The adoption of prefabricated building systems has grown due to the need to reduce duration and cost of construction projects, as well as to improve quality and working conditions. However, the adoption of those systems requires an intense exchange of information to integrate the production of components, logistics operations, and site assembly. This is particularly important in engineer-to-order environments, in which the level of uncertainty tends to be high. This research proposes a model for planning and controlling the delivery and assembly of ETO prefabricated building systems, emphasizing the integration between site installation and logistics operations. This model was devised in an empirical study carried out in a company that delivers and assembles prefabricated concrete structures. The main theoretical contribution is a set of approaches to implement the “pull production” and “reduce variability” principles in this particular context, exploring synergies that exist between Lean Production principles and Building Information Modeling (BIM) functionalities.

In recent years, Chinese prefabricated buildings have re-heated and showed rapid growth. This paper analyzes the performance of the existing assembled wall panels in the Chinese market by comparing the performance of different materials and optimizing the selection of the envelope structure of the assembled substation. Studies have shown that the use of prefabricated building systems can achieve the goal of shortening the construction period, reducing manual labor, no waste during construction, and no wet work on site.

This paper deals with new realisations of research, scientific development, managerial and economic optimisations – a prefabricated building systems. In the literature, all scientific fields are worked out based on efficiencies, costs, benefits, choice of execution design, technical demands, aesthetical point of view, as well as the total economics. In the present example of a school building for communities in developing countries, the following criteria have been regarded: the optimal superstructure of prefabricated concrete building systems; the particularity of developing countries (eg the climate, the political and economic conditions); the time for construction and necessary innovative developments for an economically optimised superstructure. In addition, alternative construction methods and costs for a simple but variable system which can be adapted to changing functions are suggested.
