Abstract
Offsite construction has gathered momentum in recent years due to its improved performance in terms of project cost, schedule, quality, environmental impact, and safety. Offsite prefabricated systems vary depending on the size of prefabricated components, which affect the need for onsite construction. These systems include categories such as modular, panelized, prefabricated, and processed materials construction. Each category has its own unique practices and can be blended with other categories in a hybrid offsite construction system. Several research studies have introduced scheduling and planning techniques for panelized and hybrid offsite construction using BIM and simulation tools. This paper thus presents an alternative BIM-based integrated framework for modelling and planning of hybrid offsite construction projects. This paper first introduces the literature pertaining to planning, and scheduling techniques for offsite construction; then, it presents the proposed computational along with a case study to verify the efficiency of the proposed integrated framework. Finally, conclusions related to implementation of the proposed framework are summarized.
