Prefabrication

Design for Manufacturing

Our in-house prefabrication process is an approach to assembling electrical components or systems off-site in a controlled environment before transporting and installing them at the construction site.

Benefits include:

  • Efficiency and Time Savings: Prefabrication allows for the simultaneous construction of various electrical components at the factory while on-site work progresses. This parallel workflow can significantly reduce the overall project timeline, leading to quicker project completion and potentially earlier occupancy of the building.
  • Quality Control: Fabricating electrical components in a controlled environment allows for better quality control. Workers can focus on precision and accuracy without the challenges posed by variable on-site conditions. This can lead to higher-quality installations and reduced rework, or corrections needed during the construction phase.
  • Cost Savings: While the initial investment in prefabrication processes and facilities might be significant, the overall cost savings can be substantial. Efficient production, reduced labor hours, and minimized material waste contribute to lower project costs in the long run.
  • Safety Improvements: The controlled environment of a manufacturing facility also minimizes exposure to adverse weather conditions and other on-site hazards.
  • Consistent Standards: Prefabrication ensures that electrical components are built to consistent standards and specifications.
  • Customization and Standardization: Prefabrication allows for the customization of electrical components to meet specific project requirements. At the same time, standardized processes can be implemented for common components, promoting efficiency and repeatability across different projects.
  • Logistical Efficiency: Prefabricated components are typically transported to the construction site when needed, reducing the need for on-site storage of large quantities of materials. This can lead to more efficient logistics and better use of available space at the construction site.
  • Enhanced Collaboration: Prefabrication often involves close collaboration between different trades, such as electrical, mechanical, and plumbing. This collaborative approach can result in better-coordinated installations and fewer conflicts during the construction phase.
  • Adaptability to Off-Site Construction Trends: With the increasing popularity of off-site or modular construction, prefabrication aligns well with these trends. Electrical components can be integrated into modular building systems, allowing for faster and more streamlined construction processes.

Prefab brings advantages in terms of efficiency, quality control, cost savings, safety, and adaptability to modern construction practices. As technology continues to advance, our prefabrication methods will grow with the industry.
