Study Notes
Prefabrication in Building Construction
- Prefabrication refers to the practice of assembling components or entire buildings in a factory, and then transporting them to the construction site for assembly.
Goals and Benefits of Prefabrication
- The primary goal of using prefabricated concrete elements in building construction is to increase efficiency, reduce construction time, and improve quality.
- Prefabrication is mostly used in high-rise buildings, residential buildings, and large-scale infrastructure projects.
Comparison with Conventional Construction
- The main difference between prefabrication and conventional construction practice is that prefabrication involves assembling components in a factory, whereas conventional construction involves assembling components on-site.
Purpose of Prefabrication
- The purpose of prefabrication in building construction is to enhance the speed, quality, and sustainability of the construction process, while also reducing costs and minimizing waste.
