Abstract
The acceleration of construction of cities and towns motivates the development of the construction industry. Prefabricated residential building is extensively concerned by the public for its small damages to the surrounding environment and high quality. In this study, different construction stages of the prefabricated residential building were analyzed, and factors influencing the construction cost in different stages were discussed. The construction technique, speed, civil work cost and environmental benefits were compared between the traditional concrete building and the prefabricated residential building. Moreover the differences of costs in different stages were compared in a real case. Several effective measures for controlling construction cost were put forward. The results demonstrated that the cost of the prefabricated residential building was much lower than that of the traditional concrete building. The suggestions for reducing construction cost can provide a reference for similar projects.
期刊介绍:
The Electronic Journal of Structural Engineering (EJSE) is an international forum for the dissemination and discussion of leading edge research and practical applications in Structural Engineering. It comprises peer-reviewed technical papers, discussions and comments, and also news about conferences, workshops etc. in Structural Engineering. Original papers are invited from individuals involved in the field of structural engineering and construction. The areas of special interests include the following, but are not limited to: Analytical and design methods Bridges and High-rise Buildings Case studies and failure investigation Innovations in design and new technology New Construction Materials Performance of Structures Prefabrication Technology Repairs, Strengthening, and Maintenance Stability and Scaffolding Engineering Soil-structure interaction Standards and Codes of Practice Structural and solid mechanics Structural Safety and Reliability Testing Technologies Vibration, impact and structural dynamics Wind and earthquake engineering. EJSE is seeking original papers (research or state-of the art reviews) of the highest quality for consideration for publication. The papers will be published within 3 to 6 months. The papers are expected to make a significant contribution to the research and development activities of the academic and professional engineering community.
