Sustainability In Prefabricated Construction: The Future Of Buildings

Building prefabricated projects with modular components ensures a highly efficient and sustainable structure. This process promotes limited disruption of the surrounding environment on the job site, less material waste, and a reduction of energy use for the construction of the project. We will explore each of these advantages below.

LIMITED SITE DISRUPTION

At Shrock Prefab, our process aids in the reduction of site disruption as a major portion of assembly of the components occurs in a controlled environment, inside an optimized facility.  Our space increases the efficiency of strategic labor and construction through repeated processes by skilled laborers, and a shortened time frame compared to traditional construction.  This reduces the disruption of land and the ecosystem surrounding the building site. 

LESS WASTE

When construction of components occurs in a controlled facility like at Shrock Prefab, there is less damage to materials, errors are reduced, less environmental hazards, and greater inventory control.  This promotes less materials being placed in landfills. 

REDUCED USE OF ENERGY

When comparing prefabricated construction with traditional construction, there is a serious reduction of energy use.  In traditional construction there are increased emissions from heavy equipment, longer outdoor work hours, and a greater use of power tools.  Inside prefabricated facilities, there is less use of heavy equipment, shorter work hours, and an efficient use of power tools. 

The sustainability of prefabricated components is evident in the manufacturing process.  The future of construction can proceed with confidence in the use of modular building materials.  Contact Shrock Prefab today to discuss how we can promote sustainability on your next building project.
