Abstract

Technology advances improve lifestyles and bring new ideas to make life easier. In this segment, construction industries are crucial, and changing approaches to produce critical structures is challenging. Furthermore, the building business is influenced by a number of factors that could be improved. The construction sector needs improvement after many years. It is one of the most significant economic sectors. First and foremost, this essay explores different modular construction and traditional constriction in high rises and tries to establish ideas that encouraging individuals to build more productively can change the mentality of the building industry, as well as clients, homeowners, and decision-makers. The effectiveness of modular construction in high-rise structures was investigated in this study utilizing real-world case studies in various places in order to identify the most important aspects that influence productivity and construction time, as well as restrictions and challenges.
