Prefabricated Steel Structures: Streamlining Construction Processes
Author(s): Broderick Gordon*
In the construction industry, efficiency, speed and cost-effectiveness are crucial considerations. Prefabrication, a construction method that involves
manufacturing components off-site and assembling them on-site, has gained significant popularity. When combined with steel as the primary
material, prefabrication offers numerous advantages in streamlining construction processes. This article explores the benefits and applications of
prefabricated steel structures, highlighting how they revolutionize construction methods. Prefabricated steel structures involve the manufacturing of
steel components, such as beams, columns and panels, in a controlled factory environment. This off-site fabrication allows for simultaneous work
processes, reducing overall construction time. Workers can fabricate the components while on-site preparation, such as foundation construction,
