Prefabricated construction involves creating building components in a designated manufacturing unit and installing the components at the construction site. Prefabricated structures construction is becoming more common, improving in quality and has become available in a variety of budgets. This method of construction majorly different as compared to traditional methods, offering numerous benefits to both client and construction company. These numerous benefits of prefabricated construction are as following:
Reusability: In traditional construction extra materials require and that lead to increased waste. If dismantled the traditional building then hardly some material are reusable. But in prefabricated structures, the components are prefabricated and accurate. The material are reusable after dismantling the prefabricated building. All components are tightened with nut and bolts in prefabricated structure.
Eco-Friendly: Due to the open process, traditional construction generate dust, a poisonous mixture of concrete, cement, wood, stone and silica. And even more vicious chemical particles which easily gets mixed in the air during construction process. But with Prefabricated construction, there is minimal air pollution and it never produces those poisonous dust. Prefabricated construction thus reduces waste pollution.
Less Expensive: Traditional construction methods are labour intensive – each section of the structure has to be installed and built manually. But Prefabricated structures are mainly built in manufacturing plant in controlled environment and installed at site. This process reduces the overall cost of labor and therefore makes prefab structures less expensive.
Greater Flexibility: If any section of the structure is installed at site and then need to change its design. In prefabricated construction, prefabricated structures are made up of many individual parts and that allows for a greater amount of flexibility in design. If something needs to be changed in the design then the specific prefab part can simply be altered before production.
Reduced Construction Time: Prefabricated constructions take a fraction of the time to complete compared to traditional building. Components of any prefabricated steel structure are manufactured in the manufacturing plant according to the industrial standard and then installed at construction site of the project. This process can takes significantly lesser time. In traditional construction, contractor has to wait for each component which to be built and installed on site. So traditional construction is time taking process while prefabricated reduced the construction time.
Weather friendly Raw Materials : Components of prefabricated structure are manufactured in a controlled environment according to the industrial standards. Carbon fiber coating and monocoat paint are used to prevent corrosion in components of prefabricated structure. So moisture does not affect prefabricated components in rainy season.
