Prefabrication in construction is gaining substantial momentum, driven by exciting new technologies and significant project success. The construction industry requires new solutions to overcome rising project demands and a labor shortage. Prefabrication offers a solution for construction firms to take their capabilities to an entirely new level by leveraging construction technologies that are driving innovation, […]
Why electrical prefabrication is worth the investment today
Have you tried electrical prefabrication on a recent project? Like many other construction industry sectors, electrical prefabrication is becoming more popular in the electrical industry for many reasons, including, but not limited to, improved productivity, reduced costs, and increased component installation times. As a result, modular construction is also leveraging these methods successfully. Prefabrication includes identifying […]
7 Tips for Improving Your Fab Shop and Large Complex Fabrications
Prefabrication and modular construction are driving MEP and Industrial contractors to invest in fabrication and spend millions on equipment and machines to work on large complex fabrications. They are also investing considerable resources in new technology to develop highly skilled workers to be more productive. Organizing your fabrication shop floor and workflows is equally crucial […]
Prefabrication Benefits for Industrial Construction in 2023
Industrial construction is a growing sector within prefabrication. While previously done on-site, industrial contractors are moving to safer, off-site facilities that come with a variety of benefits. Industrial construction is primarily located on the outskirts of a town. Therefore, manufacturing sites factor in the need for special conveyance requirements such as 24/7 shipping and receiving, […]
10 Benefits of Prefab in Construction
Prefabrication (or Prefab) involves constructing building components offsite and at a secure facility, then transporting the materials and units for assembly on the jobsite. While on the jobsite, trade contractors assemble units and hand over buildings to their new owners. This process eliminates the need for traditional “stick-building” construction and, among many benefits, reduces waste. […]
Top Issues Facing Electrical Contractors on Industrial Projects in 2023
There is no room for error in electrical contracting projects in industrial settings. They are highly complex and physically demanding, varying from chemical plants and production environments to plastic and rubber facilities. As a result, electrical contractors with experience and expertise matters more in these projects than in many other fields. If “company fit” isn’t […]
Building Information Modeling (BIM) Creates more efficient construction projects
Before diving into how Building Information Modeling (BIM) adoption for contractors is crucial, it’s essential to understand the benefits BIM can provide contractors throughout the construction process, including the project delivery method, contracting structure, and the varying levels of stakeholder involvement in the BIM Model. Construction Project Delivery Methods & Building Information Modeling Project Delivery […]
Fabrication Shops Need to Adopt Technology
2023 is right around the corner, and fabrication shops of all sizes must consider investing in technology to combat the talent pool shortage and alleviate pain points on the shop floor. In addition, the industry is rapidly adopting prefabrication and modular construction on every project, which presents significant growth opportunities, but the scale can only […]
5 Benefits Prefabrication and Manufacturing Can Have on Your Mechanical Projects
The last decade has seen incredible growth with technologies hoping to increase productivity and help teams deliver projects efficiently and profitably. The access to information and ease with which we can communicate has revolutionized most businesses. But, unfortunately, it has also led to individuals expecting immediate results. The construction industry feels the same effects in […]
BIM and its Movement to Construction Industrialization
Industrialization brought to construction presents, at least on a high level, the use of state-of-the-art offsite production technologies and the standardization of products, components, and modules. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is rapidly making its movement. The industrialization of manufacturing processes is already common practice in many other industries, such as airlines, automotive, and retailing, […]
