In prefabricated buildings, there are numerous types of prefabricated components, forming a complex combination of schemes that are difficult to select. Therefore, this article takes prefabricated components combination schemes as the object. By constructing the evaluation index system through four aspects of assembly rate, cost, duration, and carbon footprint, then using the fuzzy gray correlation projection method to evaluate and select. A residential in Wuhan, China, was enlisted to conduct a case study to show the application of the proposed method. Results indicate that among the six choices, the L scheme is optimal, and the selection order of the prefabricated components in different scenarios is ranked. The results reveal that the method has good applicability, simultaneously provides a reasonable and effective reference for each participant of the assembled building when making scheme comparison, and also provides a new method for the evaluation study of prefabricated component combination schemes.
