Abstract The research efforts to modernize Hanok (Korean traditional housing) have been performed to improve the quality and cost-effectiveness through application of modern building methods and materials, and to disseminate it in various forms of sizes and facilities. In this study, in order to identify the variations of modernized Hanok, data from seven test-bed projects are analyzed based on the building work-section, element, method, and material. The data were standardized and managed through the modernized Hanok classification system (Hanclass) to facilitate systematic comparisons of the test-bed projects by the variation of building method and it's cost impact. Identified factors of the variation in terms of building methods were then itemized and quantified in terms of building cost. Findings of this study indicate that the timber structure is the most critical area for future variation for improving the quality and cost-effectiveness. The results of this study will be also used to systemize the Hanok database for further studies.
