Simplified Prefab Production

Manu Prefab Construction, Dominical Costa Rica

The Benefits

  • Modular shop production can achieve 50% to 75% less waste than the equivalent site-built home through precision cutting and storage capacity.
  • Construction of the frames under roof minimizes time on the job site in the rainy season. In Costa Rica the most important thing is to get the roof on as quick as possible since we have only 4 month of dry season. With the prefabrication we are not depended anymore on the elements and can produce with the same speed and quality every day. The prefab frame can be raised in a couple weeks including the roof.
  • We exceed structural requirements in Costa Rica by using hidden fasteners which help to create a stronger frame.
  • More predictability in time and cost.
  • Controlled shop construction means higher quality.
  • Worker repetition means worker specialization.
  • Time frame is greatly reduced.
  • Less impact on the building site.
  • Less risk of time lost and theft on site.
