What Are Prefabricated Buildings and Why Are They Gaining Popularity?

1. What Are Prefabricated Buildings and Why Are They Gaining Popularity?

2. Introduction Have you been in construction lately? So, are you wondering what are prefabricated buildings? Are they better than your traditional form of construction? Should you go for a modular house now that everything is becoming so contemporary? It has been estimated that about 10% of Australian homes will be prefabricated constructions by 2023. These are literally a game-changer in the construction industry, not just because they look sleek and pleasing, but because they are fast, efficient, durable, and eco-friendly. Whether you are thinking of building a home, a government building, a hospital or even a school, prefab has become the ultimate sustainable building material solution. People still assume that prefab homes mean boring matchbox houses; those days are gone. Prefabricated homes are a modern housing solution now, which are architectural marvels, combining style with substance and speed with quality. In this presentation, we will walk you through everything you need to know about prefab— fromwhat are prefabricated buildingsto why they are even in the market.

3. What are Prefabricated Buildings? Your Construction Crash Course Breaking down the basics of construction for you- What are prefabricated buildings? Prefabricated buildings, commonly referred to as “prefab”, are buildings that are manufactured externally off the construction site in a controlled factory environment, and then they are taken to the site for assembling it together. The whole process of assembling pre-manufactured components, along with transportation and creation, is known as prefabrication. Unlike the traditional method, where the process happens on-site step by step, prefabricated construction breaks that process into pieces and allows multiple points of the process to happen at the same time. The level of prefabrication can vary from complete volumetric modules to panelised systems or structural components like walls, floors, and roofs. These prefabricated buildings are typically seen as residential homes (single and multi-units), commercial spaces like offices and malls, institutional buildings, and industrial buildings like warehouses, and are often used for disaster relief shelters.

4. Why are Prefabricated Constructions getting so popular? Let’s unpack some benefits of prefab homes. Cost-effective Construction • Prefabricated construction is cheap for the most part. The entire process happens simultaneously, which significantly reduces the labour costs, plus you build prefab from mass-produced components, which also reduces the price of buying supplies as they are done in bulk. • The resale value of prefabricated modular buildings is great, so in the long run, it can be very beneficial. Besides, these are very sturdy and durable, reducing their maintenance costs.

5. Sustainable Building Material • Prefab is extremely eco-friendly. The biggest benefit of prefabricated buildings is that they support sustainable practices. • The components are mass-produced and used in precise measurements; there is controlled waste management. Factories can also reuse off-cuts and implement efficient energy practices. • These prefabs also support features like energy-saving insulation methods, solar panels, etc. In comparison to conventional construction, people lean towards prefab if they are environmentally conscious.

6. Extreme Design Flexibility • Modern prefabricated architecture allows for extreme design versatility. The myth that these are just boring box-shaped houses is very old. • Modern technologies allow for customisable floor plans, finishes, and facades that reflect any style, from contemporary to minimalist. Time Efficient • The most attractive benefit of prefabricated buildings is that they significantly reduce the construction time taken. The components are factory-produced which leads to the completion of project atleast 50% faster. • Across the globe, there is a housing crisis; with such benefits, prefab has become a popular choice across multiple industries.
