Advantages of

prefabricated construction
1. Durability of materials
• From pre-cast concrete panels to light-gauge steel frames, the materials commonly
used for prefabrication are often exceptionally strong, built to endure long-
distance transit to the site. They avoid issues commonly found with more
traditional materials
2. Construction is far faster
• When a project involves slotting pre-manufactured cassettes together or covering a
pre-assembled frame, construction times may be halved compared to traditional
building processes.
3. There are fewer ambient risk factors
• In challenging European climates, off-site manufacturing of construction materials
reduces the risk of on-site delays due to bad weather or other environmental
factors. Every component is made in climate-controlled conditions to identical
standards, avoiding moisture or anything which might shorten a component’s
lifespan.
4. Quality can be controlled prior to construction
• The manufacturing process ensures prefabricated components can be individually
checked for quality standards prior to dispatch. Relevant safety regulations can
also be verified before construction starts,
5. There is less risk of on-site accidents
• Manufacturing construction components in a specialist warehouse reduces the
amount of work required on-site. That means fewer people doing less work in less
time amid the bustle of truck deliveries, moving crane arms, and other potential
threats.
6. It benefits the environment
• Modern prefabrication materials tend to use either eco-friendly or recycled matter
—or both. This might take advantage of seasonal or locally available timber, or
allow one material to be swapped for another as new manufacturing techniques
reduce the overall ecological footprint.
7. It simplifies construction processes and timelines
• You might need fewer managers overseeing on-site construction
teams, or less specialist training compared to stonemasonry.
8. Costs are lower
• From fewer on-site workers to construction projects in remote
locations, prefabrication can slash total costs.
