Prefabricated construction

Components made off-site in a factory, put together on-site to create a structure.

Typically prefabricated construction is carried out prior to delivery of units to a building site, enabling a building programme to be completed quickly and efficiently. Historically these have been regarded as cheaper building alternatives. However, with new technologies, it is possible to find high quality and durable prefabricated structures.

Prefabricated construction, or “prefab,” is a method of construction that is becoming increasingly popular all over North America, especially in places like Los Angeles and Arizona. This strategy uses components made off-site in a factory, put together on-site to create a structure.

Prefabrication avoids the need to transport so many skilled workers to the construction site, and other restricting conditions such as a lack of power, lack of water, exposure to harsh weather or a hazardous environment are avoided.

They might form the building envelope, stair cores, internal load-bearing walls or lighter partitions. They might be open or closed panel systems, precast concrete panels or other panel types, all created through a range of advanced off-site manufacturing technologies.

Prefabricated, building materials used for small prefabricated buildings are steel, wood, fibreglass. Plastic or aluminium materials. These materials are cheaper than regular brick and concrete buildings. Materials like steel, fibreglass, wood and aluminium are used as prefabricated building materials for sports buildings. These materials provide flexibility and are preferred for making structures and accessories like stands and seats for stadiums and gyms.

For making low cost housed, prefabricated materials like straw bale, Ferro cement calcium silicate. Products, campsites and other cheap wood-based materials are currently being used calcium silicate bricks are strong and durable. Ferro cement consists of a cement matrix reinforced with a mesh of closely-spaced iron rods or wires. In this type of construction, the techniques used are simple & quick.

Many prefabricated buildings use containers that are modified stacked, fitted with doors and windows and insulated. Using Prefabricated materials one can make durable water and fire resistant and cheap prefabricated buildings. Most of the prefabricated building materials are eco-friendly & affordable.
