Description
Summary:Prefabrication in construction, or off-site construction, is pointed out by researchers as an alternative to industrialize the construction process and achieve better levels of performance. The use of prefabricated panel systems, in turn, is considered a more flexible and simpler option among the various types of off-site construction. These systems are also indicated as ideal for the construction of social housing, because of its high sustainable performance and easy execution. Moreover, due to the housing shortage verified in less developed countries, new construction methods that make the construction of social housing faster and cheaper are necessary. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate, through the methodology of Systematic Review of Literature, how the application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) can aid in the planning process of  projects with prefabricated panels, in order to highlight the potential use of these technologies as a way of addressing the demand for housing in emerging and underdeveloped countries.
