It is very simple to differentiate prefabricated and
conventional construction methods from each other. The former involves off-site
manufacturing and on-site installation while the latter involves complete construction
at the site itself. They differ in terms of material utilization, speed of
process, cost, performance and overall function of the structures.
If we wish to combine the tested reliance of conventional
construction with innovative cost-effective use of technology from
prefabrication, then a new form of construction arises - Hybrid
Construction.
Cost of the project and quality of the structure are the key determining
factors in infrastructure development. In hybrid technology, the most expensive
parts of a building can be prefabricated and thus we get to gain better
strength and durability as well. Further these modules can be developed as per
the particular purpose as well.
Traditional roofs of buildings involve use of wood truss and galvanised
steel sheets as envelops. This makes the roofs very expensive to build and wood
being natural is vulnerable to rotting as well and thus arises the need of
maintenance.
Prefabricated roofs to deliver
better strength and cost effectiveness
Prefabricated structures with LGSF constructed roofs are a perfect
alternative to counter the issues with traditional roofing technology and now we
get to obtain better durability and unhindered weather resistance at a fraction
of the cost.
Irrespective of the scale of the construction, the light
gauge steel framing structure can be utilized for roof construction and
enveloped in innovative panels, one can achieve better thermal insulation as
well which makes the structures energy efficient.
The prefabricated roof trusses in portable offices and other buildings can also be made very lightweight so as
to facilitate easy relocation. In hybrid construction, these trusses present
endless design possibilities and we can obtain intricate roof shapes as
well.

The prefabricated roofing solutions are manufactured from high
quality steel framing structures that are well suited to carry heavy loads as
well. The major difference lies in the fact that traditional roofs are designed
by carpenters directly on the building top while as prefab roofs require
meticulous planning and designing for flawless manufacturing which makes them
deliver better strength, durability and extended service spans.
As roof trusses in prefab construction are much durable, they
can span to greater lengths without the need of support walls thus making the
entire structure lightweight and durable. Being manufactured on the assembly
line, innovative use of technology increases the possibilities of design and
thus endless patters of the roof can be achieved which give a personal touch to
your home or office building as well.
EPACK is the leading manufacturer of prefabricated portable cabins and its innovative solutions have led to exploring the farther dimensions of construction possibilities with hybrid technology.
