    Benefits of PPVC

    Uploaded by

    toe
    Both prefabricated precast concrete (PPVC) and mass timber (MET) provide benefits to construction projects such as increased productivity and improved construction environments. PPVC allows for factory fabrication and parallel construction, reducing on-site time by 20-40%. MET provides faster construction with fewer workers, less dust, noise and safer sites. While both have advantages, PPVC has higher initial costs and transportation issues for large parts. MET has height restrictions, increased services costs without wall cavities, and reduced long-term flexibility.

    Benefits of PPVC Benefits of MET

    Productivity Improvement Increase Construction Productivity


    Fabrication of PPVC can proceed in Faster Construction & fewer workers
    parallel in the factory on site
    On-site construction activities can be Easier to Build
    significantly reduced
    Productivity Improvement of > 40 % Better Construction Environment
    20% time savings depending on Less Dust & Noise
    complexity of the project Cleaner Sites

    Better Construction Environment Enhances Health & Safety


    Reduction to environment pollution Feel-Good Factor
    Cleaner worksites Better Site Safety

    Better Safety Quality Control Improves Quality Control


    Site safety will also improve as the Better Quality Control
    majority of the installation operations Quality Finish
    and labor are transferred off-site to a
    factory controlled environment.

    Characteristics of PPVC Characteristics of MET


    Every unit is structurally complete  Fire Resistant
     Can be protected against moisture and
    Ideal of structures of termites
     Dense farming  It is sourced from sustainable forests
     High Degree of structural redundancy  Makes construction easier & faster
     Without Excessive spans  Has higher strength to weight ratio
    than concrete or steel

    Disadvantages of PPVC Disadvantages of MET


     Leakage could occur in joints  Height limitations on timber buildings
     For huge Prefabricated parts, are mandated by law.
    transportation costs can be high  Electrical, plumbing, and other service
     Increase production volume is costs may rise (no wall cavities)
    required due to ensuring affordability  Higher architectural and design
     Initial costs are higher expenditures are possible.
     The initial production of designs is  An increase in the cost of material
    time-consuming transportation (relatively few
     Environmental conditions around the manufacturing plants)
    site  Long-term flexibility is reduced (think
    future renovations)
     CLT costs more than steel or concrete.
