Most of us in some point of time have opted for ready-to-assemble furniture. So, how does it work?

When you get knock-down furniture delivered to your house; you are provided with separate components and instructions on how to assemble them. With some tools, screws, and nuts, you can assemble all parts and build up the desired piece. Its lot easy and fun to get it done! Isn’t it?

Cut to pre-fabricated homes.

Similar construction tenet is used here. Closely associated with offsite and modular construction, prefabrication has been a buzzworthy trend in construction industry. There are different types of pre-fabricated materials used to build homes and offices. Prominent ones include weather resistant and termite –proof boards.

To gain ground in smart home market, some big brands too have jumped into the bandwagon of pre-fabrication. The coming up of major players in pre-fabrication points toward a future in which reasonable and easy solutions for living spaces, commercial buildings and office buildings will be abound.

How prefabrication works?

Prefabrication is a strategy or practice of using a variety of structural components that are made off-site in a factory and transported & put together on-site to create a structure.

Because different parts are duplicated so often, it’s easier and more cost-effective to manufacture plenty of them at once, rather than build them as needed on-site. Moreover, since they are manufactured at specifically designed facilities and are transported in bulk, economies of scale yield benefits that finally trickle down to the builders and owners of the property.

In today’s competitive age, time too plays an important role. It’s no secret that buyers and builders both stress on timely delivery. With pre-fabricated materials, both parties tend to gain on this aspect too. For builders, this means faster completion of projects and for buyers, it means faster investment in property and in case of renting – faster ROI.

 

Prefabrication – Gaining traction for Reasons

There are several good reasons for the growing popularity of pre-fabricated construction. Let’s explore some of them.

• Prefab homes can be custom made:

  If you thought resorting to prefabricated route meant sticking with a limited range of choices, you are mistaken. Depending on the firm, you can have much of the same control over design choices that you would get in a custom stick build. For instance, EcoPro offers a wide range of top-quality pre-fabricated building sheets that are perfect for creating a customized home as per your requirements. Be it exterior cladding or false ceiling for hall, with EcoPro you can transform your dream home plan into reality!

• A prefab home makes decision-making less stressful

  . When it comes to traditional brick and mortar style of construction, homeowners can be overwhelmed by the availability of larger choice sets. Alternatively, prefab helps limit choices and guides you to make a more precise and confident decision. Anyone who’s lived through custom build can testify to the fact that the number of decisions required to make it only adds up to the confusions and regrets.

• Prefab saves time:

  Prefab construction takes about half the time of a traditionally built home. Since prefabricated homes are partially assembled in a factory offsite, preparatory works like laying a foundation can go on simultaneously, thereby shaving a good deal of time off the schedule.

• Offers benefits of predictable cost and schedule:

  As most parts of the prefab home is built in the factory, all the decisions are taken prior to the construction process. This allows the factory to provide a fixed bid and prevents the project from scope-cost creep which is quite common with traditionally built homes. 

Obstructions caused due to weather impacts and whims & fancies of the subcontractor can be curtailed considerably. Pre-fab constructions built in a controlled environment and with predictable labor force builds ground for predictable end date. Now that’s a big relief!

 

 

Besides all these, the point that’s worth mentioning is its impact on environment. Prefabricated homes emerge as an excellent environmentally friendly option. Prefabricated-home factories create far less waste than the typical construction site. They are often able to reuse extra materials in future projects. Some prefab design-build firms even go a step further by using recycled and renewable materials.

Why investing in prefab EcoPro panels is a wise decision?

Since Fibre cement boards can get 15-20% more expensive than the traditional ones, you might think about its cost-effectiveness. Practically when given a proper look to the overall spending and the final result you will realize the real worth. Using ready-made panels streamlines the construction process.
