Abstract

Several studies have described the application of mass customization practices in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry to increase efficiency and productivity. However, there is limited literature on how configuration systems, which are widely used in engineer-to-order firms, can help cope with a fragmented AEC value chain. This paper reports an action research study that investigated the benefits of using configuration systems to automate single-family home construction processes. The findings showed that integrating a configuration system in the building project process could significantly streamline the information workflow by decreasing the specifications lead time and improving the system’s data.
