Prefab & BIM Technology Lead to Fast-Track Efficiency
Prefabricated construction is definitely having a moment — and it stands to reason.
Also known as off-site or modular construction, this building method is the practice of bringing together components of a structure in a factory and then transporting the complete assemblies to the construction site where the structure is located.

Leveraging BIM in Prefab Construction
The benefits of off-site construction are undeniable. From more efficient processes to quicker training and safer conditions, the inherent advantages of this unique building method speak for themselves. Still, much of the traditional construction industry has been slow to adopt off-site construction — even in situations where it would be ideal for a particular market.
Why off-site construction is superior to its traditional on-site counterpart?
In construction, collaboration is crucial. Even in the most seamless situations, projects are only successful when all members of the building team come together to make decisions, solve problems, and share information.
