What is a prefab building?

Prefab buildings are the buildings where various parts of the building are manufactured in a factory and then are assembled together at the desired place to form a complete building.
Benefits of a Prefab Building over On site Constructed Buildings
  • Speedy Construction
The construction procedure of prefab buildings takes lesser time than that of a brick and mortar construction approach. This is because, the parts are already manufactured with proper measurements, hence these parts are assembled within a small time frame.
  • Lower Labor Cost
As there is not complicated construction needed in case of prefab buildings, the labor cost is lower compared to the on site constructed buildings.
  • Eco friendliness
Due to the lesser usage of construction materials, equipments and other sources affecting the environment, prefabs are considered as Eco friendly housing alternatives.
  • Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency is one of the most applauded benefits of the prefab buildings. There is a less wastage of materials in the case of prefabs as these are partly built at the factory and hence the extra materials get recycled.
  • Quality Control
As these prefab buildings are constructed according to specific standards in a controlled environment, hence the uniform quality is guaranteed. Also, these buildings are inspected a number of times while under construction in the factory by experienced crew. So if you are planning for a new home or office or any commercial building, go for the environment friendly, cost effective, energy efficient and well crafted prefab buildings.
