PREFABRICATION AND
MODULARIZATION
WHAT IT IS:
Prefabricated construc on is a growing trend in building delivery. Un l recently, most building systems
were fabricated from raw materials on site. Today, an increasing number of building systems are being
pre-manufactured off site and shipped as completed, o en as integrated assemblies. These include
panelized structural and enclosure systems, interior ceiling assemblies, and bathroom pods, to name
just a few examples.
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT:
Prefabrica on and modulariza on allow you to be er plan produc on workflows and op mize
produc on space in dedicated facili es away from the project site. Through high-quality equipment and
proprietary automated processes, manufacturers can safely and efficiently fabricate finished assemblies
faster, with more consistent quality, and usually at a lower cost.
Benefits of prefabrica on and modulariza on:
Key technologies:
• Create greater efficiency and consistency among similar projects
• Drive increased quality and produc vity
• Con nuously improve processes and capabili es
• Improve safety
