Creating Prefabricated MEP Modules in Construction
With so many advancements in construction, prefabrication has proven capabilities to provide contractors and construction companies with high-impact benefits. Some of the benefits include quick project execution, cost reduction, better adaptability, lower site disruption, and more. Since the prefabricated modules are prepared in a factory, they are weatherproof and increase a building’s longevity and sustainability.
Check out this infographic to understand the key benefits of producing prefabricated MEP modules.
BIM facilitated modular formwork construction is a quicker and smarter way to improve productivity, reduce material waste, and decrease field installation time while gaining better execution and site safety. The major advantage of using BIM for Formwork planning and detailing is acquiring accurate formwork data in the early stages to gain greater control. Identifying problems before they occur on the field, communicating accurate data to the field, etc. helps structural contractors save money, time, and resources.
