About "On-site vs Off-site fabrication at construction site.." topic:

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.

2 Transportation Problem
Dipak Bhattacharya  |  Added idea  "Transportation Problem"  |  1 year ago
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.

I am not sure whether this is really happened or not, But I liked it and want to share with all my friend here. Please read once ............ One day Maths teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name. Then she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down. It took the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed in the papers. That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and listed what everyone else had said about that individual. On Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was smiling. 'Really?' she heard whispered. 'I never knew that I meant anything to anyone!' and, 'I didn't know others liked me so much,' were most of the comments. No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. She...
