Prefabrication Homes, Prefabricated Construction and Prefabricated Components

Posted on by

Prefabrication is the industrialization of the construction method in which the components are mass produced is assembled (assembled) in the building with the help of cranes and lifting equipment and handling the other.

Prefabricated Structural Components made ​​from concrete with precast units / numbers precast or precast elements (printing units) depending on the alternative use, the printing is controlled by both hardening and given time to achieve certain desired strength before being picked up and taken to the actual construction footprint for development.

Construction methods are made ​​using prefabricated components are collectively referred to as “Prefabricated Construction”. Prefabrication Construction can be a main building activity sectors: Industrial Architecture, General Engineering (Engineering structures in general) and Civil Engineering.

Precast Structural Components, alternatively made ​​to the building at a particular site. This trend leads to the component manufacturer.

MATERIAL PROBLEM

Materials that must be met in the techniques of building construction with prefabricated construction system:

  • Ability to manufacture through mechanical methods (load luggage and components covered).
  • Possible structural connection and a decent connection and allows it to be made with the most simple way.
  • Simultaneously The possibility of execution of its functions and limitations due to the burden of congenital latitude.

The most important thing is that the material must have the following qualifications:

  • Isolating heat, waterproof and anti-decay.
  • Anti-flame and can be printed in volumetric.
  • Can be nailed and sawed making it possible to change.
  • Not much in need of maintenance (maintenance).
  • It has high strength.

Buying and Caring for Construction Equipment

Buying used equipment can save even more money than buying a NEW but even the former heavy equipment may still need some expenses / repairs that if not careful could spend significant time and cost could even equal the difference in price if we buy machine new, but today many people anticipate to buy a new machine with a low price of heavy equipment from china.

Used construction equipment prices can be cheaper 50% of the new but if the use of heavy equipment is not monitored then the cost to repair will quickly swell and obviously it is not profitable. Because it is for users who intend to buy equipment used more or less technically need to know about the maintenance and care of such equipment.

CREDIT

Because of the high prices for equipment, almost all consumers by way of leasing or buying credits. Many companies buy heavy equipment to dealers who typically provide a means of finance or leasing. And dealers are set up agreements with the Bank or Leasing Company. Generally, companies that want to buy on credit will inevitably compare the rates or terms that gained by leasing companies or other banks.

Infrastructure for Investment, The Importance of Light Steel Frame

Association of Engineers Indonesia (PII) Gorontalo area to socialize the use of lightweight steel frame for the roof construction of housing in the area. Socialization done because people are entitled to disclosure of information on materials, production processes, strengths, fabrication, construction methods, as well as a decent price.

“The use of lightweight steel frame is more efficient than a conventional steel frame and wood,” said Bonni MM Ointu, Chairman of Gorontalo Regional PII.

He said the infrastructure is one prerequisite of development because it is part of the built environment (man-made environment) that is needed for continuity and sustainability of human life. Roads, ports, sanitation facilities, communications, transportation, or settlements have an important role for people to develop themselves.

Infrastructure development, can move so as to encourage economic investment community, has also become an instrument to create jobs.

“However, because the current high cost of infrastructure development, all parties must find a way to efficiently and effectively. Thus, mild steel to be one solution,” he said.

In addition, if the use of lightweight steel frame has been popular in the community, it can reduce the expansion of logging of trees so as not to disrupt the forest ecosystem.
