J.F. Ahern: What is Prefabrication? Video

Prefabrication is the process of construction and assembly of building components in an off-site, controlled, “factory” setting prior to installation at the jobsite / building location

In this video, SMACNA member J.F. Ahern takes you through project stages including estimating, pre-planning, design/coordination, scheduling and purchasing, fabrication/assembly, quality control, and field installation to show how prefabrication works and benefits projects though improved risk, timing and cost.
