Abstract- This review paper examines the installation process in modular buildings, focusing on the challenges faced during their implementation. The global building industry is increasingly interested in modular construction due to its potential benefits such as shorter construction times, better quality control, and lower costs. The paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the installation process and its challenges, such as off-site manufacturing, shipping, and on-site assembly, and how these factors affect project success. Modular buildings are increasingly being used in various sectors, including household, business, healthcare, and education. The review provides case studies and examples of successful modular building projects worldwide. The review aims to help individuals develop efficient plans for modular building projects. In conclusion, the assembly process in modular buildings presents several issues that need to be addressed to ensure project success. By being aware of these issues and using the best methods, the building industry can expand the use of modular building techniques and enjoy the benefits associated with them. The review's findings will be beneficial to researchers, builders, and lawmakers.
