Modular Construction for Fast-Paced Residential Housing in the Philippines2022 IEEE 14th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management (HNICEM), (2022), pp. 1-7
As the Philippine Government continues to encourage the use of modular construction for its fast completion rate, still, the said innovative method is not well-known and practiced in the Philippines. The aim of this study is to analyze the modular construction system as a feasible solution for the Philippine's housing crisis and construction delays, as well as for its wide applicability in the Philippines for residential housing projects by the means of comparing its project duration to the conventional way. This seeks to identify if there are significant differences between the two construction methods. The Jamovi Software was used to execute the one-tailed independent samples t-testing. A survey was also done to compare and validate the results of the statistical analysis. Based on the findings, modular construction was found substantially faster, but in some instances, the difference between the overall project duration of conventional and modular construction does not vary significantly. Based on the survey result, 77.67% of the respondents agreed that modular construction is faster in terms of project duration. Although the numerical results revealed that the differences are not considered as statistically significant, still, modular construction takes the upper hand by looking at the average construction time, in which the survey respondents also believed. With that, the potential of modular construction can still be recognized as a feasible solution to the construction delays and the Philippines' housing crisis.
