Are You Aware of Factory-Made Homes In India?

The innovative trend is in action:

Developers have adopted this way of construction as they have started implementing pre-fabricated materials in building construction.

According to Nayan Raheja, executive director of Raheja Developers, "We are using pre-fabricated concrete panels as shear walls and roof slabs, which are assembled like Lego blocks. Apart from prefab panels, complete kitchen and bathroom units are also being assembled as separate units with complete electrical and plumbing systems. These kitchen and bathroom 'pods' are then fit into place."

Raheja further added that "Prefab construction reduces construction time and improves the quality of the building. Though prefab materials are 15-20 percent expensive than the traditional ones, higher efficiency and less wastage and labor costs can bring down the overall cost substantially for large buildings. They also eliminate the need for auxiliary activities such as plastering, electrical wiring and plumbing as these are done at the casting stage itself.”
