Comparison between fabricated buildings and buildings constructed traditionally 

With the advancements in construction and building technologies of the day; building material, structural technology, and innovations that enabled ease and speed in construction; this also applies to residential housing till businesses, building technology enables business owners can now have offices, factories and warehouses to store their goods.

Owners can now have real estate build on their property with ease and speed.  One of the ways in achieving so is to choose fabricated buildings; today there are countless companies that provide contractual work in building factories, fabricated warehouses and variety of structures.  This enabled business owners to own affordable warehouses, but are of highest quality and economically feasible.  In this excerpt, we will introduce and compare the multiple characteristics between construction of buildings the traditional way versus utilizing fabricated buildings, warehouses and factories.  Factory construction contractors will explain about the difference in cost, time and utilization.  Please follow the details from Jettarin Engineering Co. Ltd., a company that designs, manufactures and install fabricated buildings with RANBUILD. 

1. Cost comparison in building residential housing, factories and warehouses. 

When constructing offices or factories, the bulk of the cost can be categorized as building materials, labor wages, and other miscellaneous overhead (e.g. profits, land tax, etc.); especially in the cost of building materials, such as steel, cement, concrete, tile cement, etc.  With the economic forecast, inflation will impact both Thailand and overseas, this will have an impact on the price of building material and wages.  These factors are all variables in the rising prices in the foreseeable future. 

When constructing a house, factory, warehouse or office that owners truly desire to have their own plans, there will be a need to purchase components and materials separately.  This begins with the purchasing materials to lay out the foundations till the actual structure.  Each component no matter how small it may be, all require incurring cost. If the project isn’t properly managed, and there is an over purchase or under purchase of materials, resulting in waste or having to purchase additional materials on retail, it will result in the cost ballooning. 

But when opting to constructing with fabricated buildings, which the majority of instances contractor companies that provide services in fabricated factories and warehouses will have a detailed construction plan.  Every component from the design of the fabricated building has undergone through every detail utilizing the computer software RDS that show details in 2D and 3D.  This enables customers to see the mock up design of the building.  This enables clarity, and true understanding, and construction price estimation immediately.  Clients will not need to hesitate in choosing between the fabricated building or the factory. The calculations will yield the size, equipment required, types/quantity of building materials, thus ensuring no waste is spared.  Furthermore, the time duration for the completion can be delivered exactly on time even before commencing the project.    

On the aspect on how many construction workers are required, when considering about construction traditionally, it will require different sets of crews, with different set of skills for each task.  But for fabricated structures, which is about installing components into a building, which is far simpler, will require a smaller crew, but still retain the effectiveness, quality, and speed. 

Therefore, the initial investment and cost of constructing a fabricated building and warehouse is easily managed, prevent ballooning of costs, because the business owner will know beforehand the entirety of the cost required; the materials, equipment and labor costs.  This can be achieved from the beginning; selection of the factory size from the desired plan, thus choosing a contractor that provides services in fabricated warehouses, factories or buildings is another viable option that allows the client to be owners of affordable buildings and warehouses that is cost effective.

2. Duration in Construction

Normally during traditional construction, either if it’s a house, building, factory or warehouse, all the procedures of construction will have to undergo rigorous processes.  Which will result in years for delivery of quality and complying to safety standards.  Despite the fact that there is a clear framework of how the construction will undergo, there are some points in the procedures that may undergo some complications; e.g. casting columns, wall laying, etc., which will still use significant of time and manpower.  If there are challenges that are uncontrollable, e.g. some of the workers may decide to take leave resulting in insufficient manpower, the weather may not suit for work, etc., will ultimately result in prolonged and extended time in construction. 

On the contrary, fabricated buildings, no matter if it’s a building, office, factory, warehouse or labor camp, etc., by installation contractors, will require far less time compared to traditional construction.  If excluding the time required in preparing the foundation and the lead time in manufacturing components which can be assembled on site immediately.  This covers the stage of structure, building extension, or even interior design; ultimately reducing the procedures in work and time in installation.

• Speed in preparation of equipment and construction materials. This removes the necessity in needing to procure materials from different sources.  All components are sourced and decided even before construction, e.g. RANBUILD structure which is under the BlueScope, a brand guaranteed in quality from Australia. 
  
  
• Shortens painting time. The structure and material required are galvanized coated, which is extremely rust resistant.  Aesthetics, resulting in fabricated projects are great to the eye.  
  
  
• No welding required.  Fabricated buildings are installed by a bolt system or screwed in rather than welding, it’s extremely strong and durable. 

3. Equally Utilized

Another aspect for many who are deciding on fabricated house or buildings, are concerned about the appearance and interior function.  The reality of fabricated building or buildings constructed traditionally both have interior spaces utilized normally, and aren’t different whatsoever.  A building will inherently appear to look like a building; no matter if it’s a residential house, office, a warehouse or manufacture facility there are many varieties to choose from according to the client’s preference and style.

There is no need for concerns on utilities; electrical, fresh water, or hygiene all aspects are accounted for since the beginning of the design, the construction and installation of fabricated buildings.  This also in included in the interior design, whether if it’s used for residing or for business activities, the building can be modified and adjusted accordingly.   All that was mentioned, the client or business owner can specify their requirements to the company that provides services in factory construction or fabricated factories and buildings, we provide services to every specification.   Finally, the life time usage, fabricated buildings overall are very strong and durable.  From the utilization of multiple materials, the high quality and compliance to standards in manufacturing, it can withstand multiple weather; hot, rain, cold and can last for decades.  This also similar to buildings that are constructed traditionally.  There is also after sales service and a warranty on the main structure or overall usage.  Furthermore, the warranty can be decided on what aspects or criteria it will cover.

Innovation on fabricated buildings has made great leaps over the years.  With the intention to provide convenience and reap the maximum benefits of utilization for both residing and working
