Abstract

The objective of this research paper is to identify through case studies the relationships that exist between the key stakeholders on modular projects as opposed to conventional projects. Through case studies, we identified three types of relationships between key project stakeholders: (1) Full Integration, (2) Partial Integration, and (3) Weak Integration. The case study findings lead us to make three claims: (1) a direct contractual relationship and familiarity must exist between the general contractor and modular fabricator; (2) engaging an architect familiar with the modular system through a direct or indirect relationship is imperative; and (3) the more familiarity and relationships between the four major stakeholders that exist on modular projects, the better the outcome of the project.

본 연구의 목적은 모듈러 건설사업의 주요 참여자들간의 다양한 관계(Relationship)를 살펴보고 몇 가지 정형화된 유형을 정의하는 것이다. 사례연구를 통해 (1) 강한 통합 관계, (2) 부분 통합 관계, 그리고 (3) 약한 통합 관계로 나누고 각 관계의 특성에 대해 조사하였다. 또한 사례연구를 기반으로 다음 세가지 명제를 도출하였다. (1) 시공사와 모듈러제작사간의 직접적인 계약관계가 필요하며, 서로간의 이해가 필요하다. (2) 건축설계사는 모듈러제작사가 제공하는 모듈러시스템에 대한 충분한 이해와 경험을 가지고 있어야 한다. (3) 주요사업참여자(시공사, 모듈러제작사, 건축설계사, 발주자) 간의 관계가 좋을 수록 모듈러사업의 성과도 좋다.
