Analyzing DfMA uptake in the construction industry is crucial to understanding its current and future implementation. However, more studies are still needed on this topic. This review primarily aims to identify the factors of DfMA for advanced industrialized construction. This research aims to integrate DfMA principles into industrialized construction by leveraging advanced construction components and their connection with DfMA. This study used a multi-step research method to achieve the main research goal: creating an analytical framework for advanced industrialized construction through bibliometric analysis and using qualitative meta-analysis to identify DfMA factors and general DfMA-like concepts in advanced industrialized construction. We arrived at a conceptual model by identifying factors and elements of the DfMA for industrialized construction. Implementing automation and robotic systems into the construction process, off-site construction, construction 4.0, information communication technology and digital technologies, prefabrication, lean construction, sustainability, and virtual design and construction are &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:10.0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:107%&quot;&gt;&lt;span new=&quot;&quot; roman=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;font-family:&quot; times=&quot;&quot;&gt;DfMA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span new=&quot;&quot; roman=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;font-family:&quot; times=&quot;&quot;&gt; factors for advanced industrialized construction. This document provides a reference for future construction direction to achieve advanced industrialized construction and can be used as a starting point for more theoretical and empirical research.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
