Abstract
Industrialization and standardization of prefabricated construction has brought reform and improvements to the construction industry and has changed the traditional construction mode. Prefabricated construction reduces labor demand and environmental pollution, which is in response to the government’s “low-carbon environmental protection, green industry” call. Prefabricated projects, while improving engineering quality and work efficiency, also entail complexity and uncertainty. The development of industrialization projects in China still lags behind, and many risks restrict the development of successful prefabricated projects. This paper focuses on the specific problem of design change risk, and uses an empirical study to study the impact of design change risk factors, identify and prioritize them for different design change risk events. We also propose specific management strategies accordingly.
