This paper seeks to evaluate the distinctive effects of technological innovations within the construction industry on time, savings and the national economy. It is important to consider that developments are not solely based on the need to build your own residence but also to positively affect the functional and economic requirements and conditions of sustainable housing. The agenda for sustainable construction has birthed the development of new prefabricated housing
construction technologies. The study evaluates the distinctive effects of technological innovations within the building
construction industry on time, savings and the national economy of developing countries. Also it addresses the underlying challenges inherent to the use of technological innovations and
prefabrication systems and also on the economic efficiency of the project lifecycle in the Ghanaian building Construction industry. Lesser developed countries continue to embrace technology from developed country counterparts.
This study contains five main parts and it is based on responses from a questionnaire survey conducted on consultants in the construction industry and relevant theories and information from
the literature. Based on the information provided by the respondents, the Factor analysis method and Descriptive statistics were used as analytical tools.
