Offsite fabrication is the ultimate in value engineering for building services. But many contractors prefer on-site fabrication of rebar & other things while others find that off-site fabrication is more advantageous. The economics of on-site and off-site fabrication of rebar need to be compared on the basis of several factors.

Off-site fabrication itself is a topic of international interest and provides an effective construction technique in terms of quality, time, cost, function, productivity and safety. It is adopted worldwide as the ideal means of producing an immense array of elements from structural members, cladding units, bathrooms to fully-finished modular buildings.

So in this topic we can cover the principles, applications and implications for design and construction.

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. - Dipak Bhattacharya.

Wedbush Securities analyst Lou Kerner, who made this guess in a report last week on the what he called the 'Second Internet', says by 2015 Facebook will earn $11 billion on $22 billion and have a market value of $234 billion, Business Insider said Thursday. "That makes the company's recent second market valuation of $85 billion look like a fine deal indeed,'' the business web site said. In his earlier predictions in February 2010, Kerner had said that Facebook might be worth $100 billion by 2015.

The analyst also believes "that other revenue sources - like Credits - will scale faster than he originally anticipated.''...
