Abstract
Prefabrication, preassembly, modularization, and off-site fabrication (PPMOF) have become more viable with recent advances in design and information technologies and offer a substantial opportunity to improve project performance. Successful implementation of PPMOF requires systematic analysis and early decision-making based on project factors. Preliminary research by the CII PPMOF project team updated those factors influencing PPMOF decisions and developed a decision framework. Continuing the preliminary research, this study identified the current decision-making paradigm for evaluating the applicability of PPMOF. The team refined the preliminary decision framework and developed a computerized tool to aid project teams in the decision-making process. The developed tool was validated by potential users in the industry. A description of the tool and guidelines to implementing the tool are presented in this report.
