Importance of prefabrication construction.
Prefabrication is the practice of assembling components of a structure in a factory or other manufacturing site, and transporting complete assemblies or sub-assemblies to the construction site where the structure is to be located. The term is used to distinguish this process from the more conventional construction practice of transporting the basic materials to the construction site where all assembly is carried out. It is a method of producing part and components of building parts or components by joining or connecting different sections with welded, bolted or riveted segments into a complete unit such as a truss, floor frame, staircase, ceilings frame or other units that are later assembled into a building.

Importance of prefabrication construction.
High capacity- enabling the realization of important projects
Factory made products (Many contemporary building components also require
specialized equipment for their construction that cannot be economically moved from
one building site to another)
one building site to another)
Shorter construction time- less than half of conventional cast in situ construction.
Independent of adverse weather conditions during construction
Opportunities for good architecture
Reduced energy consumption
Environmentally friendly way of building with optimum use of materials, recycling of waste products, less noise and dust etc.
Cost effective solutions (by economizing on assembly time, wages, and materials are
facilitated by locating the prefabrication operation at a permanent site. Materials that
have become highly specialized, with attendant fluctuations in price and availability,
can be stockpiled at prefabrication shops or factories.)

The standardization of building components makes it possible for construction to take place where the raw material is least expensive.
