Prefabrication Trend in the Steel Construction Sector

Prefabrication is becoming the new standard for quality, speed and cost optimization in steel structure construction. How does CMS AS apply this trend?

Pre-production (prefabrication) in a workshop environment for steel construction projects offers numerous advantages over traditional field assembly. Production in a controlled factory environment increases quality consistency while significantly reducing field working time.

Advantages

Since prefabricated steel modules are produced under optimal welding conditions in enclosed workshops, weld quality increases by 40%. As field working time is reduced by 60%, exposure to weather conditions and field accidents also decrease. Due to parallel production, total project time is reduced by 25-35%.

Coordination with BIM

The real potential of prefabrication emerges when combined with BIM. Fabrication drawings generated directly from the 3D model minimize human error. At CMS AS all prefabricated parts are produced with RFID tags and tracked digitally during assembly.
