Abstract: Abstract Prefabricated buildings, a new type of construction, are a major approach to promoting the industrialization of buildings. In recent years, China advocates prefabricated buildings as a form of architecture. However, they remain at the initial stage of promotion, and numerous driving factors and constraints coexist. This work first analyzes the development of Chinese prefabricated buildings on the basis of SWOT theory, and it then summarizes 11 drivers and constraints. The weight of each development-influencing factor is obtained through questionnaire surveys and expert interviews and the entropy weight method. Results show that construction technology difficulty, construction cost, environmental protection, policy support, and production efficiency greatly affect the development of prefabricated buildings in China. In accordance with calculation and analytical results, this work proposes corresponding development strategies and recommendations, which provide a theoretical basis for promoting the development, construction, and operation management of China’s prefabricated buildings. The relevant theoretical results presented in this study may serve as a reference to relevant departments.
