Prefabricated Building Product Description

Traditional construction methods are likely familiar to everyone, primarily using cast-in-place concrete, which involves onsite formwork and pouring of concrete. Prefabricated construction, on the other hand, represents a new approach where the process is akin to assembling blocks. Its structures can be completely modular, integrating modules such as component modules, unit modules, and entire house modules.

Essentially, the entire building is standardized and prefabricated in factories, including structures, decorations, plumbing, electrical, smart devices, furniture, and appliances. These components are then packaged and transported to the site for assembly. After connecting to utilities, occupants can move in immediately, greatly enhancing efficiency.

1. Comprehensive Product Features:

(1) High Efficiency: Compared to traditional methods, factory production is not hindered by adverse weather or other natural conditions, ensuring more predictable timelines and higher productivity.

(2) High Precision: Prefabricated buildings achieve precision with errors as small as millimeters.

(3) High Quality: Factory production of components significantly enhances quality standards.

(4) Cost Savings: Modular assembly reduces processing and installation costs significantly. Onsite assembly also conserves water, electricity, and materials.

(5) Rational Structure: Incorporates a comprehensive standard design system. Offers excellent structural stability, strong seismic performance, and increased usable floor area.

2. Comprehensive Product Advantages:

(1) Energy Efficiency and Environmental Protection: Prefabricated buildings have significant advantages in energy efficiency and environmental protection.

Firstly, they can save resources, such as reducing construction water usage by 60%, material savings by 20%, and construction waste by 80%. This building method reduces the use of scaffolding and supports by 70%, thereby lowering energy consumption and emissions.

Secondly, prefabricated buildings enable fine decoration during factory manufacturing. On construction sites, there is no water, dust, odor, welding, cutting, cement, or gauze, resulting in less than 1% of the construction waste generated by conventional buildings. This not only reduces environmental pollution but also promotes sustainable economic development.

(2). Shortened Construction Period: Prefabricated buildings significantly shorten the construction period. This is primarily due to the industrialized production process, allowing a large number of prefabricated components to be manufactured in a short time. In contrast to traditional cast-in-place buildings, where each floor's work requires waiting for the cement to set, leading to wasted time, in prefabricated buildings, other components can be produced simultaneously, eliminating downtime.

Additionally, many wall panels and prefabricated composite panels are produced in factories, significantly reducing onsite construction intensity and even eliminating the need for masonry and plastering processes, further shortening the overall construction period.

(3) Guaranteed Quality: Prefabricated buildings have significant advantages in terms of quality.

Firstly, through industrial production, the precision of components is increased from centimeters to millimeters, greatly reducing the issues of 'fat beams and thick columns,' thus improving the usable area and indoor space comfort.

Secondly, prefabricated buildings alter traditional connection methods, reducing wet work, thereby enhancing the safety, fire resistance, and durability of the buildings. Additionally, since the components are not affected by weather changes, they can be standardized and mass-produced, ensuring highly reliable quality.

(4). Fast Project Progress: Prefabricated buildings have significant advantages in terms of project progress.

Firstly, factory production is not affected by adverse weather conditions, making construction periods more controllable.

Secondly, prefabricated buildings can complete construction and allow occupancy in a short time, thanks to their highly efficient onsite assembly work, which reduces the workload of workers and the amount of wet work onsite.

Additionally, the basic components of prefabricated buildings can increase work efficiency by 3 to 5 times, further shortening the construction period.

(5). Saving Formwork: Prefabricated buildings have significant advantages in saving formwork usage. This is mainly due to the application of composite slabs as floor bottom molds and external panels as one side of the shear wall formwork.

This design method not only simplifies the construction process but also greatly reduces the demand for formwork. Traditional construction methods often require a large amount of formwork to support and shape the structure, whereas prefabricated buildings effectively reduce this demand through the use of prefabricated components, thereby lowering costs and time.

(6). Diverse Design: Prefabricated buildings have diverse characteristics in design.

Traditional residential designs often do not meet housing needs, characterized by many load-bearing walls, small spans, and fixed partitions, leading to inflexible division of indoor space. Prefabricated houses, however, adopt a large-span flexible division method, allowing easy partitioning into large hall small rooms or small hall large rooms according to the needs of the occupants. The core of this design method lies in the use of lightweight partitions, such as light steel keel with gypsum board or other light panels, ensuring the flexibility and practicality of the residence.

(7). Labor Savings: Prefabricated buildings significantly save labor during the construction phase. Most of the construction work is completed in the factory, greatly reducing the manpower needed on site.

Since most of the work is pre-completed, only a few workers are required for assembly on site, which not only lowers labor intensity but also helps reduce the occurrence of safety accidents. Overall, prefabricated buildings achieve efficient use of labor by optimizing production processes and reducing onsite workload.

(8). Accident Reduction: Prefabricated buildings have significant advantages in reducing accidents. Traditional construction methods require extensive onsite operations involving many workers, which increases the risk of safety incidents.

Prefabricated buildings shift most of the construction work to the factory, requiring only a few workers on site, thus greatly reducing the safety risks onsite. This transition not only simplifies site management but also enhances the efficiency of civilized construction and safety management, effectively reducing the incidence of safety accidents.
