Abstract

Prefabricated Housing may hold the solution for the UK’s shortage in residential dwellings. However, the decision-making process throughout the design and construction stages lacks efficient collaboration of relevant stakeholders. Meanwhile, the industry has embraced Building information modelling (BIM) in recent years to improve the quality of projects and their documentation. In turn, BIM provides a platform for emerging and existing technologies to be implemented at a greater degree within the construction phase. To address the communication and decision-making issues onsite, this thesis proposes a conceptual framework that integrates AR within the RIBA stage five for Prefabricated Housing. The author intends to analyse existing studies to facilitate their recognition and to steer future research. While the long term strategy is for AR to take a degree of context awareness, the primary goal is to operate alongside sensing technologies to provide better decision making resources for the operative. The results of the framework aim to facilitate better integration between stakeholders and technology onsite. At the same time, looking to improve the
uality of life and work for the operative as opposed to entirely replacing them.
