A new construction method known as prefabrication has taken hold in the developed world. However, more in-depth investigation reveals that prefabrication has been around for hundreds of years.
Were you aware of it?
A fishing fleet in Massachusetts in the 17th century imported panelled wood houses from England, which were then disassembled and reassembled numerous times.
A London carpenter in the 19th century built a portable home that could be shipped to Australia.
So the idea of building off-site and assembling on-site has been around for a long time. Offsite construction can also be seen in a number of prestigious European projects.
In today’s world, prefabrication and pre-engineering are widely accepted. In recent years, India’s industrial sector has gained widespread acceptance. The government and public sector enterprises (PSUs) are also embracing this new technology. Prefabrication has become increasingly popular around the world for a variety of reasons, including its speedy construction and environmental friendliness.
The global prefabricated building market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5% over the next two years, with an estimated market value of $135,945.6 million. Slowly, but surely, the traditional construction industry is undergoing a transformation. While container homes are extremely popular in some countries, prefabrication is currently the most popular construction method in industrial and commercial settings.
Prefabrication has become a popular choice for many people for a variety of reasons, including: As the world’s population grows, so does the demand for short-term housing.
Due to an increase in disposable income, there has been an increase in renovation and new construction.
The need for a construction method that is environmentally friendly in order to minimise waste. However, there is a common belief that with off-site construction, the ability to make changes and alterations decreases. Prefabrication, on the other hand, is unique in that variables such as dimensions, load capacity, and structural strength are predetermined. After a detailed blueprint of the building is completed, construction can begin.
There is a rising trend in modular prefabricated construction
According to experts, warehouses, manufacturing, commercial, educational, and healthcare facilities are expected to see the most growth in construction over the next few years. Prefabrication’s main selling point is speed of construction. Modular prefabrication is experiencing unprecedented growth in the industry, despite ongoing efforts to innovate and make it more environmentally sustainable than traditional construction.
