Prefabricated Structures - Towards a Sustainable Future
Traditional construction methods are characterized by their time-consuming nature and high consumption of raw materials, resulting in increased costs compared to modern techniques. As the construction industry changes to match new age requirements, it is embracing prefab construction methods on a mass scale.
Prefab construction is booming both in residential and commercial spheres. It offers speed and has the ability to cater to large volumes of construction in a short span of time. Construction of prefabricated houses is also opening up newer opportunities for prefab construction beyond its current usage mostly in the commercial market.
What makes prefab future ready?
The advantages provided by prefab structures position them as an ideal construction solution. BNAL has been at the forefront of providing customized prefabricated solutions to clients across various industries that offer the following benefits:
Cost-effectiveness
In traditional construction, time, labor, and materials are the most significant cost factors. Conversely, prefabricated construction offers substantial savings in these areas. With customized components, precise manufacturing, meticulous planning, and continuous supervision, prefab projects can be completed much more efficiently and expeditiously. As a result, they are less susceptible to wastage caused by weather changes, labor shortages, and other environmental factors.
Timeliness
As prefabricated components help make buildings less dependent on environmental factors, they can be completed well within the stipulated time. In traditional construction process, one stage of construction is completed before the second one is undertaken. With prefab construction, different components can be manufactured at the same time and this speeds up the process of construction greatly, helping reduce the time taken by almost 50%.
Insulation & energy efficiency
One of the biggest benefits of prefab construction is that it reduces energy consumption by up to 67% according to some estimates. This is because they can incorporate materials such as solar panels, geothermal solutions and other green features into their components. The material used to manufacture these components is also insulating, thereby reducing energy needs.
Quality
Because of the precise nature of the manufacture of prefab components, they enable very high quality of production and design. These components are a part of a well-planned process in which everything from design to measurement is executed using high-quality material in a quality – controlled environment.
Environment friendliness
Less dependence on natural resources such as wood, soil, rocks etc. makes prefab construction materials a preferable green choice. Also, as the components are constructed offsite, environmental emissions are greatly reduced. Customized and precise measurements help reduce wastage of raw materials. In case of steel pre-fabrications, the structure is 100% salvageable and recyclable.
These innovations in technology for prefabricated building construction are ready to put India on the global map. BNAL leads the way in manufacturing and innovating prefab technologies aimed at fostering sustainable construction practices for the future.
