Abstract
China promotes prefabrication technology in façade industry, which encourages the utilization of prefabricated façade system. Prefabricated façade system needs more integration, which can be achieved through reorganizing the façade development process. Theoretically, integrated principles would be helpful to reorganize the process in achieving integrations. However, in implementation, Chinese façade professionals face barriers, due to current delivery practice and traditional procurement context.
The purpose of this paper is to present a case study on the attempt to reorganize façade development process to enjoy the benefits of integration in a traditional Design-Bid-Built (DBB) commercial building project, in China. The scope of the paper covers: i) the current façade development process, and the problems faced by façade subcontractor, ii) the constructive façade development process inspired by integrated delivery principles, and iii) the barriers to implement new delivery process. It was found that the benefits of the integration may not be completed realized on façade subcontractor side due to some task-related barriers, contract-related barriers, and people-related barriers. Suggestions for those who are working or will work in Chinese façade industry are provided.
