Editing Prefabrication (section)

==Advantages==
* Moving partial assemblies from a factory often costs less than moving pre-production resources to each site
* Deploying resources on-site can add costs; prefabricating assemblies can save costs by reducing on-site work
* Factory tools - jigs, cranes, conveyors, etc. - can make production faster and more precise
* Factory tools - shake tables, hydraulic testers, etc. - can offer added quality assurance
* Consistent indoor environments of factories eliminate most impacts of weather on production
* Cranes and reusable factory supports can allow shapes and sequences without expensive on-site [[falsework]]
* Higher-precision factory tools can aid more controlled movement of building heat and air, for lower energy consumption and healthier buildings
* Factory production can facilitate more optimal materials usage, recycling, noise capture, dust capture, etc.
* Machine-mediated parts movement, and freedom from wind and rain can improve construction safety
* Homogeneous manufacturing allows high standardization and quality control, ensuring quality requirements subject to performance and resistance tests, which also facilitate high scalability of construction projects. <ref>{{cite journal | url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2210670722004450 | doi=10.1016/j.scs.2022.104132 | title=Quantitative study on external benefits of prefabricated buildings: From perspectives of economy, environment, and society | journal=Sustainable Cities and Society | date=November 2022 | volume=86 | last1=Zhou | first1=Jingyang | last2=Li | first2=Yonghan | last3=Ren | first3=Dandan | bibcode=2022SusCS..8604132Z | url-access=subscription }}</ref>
* The specific production processes in industrial assembly lines allow high sustainability, which enables savings of up to 20% of the total final cost, as well as considerable savings in indirect costs. <ref>[https://www.hydrodiseno.com/why-choose-modular-construction/ Why Choose Modular Construction?] Hydrodiseno.com. 2021-07-29.
