Prefabricated buildings

CPC v2.1 Code: 3870

About prefabricated buildings

cpc code 3870 covers the production of prefabricated buildings, a crucial component of the construction industry. These modular structures are manufactured off-site and then assembled at the final location, offering a range of benefits such as faster construction times, improved quality control, and enhanced energy efficiency. Prefabricated buildings play a significant role in the broader economy, catering to the growing demand for affordable, sustainable, and adaptable housing and commercial spaces.

Production process

The production of prefabricated buildings typically involves a series of standardized steps. First, the building components, such as walls, floors, and roofs, are manufactured in a controlled factory environment using advanced techniques like computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). These components are then transported to the construction site and assembled using specialized equipment and skilled labor, ensuring a seamless and efficient installation process.

Production inputs

The prefabricated building industry relies on a range of raw materials, including 3211 Wood, 3272 Concrete, 3273 Glass, and 3274 Steel. Additionally, the industry utilizes specialized machinery and equipment, such as CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines, cranes, and assembly tools, to ensure the precise and efficient production of building components.

Production outputs

The primary output of the prefabricated building industry is, of course, the prefabricated buildings themselves. These structures are then consumed by various other industries, such as 4200 Construction, 5311 Real estate, and 7211 Temporary accommodation, which incorporate them into their respective projects and developments.
