Construction industry is one of the oldest industries, which has gone through several changes over the years. Today we have several construction methods and each construction method uses different technology and has its own benefits. From the past few years, the concept of prefabrication is gaining prominence in India. It is one of the latest construction methods that is penetrating into the Indian construction market.

With the penetration of prefabricated construction, it is expected that it will pave the way to innovative and customized building designs of constructions like villas, high rise and low rise buildings, mass townships, etc.

Prefabricated Construction Process

The process of construction of buildings differs completely from conventional construction methods. In conventional construction methods, the raw materials will be brought to the construction site and then the construction of the building or house will begin.

In contrast to that in prefabricated construction, the structures of the building or houses are manufactured offsite, usually in the factories. Then the manufactured structural components will be transported to the actual site to assemble.

Prefabricated construction includes a wide range of structural components. Some of the components are like manufactured windows, rooftop and trusses, staircases, etc. In this type of construction, only the foundation is constructed on site, all the components are manufactured offsite, transported, and bolted together on site.

Prefabricated Construction in India

In India, the prefabrication construction was pioneered by Hindustan Housing Factory, presently it is known as Hindustan Prefab Limited (HPL). HPL was established in 1948 as a department under the administrative control of the Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs. The main purpose behind the establishment of HPL is to meet the need of housing to the people, who are migrated from Pakistan. Later it built a wide range of civil construction using prefabricated construction methods.

In the present scenario, in India, the prominence of prefabricated houses and buildings is growing. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of approximately 8.9% between the years 2021-2026. According to the present market statistics, India is little slow in incorporating prefabricated construction methods into the real estate. But the good news is that, it is expected that the growth of prefab technology is inevitable in the coming years.

With the increase in the technology and change in the thinking of people, they slowly started knowing the benefits of prefab construction. As people start to consider prefab construction, it is expected to be required of more plants and manufacturing units to meet the demand of prefabricated construction in the future. We can also say that India would be the third largest construction market in the world by the end of the year 2025.

Benefits of Prefabricated Construction

Prefabricated construction offers a lot of benefits, let’s see some of the top benefits of prefabricated construction.

• Eco-Friendly Construction

Prefab construction can be commended for energy efficiency and sustainability. Since the entire manufacturing of structural components will be done off site in the factory, the chances of disturbance of the environment on site will be very less. Also, there will not be any waste material left behind on site. The extra material left after the manufacturing can be recycled and used for other purposes. This makes prefab construction as one of the best and eco-friendly construction methods.

• Flexibility
  One of the best advantages of prefabricated construction is that it can be easily disassembled and relocated to other sites. This is very useful for construction companies and hospitals. Generally, prefabricated cabins can be used as an office at large construction sites and also for labor accommodation. Prefabricated hospitals can be used to install medical camps in any location, because they can be moved easily anywhere.
• Short Construction Time & Cost-Efficient

Prefabricated construction takes less time than conventional construction. It is because of the elimination of garnering raw materials and working on construction on site. Since, all the structures are manufactured in the factory offsite, they can be easily transported and assembled.

Compared to the conventional construction method, prefabricated construction costs very less. So, it is one of the best ways to construct houses within your budget.

These are the top 3 benefits of prefabrication construction, which increase the demand for prefab houses and other reliable constructions.
