The current Covid-19 pandemic has hardly left any industry unaffected. The severity of the coronavirus has rendered huge losses to the industrial as well as commercial sector and has disrupted growth across domains. The crippling effect of the pandemic has plunged nations into depths of economic crisis and unemployment rates have soared all over the world.   

And the worse, the virus is growing at scale!

Among all the sectors, the construction industry has also had to face its fare share of crisis and a plethora of challenges remain ahead for contractors to preserve the integrity of their projects and recover from the disruption.         

The pandemic and resulting lockdowns have aggravated the troubles for the construction sector and as the demands of infrastructure development across sectors have shown no decline, the mitigated availability of resources, manpower as well as funding in the sector aren’t helping either.       

Even though the challenges we face are humungous, a ray of hope still remains in the form of “Prefabrication”.       

Counter challenges of Covid pandemic on construction with prefabrication technology    

The utilization of off-site construction technologies such as prefabrication is the only viable solution for the construction sector to overcome the current crisis due to the pandemic. The ongoing pandemic has generated a greater popularity for modular construction technology and it is being deemed to be the savior for the sector.   

Why prefabrication is a preferred construction method during the pandemic?     

There are myriad factors and reasons to justify adoption of prefab technology for ensuring revival of the construction sector. Let us discuss each of these -     

§  As the current crisis has shattered economy in the sector, the cost-effective methods of prefabrication that ensure about 50% savings in construction project costs are a viable alternative to adopt 

§  With Covid pandemic risking health of personnel and construction workforce and social distancing being the prescribed precaution for the same, the automation and factory-manufacturing of prefab building structures that relies less on manual labor allows for possible prevention of infection 

§      As the word faces a demand for swift development of healthcare infrastructure, the optimum solution lies with prefabrication technology. The PEB structure manufacturer in Greater Noida offers an assurance of almost 40% reduction in construction project times and enables speeded building development   

§  As an unmatched level of accuracy and precision can be targeted in prefabrication construction, any wastage of materials and the resulting unnecessary expenses can be prevented  


§  EPACK Prefab is one of the top Sandwich panel suppliers in Greater Noida and offers prefab construction solutions that guarantee improved safety of workers as a result of making social distancing possible     

While the industry has sure been hurt by the Covid-19 crisis, prefabrication technology solutions present viable alternatives that pose an undeniable possibility of revitalizing the sector and achieving balanced prospects of recovery and growth.

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
