One thing is clear in industrial prefabrication: change isn’t just coming—it’s already here. The contractors who adapt and adopt stay ahead, while those resistant to change are left in the dust. As the demands of industrial projects grow more complex, so do the requirements of the technology supporting them. That’s why industrial prefabrication needs different […]
Why Industrial Prefabrication Requires a Different Approach
Industrial prefabrication isn’t just commercial prefabrication on a larger scale. It’s an entirely different animal. The systems are heavier, the materials are more demanding, and the stakes—particularly around safety, precision, and compliance—are far higher. Whether you’re building modules for data centers, process piping for refineries, or spools for utility-scale infrastructure, entering the world of industrial […]
Using Tech to Adhere to Standards in Industrial Fabrication
Following strict standards from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is essential for maintaining safety, quality, and compliance in industrial fabrication. As these standards evolve, fabricators face increasing pressure to meet complex requirements while maintaining efficiency and productivity. An effective way to navigate these challenges is by leveraging shop management technology to streamline workflows. […]

The 2024 Ultimate Guide to Prefabricated Construction
The Advantages of Prefabricated Construction Prefab or prefabricated construction is when parts are made off-site and assembled onsite. The process involves creating the components in a factory or workshop away from the final building location. Once the workers complete the parts, they transport them to the construction site for assembly. This method is becoming more […]
What are the essential elements of Industrial Prefabrication?
Industrial prefabrication is a construction method in which building components are manufactured off-site in a factory setting and transported and assembled on-site. This construction method has gained popularity recently due to its many advantages, including cost savings, time efficiency, and improved quality control. The essential elements of industrial prefabrication include: Design: The design process is critical […]
