The Future Of Pre-Fab & Construction

It seems like everytime the concept of pre-fabrication is brought up to contractors the room gets divided. There are those that are big believers and those that believe what we build has to many variations to pre-fab. I've had crews argue with me over pre-fabrication of things as simple as cable lengths and labeling saying that there is no possible way it can be done. All I can say is that whether you are a contractor or craftsman if you do not embrace the possibilities you will eventually find yourself non-competitive. Take a look at what this company is doing with complete bathroom facilities - Bathroom as An Appliance

Imagine completing 93 bathrooms in less than a week - what would that do for the schedule? What could that do for leveling out your workforce and not having to supply 60 plumbers during this peak production period? There are efficiencies to be gained by the project owners, general contractors and specialty contractors.

The first step in sparking your team into thinking about pre-fabrication opportunities like this is to get them thinking about how much time is wasted during the average construction day and how pre-planning can significantly improve their processes.
