Abstract: Abstract Off-site construction (OSC) has been recognized as a sustainable construction method with environmental and economic benefits globally. However, the promotion of OSC in China is lagged during the past twenty years, and without appropriated policies suited to the national condition. This paper aims to investigate the major differences between the government’s role to promoting OSC in China and three developed countries, to further the understanding of market expectations of the most effective government measures to encourage OSC development in China. This paper adopted a combination of a comparative study and questionnaire survey. Firstly, comparative studies between three developed counties were conducted, and to explore the effective paths for reference in China. Secondly, a questionnaire survey was sent out to developers in China, which could collect market expectations of favorable measures that the Chinese government could promote OSC, 84 respondents of 200 were returned. Finally, based on the fundamental of comparative study and ranking analysis of questionnaire survey, incentive policies were found to be the most expected government measures while some reasonable technical policies were needed as well.
