Abstract

In order to promote the transformation of China's construction industry to industrialization and promote the sustainable development of the construction industry. Based on the interpreted structure model, the influence factors of prefabricated building cost are considered in the EPC project general contracting model, and the cost influencing factor structure model of design stage, procurement stage and construction stage is constructed. Under this model, the various factors are interrelated to form a complex system, and the relevant data are from the ISM group composed of relevant experts in the construction industry. Results indicate that the rate of prefabricated, component usage, the output of a file, and inventory management is surface factor affecting the cost, the usage of machinery and equipment, the geographical location of a file, the level of the hoisting installation, field management level and the causes of the rationality of the component split is an intermediary, standar disation of the modulus, the degree of professional design personnel and the special requirements of project owner is the root cause. In order to further reduce the cost of prefabricated buildings, it is necessary to strengthen the skill training of designers and standardize the uniform modulus standards.
