DoPre-Engineered homes Work in the India? We’ve witnessed the inroads prefabricated building techniques are making in to the US and European construction markets and the increasing desirability of the finished product. But our realisation that the benefits prefab homes deliver are even more pertinent in the Indian market was our ‘lightbulb’ moment.
Managing a build is a tricky and demanding process wherever you are in the world. But, if you have ever managed a build in India – whether residential, leisure or commercial – you are probably well aware of exactly how challenging conditions can be here. Wherever you are building in India, development projects can often be at the mercy of extreme weather and environmental conditions.
Depending on the location of your site, you might be trying to manage extreme heat, extreme cold, or even sudden high rainfall. Such temperamental factors can massively impact build times.
Managing the Weather You can’t manage the weather – although if anyone can pre-order cool, dry conditions for an uninterrupted twelve-week stretch we’d love to hear from you! You could easily make your fortune in the building trade! What prefabricated housing solutions offer is a way to manage the impact of the weather. When strong winds or sudden heavy rainfall can make building work on site grind to a halt, doing as much of the engineering and construction work off site begins to make perfect sense.
This is what using prefabricated components allow: a large part of the build process takes place under factory conditions which aren’t subject to bad weather affecting play (or work). When the components arrive at site, the modular approach means that they can rapidly be assembled to the highest quality and safety standards – again reducing the impact of site conditions on the overall project timescales (and, therefore, budget).
Highly durable buildings – whatever the prevailing weather conditions What makes today’s prefabricated solutions so ideal for the market is the range of choice available. There are now many different materials and techniques available to achieve the look and price you want for your site. Each material has its own characteristics and benefits and this makes it very easy to develop a prefab home that will not only withstand but flourish under the local site and weather conditions. Working with an experienced designer and architect, investing in good site surveys, and incorporating local environmental data will all feed into the design process to help you to create a home that is suited to the local conditions, offers efficient insulation and protection against prevailing weather and environmental conditions.
