What off-site construction means

Off-site construction, also called off-site manufacturing or prefabrication, makes building components in a factory before transporting them to site for assembly.

Modular construction makes whole sections of a building. Panelized construction makes wall or roof panels. Both methods are used in residential, industrial and commercial projects.

Factory production can overlap with site preparation, shortening the overall schedule. It also moves fabrication tasks away from the site.

EBS Global designs and manufactures prefabricated metal panels for assembly on site.

Manufacturing indoors gives more control over working conditions and quality checks, with less exposure to weather. Site teams still need to plan delivery and installation.

The choice of off-site system depends on the building and how its components will be delivered and assembled.
