Prefabricated building construction is no longer a trend but a well-established method, especially for industrial and commercial spaces. Even residential building architects and builders are adopting this method nowadays. Offering quick and sustainable construction, this technique is gaining popularity due to its cost and time benefits. A prefab multi storey building is a fine example of pre-engineered or prefabricated buildings. Manufacturers like MAK Building use innovative techniques to enhance the efficiency, features, and reduce the environmental impact of these buildings.
Here are some of the key innovations that enhance the construction and final output of the multi-storey building made by the prefabrication method:
Top Innovations In Prefab Multi Storey Building Construction
Building Information Modelling
A building has a diverse set of elements, and collaborating with all the different types of data is an uphill task. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a method that eases the collaboration between designers, fabricators, and different operations by creating a centralized digital model of the building for their reference. It helps them optimize, correct the errors, and improve teamwork.
Improved Material Quality
To enhance the structural properties, prefab multi storey buildings use light gauge steel framing (LGSF). The steel sheets are manufactured by the cold forming method, which provides precision and speed of manufacturing. Though it is lighter, it is highly strong, corrosion resistant, and fire resistant. Other material innovations are expanding foam, which forms airtight and watertight seals and insulation for the structure.
Modular Components
The prefabrication method allows for modular construction, in which the modules of the building structure are constructed in a factory-controlled setting and assembled on site. These modules give flexibility in layout, finishes, and can be given an aesthetic touch when assembled.
Green Construction
The prefabrication method is sustainable and can be used for green building constructions. Using recycled steel, energy-efficient design, and adapting to various environmental conditions make the building green and reduce its carbon footprint.
Architectural Innovations
Manufacturers can apply innovative architectural designs like curved roofs using bendable sheets, glass facades for outstanding features, and wide spans with the help of steel with an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, requiring minimal supportive columns.
Benefits of Prefab Multi Storey Building
- Customization Flexibility: Pre-engineered building method allows for customization in designs. At MAK Building, we use high-tech design software to make tailored designs that are feasible to construct.
- Quicker Construction: Prefabrication is a quick method of construction due to the availability of labour, raw material, and professional commitment. The whole process of designing, fabrication, and assembly takes much less time.
- Early Occupancy: By getting the building completed in a quick time and with no delays, the builders can occupy the building early and start their operations, such as releasing the space for renting or purchasing.
Longevity: These buildings are known for their longevity due to their rugged design and resistant materials. - Less Maintenance: Compared with concrete building structures, these require less maintenance due to moisture & corrosion resistance and thermal stability.
Conclusion
In the construction of a prefab multi storey building, many innovative methods can be applied to enhance the durability, resistance, stability, and overall benefits. It saves time, cost of investment, provides scope for customization, and most importantly, durability of the building. Using improved material quality, better quality control, and collaboration, the construction method and final output are made superior.
