Thesis advisor is Dr. Sameh El-Sayegh. Soft copy is available (Thesis, Completion Certificate, Approval Signatures, and AUS Archives Consent Form).As the demand, for construction grows it's important to raise awareness and gather knowledge about this modular construction to enhance sustainability and efficiency in the construction industry. Embracing modular construction is key to project success; project owners and managers can improve their chances of achieving their goals by utilizing this approach. A review of existing literature has highlighted the benefits, challenges and enablers that support modular construction in the industry. However, there is a lack of understanding about modular construction in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and a need for a comprehensive list outlining its benefits, challenges, and enablers. The primary aim of this research is to prioritize and rank these aspects of construction. If embraced fully, modular construction could revolutionize the UAEs building sector by offering efficient and eco-friendly solutions while leveraging advanced technologies to overcome traditional hurdles. Additionally, successful implementation of modular architecture in the UAE will require collaboration between private sectors along, with the introduction of new funding strategies. The decision to adopt modular construction should involve a thorough assessment of its benefits, challenges, and enablers. Key benefits include faster completion, improved quality control, and reduced rework, while drawbacks like limited flexibility and regulatory issues must be considered. Future research should target modular construction specialists and incorporate interviews to enhance insights. Key research areas include sustainability, AI and robotics, smart technologies, economic and market analyses, policy frameworks, detailed case studies, supply chain optimization, and workforce development. These efforts will advance innovation and efficiency in modular construction.College of EngineeringMultidisciplinary ProgramsMaster of Science in Construction Management (MSCM)El-Sayegh, Sameh2024-09-24T05:57:18Z2024-09-24T05:57:18Z2024-05info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/doctoralThesisapplication/pdf35.232-2024.26https://hdl.handle.net/11073/25618en_USoai:repository.aus.edu:11073/256182025-06-26T12:33:10Z |
