摘要：Industrialization has shown a strong ability to lower costs, increase quality, and make complicated items accessible to the great majority of people. However, it has not yet been applied to the construction industry as a whole. Moving towards industrialization through mechanization and automation in the construction sector is one approach for addressing issues in the construction industry such as performance, productivity, the environment, and health and safety, as well as frequent delays and cost overruns. The current research aims to analyse the constraints in the implementation of mechanization and automation on Indian construction industry. From the analysis it is observed that the most significant and frequently occurring constraints in the implementation of these technologies on site is the perception of industry professionals that these technologies acquire high cost in purchasing, implementing, updating and maintaining. After obtaining the critical constraints a framework is developed to measure cost effectiveness of mechanized and automized technologies in comparison to manual work practices to improve safety, productivity and quality standards in construction. Conclusions are established on the profit gained by machine as well as its economic viability. The proposed framework can be utilized by constructors to measure cost effectiveness of machine in comparison to manual work practices before investing in them.
