Off-site construction is a modern method of construction, based on off-site manufacturing of building elements. This method is widely used for housing and in the education sector offering economical, environmental and social advantages. Also this hot trend is catching up like fire.....

Thus, what are the advantages/benefits of off-site construction??

It Saves Time

idea posted by Anjali Sinha Construction-Heavy, Sobha Developers

Off-Site Construction offers significant time savings. Building construction and site preparation occur at the same time.

    * Traditional - Site work must be completed before construction begins
    * Modern Method - Site work and building construction occur at the same time saving as much as 60% of total construction time.

Traditional Process:

Design, Permitting, Engineering, Approval Process
Site Preparation, Civil Engineering, Infrastructure
Site Construction,
Mechanical Installation,
Finish Work
Modern Method
Design, Permitting, Engineering, Approval Process
Site Preparation
Manufacturing

Install
FINISH

30-60% Time Savings

It may please be noted that the tradition methods of construction are based on sequential activities. Hence, heavly dependent on the previous activity that is required to be completed before starting a new activity.

1. The off site OR Factory made OR Pre-fabricated building components allow you to multiple activities simultaneously. Thus saving time extensively.

2. The production in the factoryis done at ground level, which allows a greater control over the quality of the product as compared to inconvenient heights & situations of site.

3. The pre-fabricated cannot be successful without planning in great details for which the project itself needs to be planned in details. The detailing in advance will always be cost saver.

The problem in India is of the acceptance of new methods/technology by the end user.

It is a boon

idea posted by Shaarif A Hussain Civil Engineer-Other, Man Infraconstruction Ltd.
One of the prime concern for any construction is maintaining quality. At offsite it is more achievable. And care should be taken to assemble at site. Planning is key for proper equilibrium between offsite & onsite. It is a boon. Intricate design members can be constructed will less pain.

because when off site cinstruction takes place the qulity control maintained will be high since all materials are under control and there are less degree of obstructions when compared to on site construction

Transportation Problem

idea posted by Dipak Bhattacharya Chief Engineer, A private Ltd Consulting Co. in Delhi

Both on-site and off-site construction have their own merits and demerits.

Transportation of fabricated materials is the biggest and probably the only demerit of Off-site construction.
