INTRODUCTION
Construction industries face an on going challenge of maintaining, rehabilitating, expanding and constructing using innovative way of construction method (KTC, 2005). The new approach to construct a building or infrastructure has been to perform faster construction to save money and increase the quality of work. In order to accomplish this, the rapid construction method has to be introduced that allow the policy of get in, get out and stay out. This approach relies on the use of innovative rapid construction methods to complete the work in a quality manner and in a timeframe that will have a minimal impact on the public. There are many advantages to using innovative rapid construction methods. By reducing construction time, these methods can minimize delays, mitigate congestion, save money and improve the safety aspect without sacrificing quality (Goodrum et. al., 2005). Rapid construction provides a significant opportunity to reduce congestion associated in the construction flow.

These methods will lesson project durations while retaining quality. Opportunities for innovative methods in rapid construction are numerous. For example, pre- cast/modularization.
