Using prefabrication systems in building construction

Abstract

Prefabrication is a development industry term used to depict assemblies that are fabricated under processing factory conditions and afterward transported to the construction site. The work with this manuscript was initiated with a general literature study to get an overview of construction methodologies of prefabrication systems. Prefabrication systems could be divided according to materials, methods, structural configuration etc. In this article, prefabrication systems are divided according to their configuration. Although there are numerous advantages connected with developing and assembling buildings utilizing prefabrication construction frameworks, a few constraints might likewise exist. The goal of prefabrication systems is to offer a way to get a well-designed building that is at least roughly tailored to resident’s needs. It could be stated that prefabrication systems in building construction have the most effect on time and cost reduction. It is understood that, prefabrication systems could be used more in building construction if the disadvantages of prefabrication are solved and It is possible to say that further improvement of prefabrication systems will prompt a closer joining between building construction and future potential of prefabrication. © 2016 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
