What is Prefabricated Construction?

Prefabrication means the assembly of buildings, or their segments, takes place at a location other than the job site.

This method controls costs by managing shorter time periods, cost for construction, and less material waste.

Prefabricated construction is becoming more and more common because of the numerous benefits!

Eco Friendly

Whether it is related to the construction of office buildings or any portable classrooms, modular construction has always been commended for energy efficiency and sustainable construction. Prefabricated construction has always taken the environment as its first concern. Whereas, traditional construction methods require extra materials that simply increase waste. Thus, considering prefabricated construction for your office space is not only energy efficient, but also eco-friendly.

Financial Savings & Shorter Construction Time

Financial and time savings are considered two of the greatest advantages of prefabricated construction. Modular construction takes into account your needs and targets all budgets and price points, making it an affordable option. The reduction in construction time and materials significantly saves on construction financing costs. Prefabricated construction takes less time to build than on-site construction, usually less than half the time when compared to traditional construction.

Consistent Quality

Being built in a factory controlled environment, prefabricated construction is known for consistent quality, using only the highest quality lumber, plumbing, and other building materials. Additionally, the same codes, specifications, and materials are used just as required of conventional construction.  

Reduced Site Disruption

As various components of a building are completed in the factory, this significantly results in less truck traffic, equipment and material suppliers around the final construction site. This helps in reducing the disruption of traditional job sites that suffer from noise, pollution, waste, and other common irritants. 

Flexibility

Modular construction is flexible. It can easily be dismantled and relocated to different sites. This majorly reduces the demand for raw materials, minimizes expended energy, and decreases time overall. 

Safety

Prefabricated construction eliminates many safety issues as well. Since building and assembly are designed in a factory-controlled environment employing dry materials, the risk for problems associated with moisture, environmental perils, and dirt becomes less. This assures that those on the construction site, as well as a project’s inevitable tenants, are less likely to be exposed to weather-related issues and risks. Also, an indoor construction environment presents significantly fewer risks for accidents and other liabilities. 

With the continued gain in popularity of prefabricated construction, demand will continue to rise. Customers who choose this option can enjoy high quality, cost-effective, time-saving, and eco-friendly construction methods.
