description Under the background of China’s progress towards the goals of “carbon peak” and “carbon neutrality”, prefabricated buildings have developed rapidly due to their advantages of energy conservation and environmental protection, low construction cost, and high efficiency. While much attention has been paid to prefabricated buildings, less has been studied about the risk factors that cause engineering changes. In this paper, the factors that induce the risk of design change were identified from six aspects: personnel management, resource management, organization management, information and communication, collaboration mechanism, and technical level. The improved DEMATEL-ISM model was established in a fuzzy environment, the relationship between the influencing factors was quantitatively analyzed, the hierarchy between the factors was intuitively reflected, and the driving force and dependence of each factor were clearly displayed; it was concluded that poor organizational ability, errors and omissions in design, time lag between design and construction, immature component splitting and deepening design technology, and low standardization of production components in component factories are the key factors that induce the risk of design change. Finally, management implications for the relationship between various factors were proposed. This article provides references and help for the construction industry to effectively manage the risks caused by design changes.
