For architects, prefabrication is often equated with cheap, rectilinear box forms, dumbed down to make building fast and easy. Modern prefabrication is much more than that. It is an element of Industrialized Construction comprised of products, processes, projects, people and platforms designed to circumvent the issues often encountered in today’s conventional construction. It is a sophisticated process of developing construction solutions, both bespoke and off-the-shelf, that improves quality, reliability and predictability in its outcomes. In short, the potential is huge.
In addition, prefabrication in healthcare is both a unique challenge and significant opportunity. Healthcare clients are often risk averse, wanting the tried and tested above innovations with potential but less established. At the same time healthcare facilities are among the most complex buildings and subject to significant stressors in use; therefore the benefits and return on investment for prefabrication can have transformative impact. Through our discussion, we will help you learn more about modern prefabrication and how you can integrate it into your healthcare projects.
