      abstract = {In the Philippines, Filipinos are affected by natural calamities (E.g. earthquakes, typhoons, etc.) all year round. Studies have shown that these calamities result in the destruction of residences, and the increase in housing shortage in the country. With the rise of modular construction as an alternative to traditional construction, it has gained popularity with its on-site construction speed, due to its parallel construction process. This research aimed to assess the awareness of the construction companies in the City of San Fernando, Pampanga regarding the adoption of modular construction as an alternative to traditional construction for housing challenges, with the purpose of assessing the level of awareness and willingness of the construction companies to adopt modular construction, identifying the most significant barriers in adopting modular construction, and the comparison between modular and traditional construction in terms of cost-effectiveness. This research employed the use of questionnaires distributed to the companies, and related literature to obtain necessary information. The awareness of the companies to employ and find the important factors affecting the adoption of modular construction were analyzed by enumerating the various aspects of modular construction in the questionnaire in a 4-scale format ranging from Strongly Not Aware to Strongly Aware and came to a conclusion that the companies were aware of modular construction with a grand mean of 3.17. The respondents were presented with a list of established barriers in modular construction and were instructed to rank their significance, and resulted in Transportation/Logistics as the most significant barrier, followed by Cost vs. Value, and Distance from Factory to Site. In obtaining their willingness to adopt modular construction, the respondents were given various possible scenarios in adopting modular construction; they were tasked to answer whether they are still willing to adopt modular construction despite the scenarios presented, resulting in an overwhelming agreement from the respondents. And in comparing modular and traditional construction methods, locally collected data was utilized to determine the cost-effectiveness of both methods, which concluded that modular construction is more cost-effective than the traditional method.},
