What is Off-site Manufacturing?
Off-Site Manufacturing (OSM) is a modern construction method where building components are fabricated in a controlled factory environment before being transported to the construction site for assembly. This approach enhances efficiency, precision, and quality in construction projects.
Here are the primary types of off-site manufacturing:
Volumetric Construction
Panelised Construction
Hybrid Construction
Sub-assemblies and Components
Precast Concrete Construction
Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT)
Prefabricated MEP Systems
How Do You Benefit From Off-Site Manufacturing?
Using OSM, projects benefit from :
- Improved Quality Control: Off-site manufacturing occurs in a controlled factory environment, ensuring consistent quality and precision in every component.
- Faster Construction Times: Prefabricated components are quickly assembled on-site, reducing the overall build time compared to traditional methods, which benefits projects with tight deadlines.
- Cost Savings: Off-site manufacturing offers substantial cost savings through efficient production processes and reduced labour costs.
- Enhanced Safety: Safety is significantly enhanced in off-site manufacturing as the factory environment is inherently safer than an active construction site.
- Sustainability: Off-site manufacturing promotes sustainability by reducing waste through precise material usage and factory recycling capabilities.
- Labour Efficiency: Reduces the reliance on on-site labour, which addresses common issues such as skill shortages and variable labour quality.
Our Process
- Design and Planning Our process begins with meticulous design and planning stages, where our expert team collaborates with clients to understand their requirements and project objectives.
- Material Procurement Once the design phase is complete, we initiate material procurement, sourcing high-quality materials from trusted suppliers.
- Prefabrication Our fabrication facilities use advanced equipment and technologies to precisely prefabricate components.
- Quality Control Quality control is paramount at Deco. Our dedicated quality assurance team conducts rigorous inspections and tests throughout the prefabrication process to ensure that every component meets our stringent quality standards.
- Transportation and Logistics Once fabrication is complete, finished components are carefully packaged and transported to the construction site.
- On - Site Assembly Upon arrival at the construction site, our skilled installation teams seamlessly integrate the prefabricated components into the overall structure.
- Final Inspection and Completion After assembly is complete, our project managers conduct a final inspection to verify that all components are installed correctly and meet the client's expectations.
