 Prefabrication systems & schemes
Aspects to be considered in devising a system
• Effective utilization of spaces
• Straight & simple walling scheme
• Ltd sizes & no. of components
• Ltd opening in bearing walls
• Regulated locations of partitions
• Standardized service & stair units
• Ltd sizes of Door & window with regulated positions
• Structural clarity & efficiency
• Suitability for adoption in low rise & high rise blgs
• Ease of manufacturing, storing & transporting
• Speed and ease of erection
• Simple jointing system
