Why Prefab Construction is World’s Most Preferred?

Globally prefabricated construction is the most preferred choice for millions of customers across industries for a varied range of applications. However in countries like India the idea of prefabricated construction is now gaining massive speed and many people simply realized the value of 60% of timesaving in construction due to Cold-Formed Steel Framed Buildings, during the Covid-19 lockdown.


What is needed in India & neighbouring countries is dedicated effort to spread fundamental awareness of prefabricated construction technology using Cold-Formed Steel and transform businesses with these highly advanced and efficient solutions. Over the years the demand for pre engineered structures have grown drastically as customers are getting quick and better ROI on their infrastructure.


The advantages and possibilities with prefabricated constructions are enormous. Some of them are as follows:


Less Time: Project delivery time is one of the most crucial factors determining satisfaction and ROI. The traditional constructions face a number of uncertainties and are highly dependent on many external factors. In India only around 63% projects are delivered on time. But with the inherent flexibilities pre fabricated off site constructions are up to 60% faster.


Reduced Cost: For a customer looking forward to infrastructure investments cost of the project is mostly the primary concern. For businesses the cost of infrastructure is critical and traditional Concrete (RCC-Brick-Mortar) construction is a really costly proposition. The prefabricated construction provides unparalleled cost reduction when compared to the traditional method, when you look at the full life cycle of buildings. Also due to superior quality and reduced time to delivery add to the savings. So overall the setup cost and lifetime cost both are significantly less. This directly results into improved
ROI and greater access to infrastructure development for the clients.


Superior Quality: Prefabricated CFS / LGSF / LGFS / Hybrid (CFS+MS) Buildings use steel of very high grade and all finishing products are high quality in compliance to international standards.

Also standardizations in material and process the quality of the installation must be highly reliable and consistent.

Only an interior design company experienced in Cold-Formed Steel Framed Buildings construction can achieve such high quality finishing of Steel Buildings, since it is not just the steel skeleton structure that the customer purchases, but the finishing of these structures is of prime importance. Hence customers & building owners must make a careful choice of which company to choose for constructing their buildings, as its a huge investment of their hard-earned money.


When this is compared to traditional construction, the quality of Brick-Mortar Buildings is largely inconsistent from site to site depending on numerous external factors.


Higher Flexibility: In today’s business context where goals changes depending on the future trends convenience to transform the application of infrastructure comes as bliss. The prefabricated steel framed construction is highly flexible in terms of designs, extensions, modifications and more. With wider range of cladding, roofing and glazing options makes them even more flexible.


More Options: Aesthetically also pre fabricated construction provide greater satisfaction. The options in modular designs and colours are innumerable. Also with our path breaking eco friendly materials suits to a varied design themes.


Innovative: Prefabricated engineering itself was a giant innovation in the field of Construction. Every aspect of it involves latest technical innovations. With newer and better products, innovative designs, cutting edge assimilation, off site construction, green products there is no end to innovation in prefabricated engineering.


Better ROI: From the point of Returns-On-Investment (ROI), prefabricated cold-formed steel construction offers unbeatable edge. Throughout the project life from the cost, quick turn around and over the life cost the ROI is unparalleled. This strategic advantage has acted as the primary reason for the global business preference towards prefabricated steel building technology.


Unmatched safety: Due to the innovations in product, design, construction process and quality standards, the site safety is unmatched in the industry. With result oriented process innovation the site safety level is increased in prefab steel construction up to 46% compared to traditional construction.


Minimal Site Disruption: As technically the building is manufactured in highly controlled factory conditions,site disruptions are unbelievably lower in case of prefabricated steel framed buildings. This has direct impact on the productivity and especially advantageous in cases of sites with restricted spaces and remote locations. Also due to minimal vehicle movement up to 90% lesser your existing operations also do not suffer due to the construction work and site remains cleaner than you expect.


Ultimate Durability: Superior product quality and innovative construction process make the prefabricated infrastructures highly durable and adds to the operational life.


Lesser Maintenance: Prefabricated steel buildings require lesser maintenance which adds to your savings in the life time cost of the infrastructure. Also with the inbuilt flexibilities, super-fast speed of repairs and relocation & reconstruction benefits, they can be easily and cost effectively modified with changing business needs.


Less Wastage: The superior technology of manufacturing and offsite assembly process produces minimal wastage which is less than 90% compared to site based constructions. This in turn contributes towards cost effectiveness and less worries of waste management traditionally attached to the construction.


Greater sustainability: Sustainable, eco-friendly business solutions are the fastest growing demand for customers across the construction & infrastructure industry. With the rising awareness of environmental conservation, carbon footprint of business operation and increasing efficiency with greener solutions the prefabricated construction is poised to become a forerunner in the construction segment. It has multidimensional sustainability edge over traditional process. The benefits range from improved thermal performance, greener designs, energy efficient solutions, maximum potential to utilize natural light and air in the infrastructure, less wastage which also provides significant saving over the lifetime of the project.


Higher Satisfaction: Companies in India must change their psychology and endeavour to put customers as our first priority rather than their rush to make more & more profits while ignoring the budgets & preferences of the customers. Prefab Construction companies must make the association much more than a satisfying experience for the Customers. To strengthen the relationship with our clients, a responsive customer relation system is needed, which enables them to partner with the customers in their long term business goals. New benchmarks are needed in customer service, post sale services, operational transparencies, client engagement and support services which are critical to customer satisfaction.


So an array of prefabrication benefits of Cold-Formed Steel Framed Buildings when come bundled with high-quality Interiors finishing which only an interior design company can achieve, coupled with an unmatched service, makes the decision for the Customers to go ahead with Prefab Construction much easier.

Environment-Friendly Buildings are an Immediate Need for the World

“We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.” When Ralph Waldo Emerson phrased these lines, he might have foreseen the current predicaments of the world in advance.

Global warming has been sitting on top of the global agenda for a long time. Despite that, the situation has only worsened. According to a NASA report, we have already experienced 16 out of 17 warmest years since 2001. And if we don’t do something soon, we may not be in a position to return the world we borrowed from our future generations.

What can help?

The World Bank, in one of his articles titled “Fighting climate change with green infrastructure”, said, “With acute effects of global warming already being felt, further resilience against climate change is needed.” Adding further, the article emphasizes on the need for the need for green infrastructure to meet both mitigation and adaptation objectives.

Green Buildings are the need of the hour!

Traditional buildings consume a huge amount of energy to operate, contributing immensely to GHG emissions. Besides that, the construction of traditional spaces generates massive waste which disturbs the soil and topography of the area; leading to severe energy consumption along with toxic waste.

  • The entire building sector has the potential to boost the energy-saving quotient to 50% or more by 2050. UNEP, 2016.
  • At a global level, green buildings energy efficiency measures can help save up to €280 to €410 billion from energy spending European Commission, 2015.

The global shift to green infrastructure will help reduce the environmental impact of buildings over their entire lifespan, by targeting water-saving and energy-efficient initiatives such as smart meters and LED lighting.

The need for Greener & Sustainable infrastructure in India.

Buildings in India account for 40% of total energy consumption. With rapid urbanization, the energy consumption in residential real estate projects will increase to more than 60%. This will not only add to the burden on natural resources, but also add to the rising concern for global warming.

Why Green Buildings? 

  • Green Buildings are Nature Friendly: They consume less water, energy or natural resources, minimizing the negative impacts on nature. Buildings approved in the past by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) have shown a tremendous 40 – 50% increase in energy, and 20 – 30% in water savings compared to traditional buildings.
  • Large-scale adoption can lead to a positive impact on nature: As seen in many cases, the adoption of green infrastructure on a city or state can impact nature positively by generating its own energy.
  • Green buildings cut down on greenhouse gas emission: Green building significantly cut down on greenhouse gas emission. As per a report, the emission reduction can be as much as 84 gigatonnes of CO2 (GtCO2) by 2050. UNEP, 2009.

India is in a dire need for green and more sustainable buildings. And from the results achieved in the past, it can be said that a nation-wide adoption of green infrastructure can help the country mitigate the production of GHG emissions and make it more resilient against the effects of climate change.
