What is the difference between pre-fab construction and traditional construction in terms of building component fabrication?

<p>In pre-fab construction, building components are pre-fabricated in yards and brought to the construction site for installation, while in traditional construction, all components are casted at the construction site.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Why are pre-fab constructions faster to complete compared to traditional construction?

<p>Pre-fab constructions are faster to complete because many components are casted together in advance and installed at the site without delay.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

SQL and Databases

  • SQL is primarily used for managing and manipulating structured data within relational databases.
  • Structured data in SQL is organized into tables, which consist of rows and columns, allowing for efficient querying and relationships between data entities.
  • An example of unstructured data includes text files, images, videos, or social media posts, which do not follow a predefined data model.

Purpose of a Database

  • The primary purpose of a database is to store, retrieve, and manage data efficiently, providing a systematic way to keep and access information.

RDBMS

  • RDBMS stands for Relational Database Management System, which utilizes a relational model to manage data.

Prefabrication in Construction

  • The primary purpose of prefabrication is to improve efficiency and reduce construction times by manufacturing components off-site before assembly at the final location.
  • Examples of prefabricated units include walls, floors, and complete bathroom modules that can be installed quickly on-site.

History of Prefabrication

  • The modern sense of prefabrication dates back to the early 20th century, where industrialization began influencing construction methods.

Pre-fab vs. Traditional Construction

  • Pre-fab construction differs from traditional construction in that building components are manufactured in a factory setting, allowing for greater control and quality assurance before they are assembled on-site.
  • Prefab constructions are faster to complete than traditional construction methods due to streamlined production processes and reduced on-site labor time, leading to quicker project turnaround.
