Engineered for Manufacturing:
Prefabrication takes place in a controlled environment optimized for manufacturing and design & construction processes. Fabrication is more tightly integrated to capture efficiencies and offer quality assurance controls. Conventional construction depends on varying schedules and skill levels of independent contractors that could result in poor craftsmanship and quality.
The optimization of the prefabrication process may cut material loss caused by errors and accidental damage by 50% compared to traditional construction. Implementation of lean production principles also offers better inventory control while leftover materials are reused or recycled rather than sent to landfills or requiring the processing of additional virgin materials.
​
Consistency of factory production results in tighter joints and better air filtration to offer improved wall insulation and energy efficiency increases.
Engineered for Transport:
Dense urban areas, regions with short build seasons, and remote sites pose unique issues for traditional construction like transporting materials, constricted sites, and crew accessibility. The engineering of prefabricated building components by incorporating shipping practices ensures prudent and efficient transportation that offers easier site access, shipping and fuel cost savings, and pollution prevention.
Engineered for Assembly:
Engineered for building assembly ensures a faster and safer environment for workers and the community. Fabricating the building components offsite reduces site crews and traffic during installation resulting in fewer injuries, emissions, and environmental pollutants.
A comprehensive installation guide along with onsite governance, and an extensive, qualified network of skilled general contractors ensures your building is assembled correctly and free of defects.
