PREFABRICATION PROCESS & BENEFITS

Electric prefabrication is a creative process designed to maximize quality and productivity, while reducing overall project completion times. Prefabrication allows electrical systems to be pre-assembled in a controlled, off-site location and then safely transported and delivered to the job-site. Hatzel & Buehler’s Prefabrication Team utilizes a customized step-by-step process, which includes the following:

  • Step 1: Layout & design
  • Step 2: BIM
  • Step 3: Install Drawings
  • Step 4: Prefabrication
  • Step 5: Field install

BENEFITS OF THE PREFABRICATION PROCESS

  • Improved productivity
  • Improved safety on the job site
  • Reduced project duration
  • Mobility of parts with controlled deliveries
  • Less trash and waste on the job-site
  • Ability to properly recycle trash

POP-UP PREFABRICATION SHOPS
