Abstract Modernized Korean housing (Hanok) with competitive price has been actively developed due to the increased interests in traditional Korean housing. Developing new building materials and methods is an essential area for Modernized Hanok. This paper compared and analyzed two mock-up buildings of Modernized Hanok and one mock-up of Traditional Hanok those were actually constructed as test-beds. Many different new methods were introduced, and their influences on construction cost and schedule were analyzed in order to verify the research results as well as to find implications for future direction. As a result, the construction cost and schedule of Modernized Hanok have been decreased by about 40% and 20%, respectively, when compared with traditional one. 'Wood frame' and 'Roof' are found as being the most influencing areas with highest weights in terms of cost and schedule. Therefore, further development in these two areas would facilitate to reduce overall cost of Modernized Hanok with improved building performance.
