Concrete is often used in construction because it is a material with exceptional strength and durability. It is an ideal solution for industrial and storage halls, shopping centers, public buildings, and residential construction. It is increasingly used for individual construction. Concrete structures are typically created on-site by pouring concrete, but construction can also involve pre-prepared concrete elements, which are mainly used when the project needs to be completed quickly and efficiently. Prefabricated elements are manufactured in a factory, transported to the construction site, and assembled on-site.

1, Prefabricated Concrete Elements

A prefabricated concrete structure utilizes elements pre-manufactured in a factory. These concrete elements have built-in reinforcement. Various types of prefabricated elements are available on the market. They are typically produced on order, depending on the elements required by the construction plans.Construction is more cost-effective when as many identical elements as possible are used. This must be considered by the architect when drafting plans. Therefore, structures built with prefabricated concrete elements often resemble modules, with consistent spacing between different load-bearing elements. It is also important that the elements are not too large and can be transported to the site.

2, Skeletal Construction System

In prefabricated concrete construction, various types of elements are typically used to form a skeletal structure. In such cases, there are usually load-bearing elements, such as columns and beams, with non-load-bearing infill installed between them. The load-bearing structure generally consists of vertical elements, such as columns, which already have soft reinforcement installed. The columns are connected by horizontal beams.

3, Prefabricated Concrete Walls

In the construction of prefabricated buildings, factory-made prefabricated concrete walls are also used. These walls consist of concrete panels with built-in reinforcement. During their production, openings for windows and doors are left in the walls. This construction system is highly earthquake-resistant because the walls have reinforcement throughout their entire surface.

On-Site Assembly

Elements manufactured in the factory are delivered to the required location by trucks. The foundation pit and foundations are prepared in advance and may also be prefabricated. The prefabricated structure is first stored on-site and then assembled onto the existing foundations. After completing the ground floor, a ceiling slab is constructed, and construction continues. A prefabricated concrete house or any other structure can be built in a very short time.
