    Systems Principles: Prefabricated of Construction

    Uploaded by

    fifix123
    This document provides an overview of prefabricated building systems. It discusses the history of prefabrication from early construction methods like Mongolian yurts to modern systems. Key milestones are outlined, like the industrial revolution enabling mass production and innovators in the 1900s developing new prefabricated building techniques. Various prefabricated systems are also described for housing, industrial buildings, and their components. Processes of prefabricated construction are compared to on-site building and principles of lean production that aim to reduce waste. The digital age is noted as bringing new potential for sustainable, intelligent design of prefabricated buildings.
