Prefabrication in Construction

April 21, 2020

Let’s understand what is prefabrication? And how it will help in construction industry?

Prefabrication is a new technology and desirable for large scale housing programme. Prefabrication, the assembly of buildings or their components at a location other than the building site. In these prefabricated components doors, stairs, window walls, floor panels, roof trusses, room-sized components, and even entire buildings are included. It is widely used now a days.

Advantages of Prefabrication

Eco-friendly

In traditional concrete construction requirement of the materials are more therefore waste is more. On the other side in prefabrication method components made in the factory and waste materials are re-used and recycled.

Financial savings

One of the greatest advantages of prefabricated construction would be financial savings. Modular construction targets all budgets and price points, creating an affordable option. In addition to that it will reduce the construction time significantly that save on construction financing costs.

Flexibility

It can be easily be disassembled and relocated to different sites. It reduces demand of raw material, minimize expanded energy and decreases overall time.

Consistent Quality

Prefabricated construction follows specific standards and occurs in controlled environment hence uniform quality is made.

Reduced Site Disruption

Most of the components built in the factory and final product will be supplied to the sites hence it will create less truck traffic, equipment requirement at site.

Safety

Since sub-assemblies are created in a factory-controlled environment utilizing dry materials, there is less risk for problems associated with moisture, environmental hazards and dirt.
