Аннотация к работе
Many prefabrication technologies deliver a better product because building is done in a quality controlled, sheltered environment. Builders will have to develop new construction methods and adapt existing methods from other industries and countries. As construction evolves into an industrialized process, new construction methods and building systems are also being developed to assemble prefabricated components. This form of building has been used in the desert Southwest for nearly 1, 000 years, while its historical origins can be traced back to Rome, as early as the 1st century This means that the design must be at an advanced stage before construction starts.computers have helped speed up design considerably in recent years, and can allow designers to thoroughly analyze the building for different purposes before construction starts.As they become more educated about energy conservation, lighting, indoor air quality, and other health and comfort related issues, consumers (homebuyers and commercial property owners) increasingly want their buildings to be built to the highest standards. Continued growth in communications technologies, consumer electronics, and other creature comfort systems will make building construction more complex.computer controlled heating and ventilation and multi room access to entertainment and communications are some of the features that will be incorporated in future "smart" houses and buildings. Assembling and installing these technologically advanced systems in an exposed, site built structure will not please the owner. Construction labour force is aging and shrinking as progressively fewer young people enter the industry. This pressure will lead builders to industrialized construction, which requires fewer specialized trades and people.

Вывод
In fact, a number of social factors are also pushing the construction industry toward industrialization of the construction process. The demand for high quality buildings is growing in the whole world and the rest of the world. As they become more educated about energy conservation, lighting, indoor air quality, and other health and comfort related issues, consumers (homebuyers and commercial property owners) increasingly want their buildings to be built to the highest standards. Prefabrication of building components using mechanized, computer controlled tools is one way to consistently achieve high quality. Almost all building materials will be manufactured industrially in the near future, and it is natural to expect more and more assembly of these materials in a controlled environment away from the building site.

Continued growth in communications technologies, consumer electronics, and other creature comfort systems will make building construction more complex.computer controlled heating and ventilation and multi room access to entertainment and communications are some of the features that will be incorporated in future "smart" houses and buildings. Assembling and installing these technologically advanced systems in an exposed, site built structure will not please the owner.

Construction labour force is aging and shrinking as progressively fewer young people enter the industry. If demand for labour remains the same and the supply decreases, costs will increase. This pressure will lead builders to industrialized construction, which requires fewer specialized trades and people.

Industrially produced buildings have come a long way from the repetitive boxes most people associate with the word "prefabrication". The move to industrial construction is inevitable, and designers and builders should pay attention to its opportunities now.
