What benefit does the Prefabrication bring to the Hospitality Industry?
Overview
The hospitality sector is gaining momentum around the world; this is booming global tourism due to the rising economy and living standards. There is cut-throat competition in the travel sector which is bringing in modern building construction and giving rise to modular construction which can shape up the structure of new hotel building to get the utmost quality and design of the building construction.
Hotel owners and traders need to attract more customers and gain a quest for customer competent so that they need to pay attention to details right from the initial plan of the construction process to keep the design standards of the building. Here’s why Modular Construction is becoming more popular and it provides major benefits in the reduction of time on the construction site.
Prefabrication or offsite construction has been the buzzworthy trend over the last few years. Modular Construction would help to streamline the construction process which helps in reducing the time of creating building and effectively manage waste. The modern-day building is more environmentally friendly, efficient than the traditional way of building structures. Design and Functionality would enhance the key experience of the customer and help improve the health of occupancy through many benefits such as reduced waste, reduce labor damage and reduce time.
Hotel traders implement modern accessories such as Bathroom pods, wall options, flooring options, etc. That increase quality and satisfy customer’s experience:
The customer would prefer beds, bathrooms and wardrobe space to their utmost satisfaction, enhancing their experience and reduce wastage of material and labor. Prefabrication brings in building modules off-site in a climate-controlled factory. These are transferred to on-site and installed to speed up the entire construction process as consisting of the building. All the factors affecting the construction process such as labor shortage, inclement weather and quality control are easier to control and monitor.
Many hotel owners have started using bathroom pods to enhance more productivity in the occupants. It is a custom-designed bathroom unit that consists of a toilet, washbasin, shower tab and other modern-day accessories required for a bathroom. We can create it in Revit or AutoCAD software in BIM Drafting Services helps to get manufacturing pods which are created seamlessly off-site. Construction of bathroom pods is much quicker to say within 8 weeks of scheduled time and helps to reduce costs.
It provides certain benefits to the owners and traders such as site safety, reduced cost and time of construction, reduced waste, productivity increased upto 80% on-site and aids in maintaining high quality through stringent testing. It can also help in purchasing in bulk, design, quality and completion of modular equipment in a given scheduled time.
Prefabricated wall panels and flooring option also benefit the hospitality sector to an extreme level. Timber prefabricated units have contributed to the industry. A modular wood panel which are usually made of concrete are fabricated in a factory which makes the construction easier and helps to reduce construction costs and time. Prefabricated wood panel systems would use complete timber floor cassettes and panelized walls which are fabricated in a factory to improve and streamline the construction process. It aids in reducing material and labor costs with no need to provide joints. It does not require much maintenance and prevents scaffolding.
Prefabricated floors are hollow-core slabs, cassettes floors or a combination of two. Wood, concrete and ceramics are traditional materials that build floors and floor slabs. Concrete floors have become expensive and difficult because of which prefabricated floors have made materials intent light concrete, reinforced concrete, ceramics and other combinations.
How can sustainability and Prefabrication work great together?
Revit Modelling Services helps in providing BIM Environment that allows modelling and detailing of modular construction to make manufacturing progress seamless off-site. Modular construction provides environmental and social sustainability benefits to the construction process than the traditional construction methods. Those benefits are as follows:-
- It helps to reduce and manage waste
- It would reduce operational energy consumption due to being built off-site and have smart devices that work on attaining sustainable buildings.
- It provides safety for the worker to work in Built-Environment that is monitored for any issues and can be easily controllable.
- It helps to reduce disruption to the construction site and the surrounding areas.
Through qualitative design and project management approach, it aids in knowing the foundation knowledge and integrative understanding to realize and implement these benefits. Modular construction strategy for effective project management and attain sustainability must be appropriately applied.
Benefits of Prefabrication in the Hospitality Industry
Overcome labor shortage: – Prefabrication helps hotel contractors to speed up the project and make most of the labor they have on-site, keeping their safety at a priority which helps to boosts productivity and gains a competitive edge.
Cost-effective solutions: – Moving assemblies of a component from the factory is profitable than the traditional approach of producing assemblies on-site. Due to an increase in the labor, productivity gets increased which helps to make the building complete in the given time frame. It prevents the costs of rework and labor shortage.
Quality Control: – Factory tools are cost-effective and offer quality assurance than standard building practice. By prefabricating the major parts of the building in-house, it reduces the impact of dramatic weather conditions which aids in streamlining the manufacture and assembly processes which prevent on the job safety.
Time-savings: – Prefabrication building is 50% faster and helps to speed up the construction than the traditional construction methods. It makes the project from concept to creation quickly and efficiently completed which can generate faster ROI on projects.
Conclusion
Prefabrication or Modular Construction as the name suggests, is building partial assemblies in the factory which helps the owners and traders get their hotel design and construction ready in a short time. It also prevents the contractor from speeding up project completion by 50%, reduces cost and time, reduces labor shortage and increases productivity.
Drafting Services would help to generate prefabricated assemblies design for any building structure which looks upon the detailing and modelling of the structure.
