Abstract :
    Throughout history, efforts have always been made to facilitate the construction process, increase productivity, and reduce the implementation time of construction projects. Among the most important solutions developed in this field are prefabrication and on-site construction methods. Each of them has its own characteristics that affect the quality, speed, and efficiency of construction. In the meantime, prefabrication technology is known as one of the most effective methods in reducing construction time due to the transfer of a significant part of the production process of building components to the factory environment and the possibility of simultaneously performing production and workshop preparation operations. The aim of this research is to investigate the impact of prefabrication on reducing the implementation time of construction projects and compare it with conventional construction methods. This research was conducted using a descriptive-analytical method and based on library studies and a review of implementation examples. The results show.The use of prefabricated systems, in addition to reducing dependence on weather conditions and workshop implementation limitations, reduces rework, improves resource management, and accelerates the project implementation process. Based on this, it can be concluded that the use of prefabricated technology, especially in mass construction projects and large-scale buildings, plays an effective role in reducing construction time and increasing the productivity of the construction industry دنبال کنید
