies and tensions among prefabrication strategies, building processes,<br>and building performance early in the design phase. Prefabricated structures are hardly a novel<br>idea, but they might be our greatest chance at creating truly sustainable design in the future.</p> satpal .
