Abstract

Modular construction has emerged as an innovative solution in the building industry, offering substantial potential for enhanced efficiency, cost reduction, and sustainable building practices. However, its development in Chongqing faces several unique challenges. This paper seeks to identify and analyze the key constraints that hinder the widespread adoption of modular construction in the region. Through a comprehensive review of the local construction environment, including regulatory frameworks, material supply chains, labor forces, and technological limitations, the study highlights critical barriers such as insufficient industry standards, a shortage of skilled labor, and logistical challenges. Utilizing a qualitative approach combined with case studies, this research provides a clearer understanding of the specific obstacles faced by the construction industry in Chongqing. The findings aim to provide valuable insights for policymakers, construction managers, and stakeholders, offering guidance on how to address these constraints and promote the growth of modular construction in the region.
