Prefabrication


Prefabrication Structures

Definition:

Prefabrication is the practice of assembling the components of a structure in a factory or manufacturing site and transporting complete assembly to the construction site where the structure is to be located. It is the new technique and is desirable for large scale housing practices.

Principle of Prefabrication:

1.       To improve quality of work, as it is manufactured under improved and controlled conditions
2.       To speed up the construction, since no curing is necessary
3.       To achieve a good quality of construction with minimal cost
4.       To use materials which possess innate characteristics such as light weight, sound insulation, thermal conductivity etc…,
5.       To use locally available materials with required characteristics
6.       Use of reusable materials in construction
7.       Design for flexibility and adaptability
8.       Simplify and standardize building systems
9.       To provide safety working platform during deconstruction
10.   To minimize complexities in building design
