Prefab prototypes

"With Prefab Prototypes, the authors provide a thorough overview of the driving forces behind prefabrication, high-lighting ways in which applied logic and design efficiency result in lower costs, quicker construction time, higher-quality buildings, and environmentally smarter use of resources. The Andersons outline six different construction approaches common to current prefabrication practice - panelized 2x4, CNC timber framing, precast and panelized concrete systems, steel framing, sandwich panels, and modular systems - exploring potentials and appropriate applications for each,…
