With COVID-19 ravaging the country, the construction industry has been left with a new minefield of problems. While jobsite shut-downs have mostly abated, the construction sector is now left with the struggles of social distancing, the wearing of personal protective equipment to inhibit virus transmission, and the host of scheduling issues that come along with the realities of today’s jobsite.
Enter prefabricated construction, where components of a building are assembled in a factory off-site and transported to the jobsite where the structure is located. While installation speed, cost savings and the quality that goes along with producing components in a controlled environment have always been the prefab construction industry’s claim to fame, current jobsite restrictions paint the benefits in a new light.
