Advanced Technologies in Constrction

Prefabricated buildings use materials like steel, wood, fiberglass, and concrete that are manufactured off-site and assembled on-site. Synthetic materials are commonly used for walls and roofs to provide durability and security. Prefabricated materials allow for faster, more efficient construction while lowering costs compared to traditional building methods. Some advantages include standardized production and earlier protection from weather, while disadvantages include less flexibility once installed. Common prefabricated elements include sandwich panels, cross-laminated timber walls and floors, and concrete panels.

Prefabricated Materials :

Prefabricated building materials are used for buildings that are manufactured off-site and shipped later
to assemble at the final location same of the commonly used prefabricated building materials are
aluminum steel, wood, fiberglass and concrete.

Synthetic materials are used for the walls & roofs. To provide enhanced security a combination of both
metal and cloth materials are used. Plastic flooring materials can be quickly assembled and are very
durable

Prefabricated, building materials used for small prefabricated buildings are steel, wood, fiberglass,
plastic or aluminium materials. These materials are cheaper than regular brick and concrete buildings.
Materials like steel, fiberglass, wood and aluminium are used as prefabricated building materials for
sports buildings. These materials provide flexibility and are preferred for making structures and
accessories like stands and seats for stadium and gyms.

For making low cost housed, prefabricated materials like straw bale, Ferro cement calcium silicate.
Products, campsites and other cheap wood based materials are currently being used calcium silicate
bricks are strong and durable. Ferro cement consists of a cement matrix reinforced with a mesh of
closely-spaced iron rods or wires. In this type of construction, the techniques used are simple & quick.

Using Prefabricated materials one can make durable water and fire resistant and cheap prefabricated
buildings. Most of the prefabricated building materials are eco-friendly & affordable.

Advantages:

 The standardization allows for more efficient production, lowering the price per unit.
 Shortened construction time allows that sooner the roof structure can be mounted, earlier the
construction will be covered and made air-tight exposing it to less humidity.

Disadvantages:
 Since the construction elements are pre-planned, adjustments made after installation slows
down the process and generates higher expense.

The construction industry today uses different levels of pre-fabrication:

1. Completely pre-fabricated with in-situ casting


2. Semi Prefabricated with in-situ casting

The system is based on pre-decided maximum dimensions and a set of rules within which an
architect / engineer can design freely.

The dimensions of the panels and elements are based on

1. Restriction of the factory


2. The load carrying capacity of the material
3. Dimension of the truck transporting the materials to the site

Pre-Fab Elements:
Sandwich Panel:

Thicknesses of Sandwich Roof Panels and Sandwich Wall Panels to be used for the roof and walls of
your building based on the types of insulation range from 40 mm to 200 mm for the PUR/PIR
insulation type, 50 mm to 150 mm for the Mineral Wool insulation, and 40 mm to 150 mm for the
EPS insulation.

A load bearing pre-fabricated element where the inner concrete element is load bearing and the
exterior serves as weather protection.
