摘要

目的 为了激励创新、提高竞争力、降低技能稀缺性并缓解住房负担能力方面的困难,支持者强调了采用现代建筑方法的相关性,并特别强调体积模块化建筑(VMC)是一种可持续的生产和消费模式。然而,澳大利亚的建筑行业利益相关者在采用 VMC 方面遇到了巨大挑战,因为其采用率仍然很低。因此,本研究调查了阻碍澳大利亚建筑行业采用 VMC 的制约因素。研究采用定性方法,以半结构式访谈为核心,收集专业专家的观点和见解,并进行帕累托和平均指数评分分析。研究结果本研究确定了 77 个由专业人士报告和验证的 VMC 制约因素,将其分为八类:文化、经济、知识、市场、监管、利益相关者、供应链和技术。平均指数得分分析表明,利益相关者(µ = 9.67)是最重要的制约因素,其次是文化(µ = 9.62)和监管(µ = 9.11)制约因素。帕累托分析显示,在 77 个制约因素中,有 25 个属于不同类别中的 "极少数"。本研究提出了虚拟多媒体中心制约因素的因果关系和缓解策略,随后论证了在澳大利亚采用虚拟多媒体中心是否需要推动或授权。原创性/价值这是首批确定澳大利亚 VMC 限制因素并将其划分为不同类别、确定其因果关系并提出克服这些限制因素的对策的研究之一。

Nudge or mandate: an exploration into the constraints of volumetric modular construction in Australia
PurposeTo incentivize innovation, support competitiveness, lower skill scarcities, and alleviate the housing affordability difficulty, proponents underscore the pertinence of embracing contemporary construction methodologies, with particular emphasis on volumetric modular construction (VMC) as a sustainable paradigm for production and consumption. However, construction industry stakeholders in Australia have encountered profound challenges in adopting VMC, as its adoption remains significantly low. Therefore, this study investigated the constraints that hinder VMC in the Australian construction industry.Design/methodology/approachThe study used qualitative methodology using semi-structured interviews as a core approach to glean professional experts' perspectives and insights, along with Pareto and mean index score analyses.FindingsThe study identified 77 reported and validated VMC constraints by professionals, categorizing them into eight categories: cultural, economic, knowledge, market, regulatory, stakeholder, supply chain, and technological. The mean index score analysis reveals stakeholder (µ = 9.67) constraints are the most significant, followed by cultural (µ = 9.62) and regulatory (µ = 9.11) constraints. Pareto analysis revealed 25 of the 77 constraints as ‘vital few” among different categories. This study presented causal relationships and mitigation strategies for VMC constraints, followed by an argument on whether VMC adoption in Australia requires a nudge or mandate.Practical implicationsThis study offers guidance for efficient resource allocation, aiding management and government policy formulation. It's also valuable for global audiences, especially countries transitioning to modular construction.Originality/valueThis is one of the first studies to identify VMC constraints and delineate them into different categories in Australia, identify their causal interrelationships, and deliver countermeasures to overcome them.
