TL;DR: In this article, a new approach for conducting project feasibility study by embracing the principles of sustainable development is introduced, and the importance of incorporating sustainable development principles in conducting feasibility study is not effectively understood by project stakeholders.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors established a system boundary for the measurement of GHG emissions for precast in-situ construction and compared it with conventional construction methods, and found that the conventional method produces less GHG than the precast one.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors conducted a national survey across 19 key provinces and municipalities in China to identify the construction industrialization status and progress, and analyzed from various perspectives: (1) the industrialized building floor area is profiled using maps with colours showing the different levels of construction industrialisation in China as of 2014; and (2) structural types and building types are analyzed for industrialized construction, and it is found that reinforced concrete is the predominant structure type, accounting for 77.1% of total floor area of industrialized construction in 2014.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors adopt the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) model and analytic network process (ANP) method to quantify the cause-and-effect relationships and prioritise the key delay factors in terms of their importance in the Chinese construction industry.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the economic benefits of implementing prefabricated construction techniques in order to surpass the economic barrier and promote the development of prefab-ricated buildings in China and found that the economic benefit brought by shortening the construction period can be regarded as the most significant contributor.
