Abstract
The demand for promoting industrialization construction methods is increasing in Korea to cope with various construction environments, such as the lack of construction engineers, aging construction workers, and the government's 52-hour workweek policy. The industrial housing accreditation system was introduced in 1992 to recognize and improve the quality of industrial housing, but only six companies are currently certified, and there are no records of constructing industrial houses. Currently, the industrialized housing accreditation system in Korea comprises standards for the recognition, revocation of recognition, and promoting the construction of industrial houses. Therefore, this study analyzed the regulations of the industrialized housing accreditation system, derived the problems of each regulation, and derived improvement directions to promote the industrialized housing accreditation system in Korea. Specific measures include expanding the current industrial housing accreditation scope to quasi (semi)-housing, revising the performance and production standards of industrialized housing, relaxing the building standards, and providing financial support to promote industrialized housing.
