Introduction

Prefabricated structures, often referred to as prefab structures, represent a transformative shift in the way buildings are designed, constructed, and delivered. By moving much of the construction process away from the actual building site and into a factory setting, prefab construction offers numerous benefits over traditional methods, including faster project timelines, better quality control, reduced labor costs, and improved sustainability.

Key Characteristics

• Off-site Manufacturing: Components like walls, roofs, floors, and entire modules are built off-site.
• On-site Assembly: Once delivered, the prefabricated elements are quickly assembled on-site.
• Standardization with Flexibility: Designs are often standardized for efficiency, but customization is also possible.
• Faster Construction Time: Since parts are built in parallel with site preparation, construction can be completed much faster.

Applications of Prefabricated Structures

• Residential Buildings: Prefab homes, villas, and apartments.
• Commercial Spaces: Offices, hotels, retail stores.
• Healthcare: Prefabricated hospitals, clinics, and labs.
• Education: Schools and classrooms.
• Industrial Use: Warehouses, factories, and storage facilities.

• Emergency Shelters: Quick-deploy units for disaster relief and military use.
