How Prefabricated Buildings Have Evolved Over the Decades

by EPACK Prefab Best-Prefabricated Structure Manufacturer in India

It is sure an undeniable statement that the construction industry has lacked in intention as well as pace for adoption of new technologies and the traditional methodologies of building development are still observed on a large scale. However, with the rising demands of swift infrastructural development across all sectors and owing to the budget preferences, there is an essential requisite to adopt newer technologies that help save cost as well as times associated with the same.

In the current times, we find “ready-to-use” products being highly preferred as these are mass-produced to ensure lower costs and swift avail. Likewise, in the construction sector, prefabrication technology follows a factory fabrication method of constructing buildings and ensures best quality at low costs when compared to conventionally developed enclosures.

The evolution of prefabricated buildings

Change arises from necessity and every major innovation has resulted from our endeavors to enable better convenience, safety and aesthetics. For the construction industry, the development of prefab multi-story building structures has resulted in a wave of progress across major cities that helps boost development on a large scale.

Classic prefabricated building structures

Prefabrication might seem to be a new technology as today it involves sophisticated automation and advanced quality control. However, the technology is quite primitive as the old simple wooden houses that were developed are actually modular in nature and developed by alternate methods. In the early 70s, such building enclosures were available at unbeatable prices and although they were not as advanced as the prefab structures of today, they had unmatched longevity, durability and were easy to develop as well.

With adoption of traditional methodologies, classic prefabrication projects however were not used on a large scale and their utilization remained specific to certain applications majorly for offsite office and portable enclosures or cabins development.

The prefabricated buildings of today

With advancements in material technology and streamlining of cutting-edge production processes, it becomes possible to develop prefabricated building structures that surpass the known standards of quality, efficiency, durability as well as cost effectiveness.

Even though modern-age prefabricated and pre-engineered building structures are meticulously designed and fabricated from high quality materials, they still enable on average about 40% cost savings when compared to buildings developed by conventional methods. This technology is associated with high quality, better swiftness, advanced planning as well as unparalleled sustainability making it an optimum solution to suffice all types of infrastructure development demands.

EPACK Prefab manufactures a wide range of prefabricated enclosures such as the pre engineered multi storey office structures that have become a go-to approach for expansion of existing office facilities as well as for establishment of new infrastructure.
