Increase speed of construction
Use of locally available materials with
required characteristics like light
weight, easy workability, thermal
insulation, non combustibility, etc.
Independence of climatic conditions

5. Protected and controlled production
environment
Lower production costs and other
savings
Disruption of traffic is avoided
Ensures high degree safety

6. MATERIALS TO BE USED
Concrete
Steel
Treated wood
Aluminum
Light weight concrete elements

columns
Walls
Staircase

8. PREFABRICATION OF FLOORS

9. PREFABRICATION OF ROOFS

10. PREFABRICATION OF BEAMS

11. PREFABRICATION OF COLUMNS

12. PREFABRICATION OF WALLS

13. PREFABRICATION OF
STAIRCASE

14. ADVANTAGES OF PREFABRICATION
High quality product
Labor related savings
Savings in time
Overall efficiency increases
Mass production is easier and quick
Damage due to earth quake is less

15. DISADVANTAGES
Careful handling of concrete panels or
glass panels is required.
Leaks can form at joints
Transportation may cost more than the
material itself
 large sections require heavy duty
