Population growth and the increasing demand for housing require a shift from traditional construction methods to industrialized approaches aligned with sustainable development. Using modern materials and technologies can lower costs, shorten construction time, and improve quality.This study reviewed literature and consulted experts to identify factors influencing the adoption of industrialized construction methods. A researcher-designed questionnaire was completed by 92 construction professionals, and factors were grouped into four main indicators. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was applied to prioritize them.Findings showed that the urban management index, with a weight of 0.454, was the most influential factor. This index highlights environmental responsibilities and managerial commitments within the urban system. Its proper implementation can significantly reduce energy consumption and promote sustainable practices. Within this index, strict legislation, effective monitoring, and proper resource allocation (weight 0.15) were identified as critical sub-factors.The results stress the importance of urban governance in facilitating sustainable construction. By focusing on management and policy, decision-makers and construction firms can better integrate innovative technologies into housing projects. This study provides practical guidance for aligning industrialized construction with sustainability goals, improving efficiency, and reducing environmental impacts while meeting growing housing needs
