Configuration analysis of the influencing factors of design standardization in China’s building industrialization —— Qualitative Comparative Analysis based on (fsQCA) fuzzy set

Abstract

The construction industrialization will be the main development direction of building industry in the future, how to achieve building industrialization has become the focus of attention in the industry. As the core of building industrialization, design standardization is an important method to improve the efficiency and save the construction period of prefabricated buildings. The unsound design standardization is the most prominent reason that hinders the development of the whole building industrialization. How to realize design standardization in design enterprises has not been effectively solved. Questionnaire survey was used to investigate and collect data from relevant enterprises, and fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) was used to analyze the data. The causal and complex influence mechanism of the configuration effect of five factors at internal and external levels on design standardization was discussed. The results show that:government and industry regulations and professional and technical personnel are sufficient and unnecessary conditions to influence design standardization;When government and industry regulations and professional and technical personnel exist at the same time or only one of them exists, design standardization can be realized by complementing other influencing factors. The conclusion provides valuable reference for future research and application in theory and practice.
