Abstract
Precast concrete elements are one of the most remarkable developments in the construction of concrete structures. In recent decades, precast concrete elements have been widely used for architectural and structural buildings. The construction method is mainly divided into two stages: manufacture of mass-produced components in a permanent construction facility, and assembly of components on the construction site. The use of precast concrete elements has increased in recent years because these precast concrete elements provide the advantages of construction effectiveness, high levels of quality control, saving construction time, minimization of skilled labor, reduced manpower requirements on site and savings in formwork requirements. Numerous researchers have studied the adoption model within their individual fields of study.This study attempts to model the various factors that influence this industrys effectiveness in adopting precast concrete elements. These factors can be broadly defined as enablers and include the product characteristics, communication channels, management support and environmental impact. The performance and interaction between these enablers influence the degree of adoption achieved. Factor analysis was used to confirm and refine grouping of significant factors.
