Prefabrication of services
Series: Building Services Journal ; 23(11) November 2001, 28-29(2)Publication details: 2001Subject(s): Summary: Explores the benefits of the specification of pre-assembled and pre-fabricated building services installations - it provides opportunities for improving project performance. The problem of low site productivity is addressed in BSRIA's 1997 report "Improving M&E site productivity" which shows the average productivity in a sample of UK projects as a low 37%. Discusses the applications for pre-assembled and pre-assembly - the benefits of which are illustrated in BSRIA's 1998 report "Pre-fabrication and pre-assembly" - which identifies marked improvements of a 30% rises in productivity associated with the use of pre-assembled plant modules. The article finishes by a look at the constraints on the greater use of pre-assembly and pre-fabrication.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
