Prefabrication involves assembling building components off-site and transporting them to the construction location. It aims to increase construction speed using locally available materials. Some benefits are a protected production environment, lower costs, less traffic disruption, and increased safety. Common prefabricated components include floors, roofs, beams, columns, walls, and staircases, which are made from materials like concrete, steel, wood, and aluminum. Careful handling is needed during transportation and installation to avoid damage.

3. PREFABRICATION: MEANING
AND DEFINITION
Prefabrication is the practice of
assembling components of a structure in
other manufacturing sites, and
transporting complete assembled
structures to the construction site.

4. AIMS OF PREFABRICATION
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
Ceramic products, etc

7. COMPONENTS OF
PREFABRICATION
Flooring and roofing
Beams
columns
Walls
Staircase

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
cranes .
