What Are the Components that Make a Prefabricated Building?

Like traditional construction methods, prefabrication technology involves various stages of development of components that form the ultimate structure. As modular construction is a sophisticated process, it involves a higher degree of precision and better resource control into development of each component that forms the prefab building.
   
Prefabricated buildings are in essence a large number of individual components that are assembled and combined. It works just like Lego-building process but obviously on a large real-world scale.

At the initial stages, a modular or prefab building is a bunch of countless pieces that pass-through stages of fabrication at a dedicated factory setting and are delivered to the site for final assembly. This standardized process of building construction enables better control over quality and dimensional accuracy.   

Let us understand the major components that make up a prefabricated building - 

On-Site Foundation
   
The foundation for a prefab constructed building is one of the very few components that is actually produced in-situ. The foundation for a prefab modular building includes excavation, footings, and the foundation.

  Framed Structure  

For modular constructed buildings, metal-framed structures are the load-bearing elements and also allow for attachment of various panels and exterior as well as interior aesthetic components. The framed structure in a modular building serves a purely functional purpose and is constructed in a dedicated factory.   

  External Panels 
     
Enveloping the structure frames are panels that are fabricated at a factory. The PEB manufacturer in India EPACK offers insulated panel components that enable better thermal insulation, fire resistance as well as acoustic insulation.   



  Electrical and Plumbing Fitments
     
In order to accommodate the electrical and plumbing fitments in a building, dedicated fixture points are offered on both the framed structure as well as external or internal panels. The plumbing, electrical and HVAC utilities are mostly added to the structure after final assembly at the site and these components serve functional and ergonomic benefits.
  
  Interior Aesthetic Elements 
  
Walls, ceilings, floors as well as surface claddings offer customized levels of finish to a prefab building. They are attached to the structure on the site and commonly serve an aesthetic purpose. These are manufactured to be corrosion as well as fire-resistant.  
  
  Joint Reinforcements  
      
Metal Joints even through being hidden away behind panels serve the highest levels of function in a modular constructed building. They are vital for enhancing the overall strength and durability of a building. These reinforcements add to the load-bearing capacity of the framed structure and thus enable greater longevity of the overall building.  
     
EPACK being the top prefabricated structures manufacturers in India practices the highest levels of quality control and post-production inspection as well as testing in the manufacture of the myriad components that constitute to be the overall prefab structure.  


 Utilizing high-grade and top-notch materials in its fabrication processes, EPACK targets the highest levels of durability from its modular buildings.

Navigating Sustainable Construction: EPACK Prefab's “Steel for Smiles” Initiative

The surge in construction activity, driven by rapid urbanization and population growth, is particularly notable in developing countries like India. However, this expansion has significant environmental implications due to the high energy consumption and carbon emissions associated with the building industry. India aims to achieve zero emissions by 2070, necessitating a shift towards eco-friendly practices and low-carbon products. EPACK Prefab has consistently prioritized sustainability in its projects. Committed to delivering superior pre-engineered building (PEB) solutions, EPACK Prefab transcends traditional construction methods by integrating eco-friendly practices into its manufacturing processes. The company adheres to green building certification guidelines, helping clients significantly reduce carbon emissions. In a recent initiative to promote the circular economy, EPACK Prefab has launched the “Steel for Smiles” program, showcasing its leadership in sustainable construction so

How Prefab Construction Boosts Smart City Infrastructure

In an enlightening chat with ET Now, Mr.Nikhil Bothra, Director of EPACK Prefab, delved into the transformative impact of prefab construction on smart city infrastructure. Prefabricated buildings (PEBs) bring a host of sustainability benefits to the table, boasting a remarkable reduction in carbon footprint by up to 60%. Not stopping there, they also streamline construction with a dust-free process, slashing time by over 50%. What's more, PEBs are a boon for water conservation, requiring zero water during construction. Their versatility shines on flat grounds and proves invaluable in tackling even the most challenging hilly landscapes. Leveraging Technological Advancements Embark on a journey of innovation with EPACK, where technology meets construction to redefine industry standards.

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
