The invention relates to a prefabricated foundation pit for additionally installing an elevator and a construction method. According to the technical scheme, the prefabricated foundation pit comprisesa foundation pit main body, slope surfaces, a steel bar frame, a concrete cushion layer, a lifting ring, a grounding connecting plate and a column foot anchor bolt. According to the prefabricated foundation pit, the whole foundation pit is used as a prefabricated part, modular design and manufacturing are formed outside a construction site, and quality control is facilitated; the two slope surfaces are arranged on the foundation pit main body, on one hand, concrete pouring during foundation pit main body manufacturing is facilitated, and on the other hand, the effects of flow guiding and drainage can be achieved in the later period; the whole prefabricated foundation pit is simple in structure, construction is conducted in a hoisting installation mode, construction is facilitated, and thetrouble of carrying out a large amount of concrete pouring work on the construction site is omitted; and the time for waiting for concrete curing is not needed, the construction time is saved, the construction cost is reduced, butt joint is rapid, safe and reliable, and the influence of site construction on the site environment and surrounding residents can be effectively reduced.
