can have a positive impact on a construction project’s schedule and budget. Not all that long ago, when I was still a young laborer in the field, many items such as millwork, ductwork and mechanical components were still frequently fabricated on the job site. Back then, many “old timers” predicted prefabrication was the future.

Distinct from traditional prefabrication, which occurs offsite, this approach fabricates building elements within a large, temporary manufacturing facility at the construction site. For example, it takes close collaboration to maximize the efficiency in exterior wall assembly panels before the fabrication process begins.

Fabricating components off-site leads to more consistent builds and higher quality outputs. By contrast, prefabrication extracts whole elements from the jobsite, giving owners greater certainty over cost, schedule and output.
