description This study aims to address the challenges associated with information exchange during the design and construction phases of prefabricated buildings. To overcome these obstacles, we developed a web-based Smart Collaboration System(SCS), which was inspired by Massively Multiplayer Onlinen Role-playing Game (MMORPG) technology. The methodology employed in this study involves a comprehensive literature review, the development of a prototype system, and the application of this system. The study’s results demonstrate that the utilization of MMORPG-based collaboration system improves efficiency in the design and construction process. And compared to conventional systems, the MMORPG-based system developed in this study exhibits a few key distinctions. Firstly, individual stakeholder roles are explicitly designated, enabling more efficient collaborative exchange of design and construction information. Secondly, the system effectively bridges the gap between project stages, such as design to production and production to construction. Lastly, the system introduces an element of enjoyment to the design, production, and construction process, which is typically absent in existing commercial software developers’ offerings. This research contributes to the advancement of collaborative design and construction methods by leveraging the MMORPG-based technology, and provides valuable insights for industry professionals and researchers seeking to improve collaboration and optimize the design and construction process.
