[1][3][4][5] Traditionally, construction has made use of manual labor such as tradesmen and subcontractors for tasks such as the installation of prefabricated elements.
These systems and information technology such as the Internet of Things (IoT) create real-time feedback loops for improved decision making.
Industrialized construction offers a framework for the fundamental shifts needed across the construction industry — moving from a disconnected design process to fully digital designs based on project data and from buying one-off projects to buying sustainable, productized buildings.
[5][16] The main aim of industrialized construction is to increase productivity and reduce costs and project time through mechanization.
[1][3][5][17] Industrialization makes production processes and methods more efficient and reduces loss of working hours due to adverse weather conditions.
