5 Ways Prefabrication Benefits your Construction Project By- RDT Tech
Introduction • In the last few years, Global demand for infrastructure and real estate ventures has grown. According to a leading report, about 13% of India’s GDP will be contributed by the construction industry by 2025. So, imagine the contribution of the construction industry towards the GDP of various developed countries!
Introduction • In addition to that, the rise of cutting-edge technologies like Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, Building Information Modeling (BIM), Virtual Reality and Artificial Reality will certainly help bring about a radical change in the construction industry. • For a long time, the construction industry was the least advanced, in terms of digitization and utilization of technologies, but this is about to change dramatically in the next few years.
Introduction • Ai has already created the groundwork for the construction industry’s digitization with BIM technology. It’s mind-boggling to consider the exponential growth of this industry and it is our goal to keep up with the current demands and trends of the construction industry while maintaining high-quality production and minimizing safety challenges. • “Prefabrication is a growing trend that has the potential to overcome these challenges.”
What is Prefabrication? • Assembling the components of a building or a structure in advance at a manufacturing site/factory, and then bringing them to the construction site, is known as prefabrication • Prior to the start of a project, a third-party provider constructs and puts together a number of components that will be used for the construction project. • Did you know? This practice is not new. Prefabrication techniques date back more than a century ago! • But, during those times, prefabrication was associated with off-site, modular buildings of interior quality, which is why it failed to catch on.
What is Prefabrication? • However, BIM technology has revolutionized this approach in the past few years. As the quality and efficiency of prefabrication improve, it is becoming more common. But, why is BIM proving to be a catalyst for prefabrication? • By generating 3D models, BIM makes projects easier to visualize. Accurate data about building materials and the design of the construction project (thanks to BIM) helps improve coordination of production. In addition to that, BIM usage is helping to close the productivity gap in prefabrication. By the year 2023, modular construction is expected to grow by 6%.
5 Ways Prefabrication can help your Construction Project • Shorter Construction Duration • Enhanced Quality Checks • A Cost-Effective Practice • Sustainable Construction Practice • Better Safety
Shorter Construction Duration • This sort of modular construction project is considerably faster than traditional construction. • According to a major study, a modular building can be erected up to 50 percent faster than conventional construction, allowing a project to go from inception to completion swiftly and without difficulty, achieving a rapid return on investment. • This is a result of improved up-front planning, avoidance of on-site climatic variables, subcontractor planning and scheduling delays, and the concurrent construction of many sections. • Rather than focusing all of their attention and resources on one or a few projects, construction firms are able to take on numerous projects at once which allows their business to grow and expand.
Enhanced Quality Checks • Since modular construction happens in a supervised manufacturing setting and adheres to predetermined standards, the structure’s subassemblies will be of uniform quality. • The construction of structures built on-site is reliant on differing skill levels and schedules of third-party contractors. All of these things influence the craftsmanship and quality of a construction. • With prefabrication, each subassembly is constructed by a trained staff in a climate-controlled/weather-resistant factory, followed by rigorous quality checks. • Certain building components are produced utilizing precise machine technology to ensure code compliance which means your construction project will adhere to the highest quality standards.
A Cost-Effective Practice • Cost benefits would be one of the main advantages of prefabricated building. • Despite the impression that custom-made products and/or solutions are expensive, With prefabricated construction, the overall costs are relatively low. Modular construction accommodates various budgets and pricing ranges, resulting in a cost-effective choice. • Frequently, prefabrication manufacturers gain bulk savings from material suppliers, which trickle down to the construction project’s final price. Additionally, modular design eliminates the danger of unreliable contractors and inefficient employees. In addition, the reduction in construction duration can substantially reduce construction financing expenses.
Sustainable Construction Practice • Modular construction projects are frequently praised for their sustainability and energy efficiency capabilities. Traditional building techniques necessitate additional materials, which generate waste. • Conversely, because prefabricated subassemblies are manufactured in a factory (controlled environment), excess materials can be recycled on-site. This is a significant improvement over transferring waste from regular building sites directly to landfills.
Sustainable Construction Practice • In addition, the regulated environment of a factory enables more precise construction, tighter joints, and improved air filtering, which in turn enables improved wall insulation and improvements in energy efficiency. • According to a number of studies, the environmental benefits of certain prefabricated components can range from 20 to 60 percent when compared to a conventional construction of the same type (when a variety of life cycles are examined)
Better Safety • The safety and security of the employees, laborers, and others in the vicinity of the site is one of the most significant worries people have about the on-site construction process. There are numerous things that could go wrong, putting people’s lives at risk. In addition to on-site dangers, people are exposed to weather hazards. • With prefabricated construction, a substantial portion of the work is performed in a factory environment, which considerably minimizes the danger of on-site accidents.
Conclusion • Throughout the construction phase, workers adhere to stringent safety regulations and protocols. This substantially minimizes the likelihood of workplace accidents, injuries, and liabilities. Moreover, in the post-pandemic environment of the twenty-first century, off-site building means that there are few workers on the site, maintaining social distance and safety for all. • As the manufacturing sector grows globally, we are starting to realize that new solutions in the AEC industry may accomplish so much more.
