Pre-fabrication andindustrialization are referred as a solution of sustainable construction due to some of its main characteristics consisting of manysustainability aspects. Due to this fact, the application of these building systems in most cases, makes achieving to sustainablebuilding more easy. Sustainability aspects in industrialized systems are categorized in four groups of environmental, social,economical and technical issues and in each group some of general characteristics of industrialization in these methods arestudied.
