Abstract/Summary
Construction is constantly changing and evolving. Companies are always looking to improve their skills, provide a better finished product, and satisfy their client all while working in a safe environment. Industrialized Construction is an increasing trend in all sectors of construction over the past couple of years, due to the success of creating a more efficient project. Projects that utilized Industrial Construction saved more time and therefore money, while also exceeding the quality of work expected. Industrialized Construction is a very broad term with a lot of subcategories of what goes into it. These methods of increasing efficiency on the jobsite have been successfully implemented by the biggest companies in the world leading to a large increase in profit margin and number of projects worked. And as these trends are becoming more popular contractors of all sectors and sizes are beginning to implement them. While there are thousands of successful implementations of industrialized construction, not many of these come from specialty contractors due to their smaller size and level of detail in the work. This survey will investigate National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) contractors’ level of knowledge and usage of Industrialized Construction, specifically Building Information Modeling, Prefabrication, and Automation.
