Abstract

With the escalating prevalence of modular construction projects, there is a concurrent surge in scholarly and industrial intrigue in this domain, leading to a broadened spectrum of its applications. Modular construction, inherently facilitated by controlled factory settings, boasts the capability to consistently deliver edifices of superior quality. To optimize this advantage, the judicious integration of quality assurance methodologies during the site-specific phases of lifting and assembly is non-negotiable. This research embarked on a survey directed at project stakeholders, aiming to gauge the perceived significance and efficaciousness of prevailing quality preservation and oversight protocols during the aforementioned site stages, subsequently employing the Importance-Performance Analysis(IPA) for data interpretation. The findings elucidated that, while a majority of quality assurance procedures were adeptly executed, perceptual disparities existed among stakeholders regarding certain aspects, prompting recommendations for enhancement. This investigative endeavor lays a foundation, aiding future studies in amplifying the quality assurance cognizance among professionals during modular construction's site-assembly phase.

모듈러 건축 사례가 많아지면서 모듈러 건축에 관한 관심이 높아지고 적용 대상 범위가 확대되고 있다. 모듈러 건축의 장점 중 하나는 공장제작을 통한 우수한 품질의 건축물을 안정적으로 공급할 수 있는 것이다. 이를 위해, 현장 양중 및 설치 단계까지 품질관리를 위한 노력과 방법 적용이 필수적이다. 본 연구는 현재 현장 양중 및 설치 단계에서 품질유지 및 관리에 적용하고 있는 방안들의 중요도와 예방효과를 프로젝트 참여자들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하고, 이를 IPA 방법으로 분석하였다. 그 결과, 대부분의 품질 유지 및 관리 방법이 잘 적용되고 있으나, 프로젝트 참여자들간 일부 항목들에 대한 인식 차이가 있음을 확인하였고, 이에 대한 개선방안을 제시하였다. 본 연구 결과는 추후 프로제트 참여자들의 현장설치단계 품질관리 인식개선을 위한 연구에 활용할 수 있다.
