In view of the labor-intensive characteristics of the construction industry and the persistent negative image, the problems of continuous aging and manpower shortage in the domestic construction industry are becoming more and more serious, which must be solved for the survival of the domestic construction industry. China has made certain achievements in prefabricated buildings. Through this research, we describe the development process of China's prefabricated buildings in different stages, and analyze the necessary policy promotion and standard support in the development of prefabricated buildings. Analyze and examine the necessary conditions for China's prefabricated building achievements and success factors, and make better proposals for the development of the construction industry in South Korea.

The purpose of this study is to diagnose the level of perception of domestic construction companies about the US & Korea FTA completed in 2007. According to the survey results, the more innovative the construction company is and the stronger ownership the construction company has, the more actively preparing for FTA. Altogether, our construction companies have well recognised the inevitable impacts on the domestic construction industry. On the other hand, most of them are more or less negative about whether or not the FTA gives us a good chance to switch from domestic companies into global companies.

Since 2010, it is estimated that the old building to be dismantled potentially will be about 8.9 million house in domestic country. Consequently, now domestic demolition market size of about 1.5 trillion won is forecasted to be grow rapidly into the size of 5.8 trillion won. But in the domestic country, preparation of the raw and regulation for the demolition industry is very insufficient compared with advanced country, and the related research is also very insufficient. Therefore, in this study, it is performed to analyse and predict a trend of domestic demolition market after analysing a current trend in overseas demolition industry. A demolition industry is a related industry fallen behind over 25 years compared with a construction industry. The exact analysis of those trends will make it possible to set the standard for demolition waste management. Also this study suggests methods be able to develop the demolition industry into main area of construction industry through those analysis.

An integrated cost and schedule control is a noteworthy alternative of the separate control method which is commonly used in the domestic construction industry. In Korea, some cost and schedule integration models have been applied partly by construction managers. But, these models have not been customized yet because they did not reflect the characteristics of the domestic construction industry. This study investigates the characteristics of domestic integration models analyzed through interviews with experts who have the experiences in applying cost-schedule integration models. Based on these surveys, this study suggests the strategy for the improvement of work packaging model in the domestic construction industry.

The competitiveness of the domestic construction industry is faced with a serious crisis due to the decrease of domestic demands, and is below par with that of developed countries as well as of competing nations. There is a pressing need for a way to overcome this problem and restore competitiveness of the domestic construction industry. Therefore, this research, through real case studies, suggested a method of evaluating construction performance, which eliminates waste factors in each construction phase and maximizes cost saving effects.

The construction industry has specific characteristics compared with manufacturing industry. This means that each construction project has it's own contract documents due to the difference of environment and time. Now, the construction market is opening according to the Government Procurement Agreement by WTO. Therefore to overcome the associated risks, domestic contract rules and acts should be reformed. FIDIC and domestic construction contract conditions is investigated and analyzed. Based on the research outcomes the direction of reformation is suggested.

Domestic construction industry has seen a negative image in the sense that various accident occurs frequently. Status of construction accidents in the case of domestic workers is reduced. However, if the situation of foreign workers is increasing every year. This study aims to create high-temperature exposure standard table for foreign workers and domestic workers in the analysis through the discomfort index of fatalities and using the WBGT index for reducing fatalities foreign workers to improve the image of the construction industry.

Recently, It is being reduction to market of the domestic construction industry for the instability of the domestic market structure. So it is necessary to plan response measures for to ensure the competitiveness of the construction market of overseas. The purpose of the study is suggest of improvement of the project delivery system for the efficiency of the construction of the unit modular housing of considering the reducing cost and technological competitiveness of the domestic construction industry.

The continuous aging of the domestic construction industry and the shortage of human resource are no longer a problem for the future, but must be solved for the survival of the domestic construction industry, given the characteristics of the labor-intensive construction industry and the continuing negative image of young people toward the construction industry. It is undoubtedly a prerequisite. This study is aimed to tackle the fundamental problem of the construction labor shortage faced by the domestic construction industry by comparing and analyzing the case of MMC technology development in the UK, which has been preparing fast-track response measures for the past 5 years to solve the labor shortage problem, and the case of Buildability technology development in Singapore, which is seeking mid- to long-term countermeasures for about 20 years. Also, This research provides the initial research & development roadmap for Korean Countermeasures Strategy.
