HYBRID CONSTRUCTIONS THROUGH PREFABRICATED ROOFING FOR COST SAVING AND BETTER DURABILITY

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.

Portable Offices

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.

The Best Practices for Maintaining Modular Office Buildings

Modular office buildings are a great option for businesses of all sizes. They are typically faster to construct than traditional office buildings, and they can be customized to meet specific needs. However, like any building, modular office buildings require regular maintenance to keep them in good condition. Here are some of the best practices for maintaining modular office buildings: Inspect the building regularly:  Conduct regular inspections of your modular office building to identify any potential problems. This includes checking for signs of wear and tear, such as cracks in the walls or roof, loose tiles, or damaged windows. Clean and maintain the exterior:  The exterior of your modular office building should be cleaned and maintained regularly to prevent the build-up of dirt, debris, and mold. This can be done by washing the walls and roof with a mild detergent and water. Inspect the HVAC system:  The HVAC system is essential for maintaining a comfortable temperature in your mo
