        abstract = {Rapid urbanization and population growth in developing countries like India have significantly increased the demand for urban housing. Conventional construction methods often face challenges such as project delays, labor shortages, quality issues, and excessive material wastage, leading to increased costs and environmental concerns. Modular construction, which involves off-site fabrication and on-site assembly, presents an efficient alternative with advantages including reduced construction time, improved quality control, enhanced safety, and minimized environmental impact.
However, despite these benefits, the adoption of modular construction in India remains limited due to high initial investment, lack of skilled labor, regulatory constraints, and logistical challenges. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of modular construction for urban housing by comparing it with traditional construction methods in terms of cost, time, quality, and sustainability. Additionally, scheduling tools such as Primavera P6 and MS Project are utilized to optimize project timelines and assess practical implementation. The findings are expected to provide insights into improving construction efficiency and supporting future housing development strategies.},
