prefaBriCation

Prefabricated or “Prefab” is a construction method in which both standardized and non-standardized building components are fabricated in a controlled factory environment then shipped to and assembled on site. Combine the prefab construction method with the Passive House standard and you have the most energy efficient building technology available today delivered in a fraction of the time required by traditional site-built construction.

off site ConstruCtion

Prefabricated or Off-site Construction refers to the planning, design, fabrication, and assembly of building elements at a location other than their final installed location to support the rapid and efficient construction of a permanent structure. Such building elements may be prefabricated in a different location and transported to the site or prefabricated on the construction site and then transported to their final location. Offsite construction is characterized by an integrated planning and supply chain optimization strategy. Offsite manufacturing (OSM), offsite production (OSP) and offsite fabrication (OSF) are used when referring primarily to the factory work proper.
