Problems in India
Affordable Housing system is the need of today
The Ministry of Housing
estimated a housing
shortage of 20 million
houses ,with 99 percent
in the economically
weaker and lower income
groups.

Introduction
“The partly/fully assembled and erected building, of
which the structural parts consist of pre-fabricated
individual units or assemblies using ordinary or
controlled materials, including service facilities; and
in which the service equipment may be either
prefabricated or constructed in-situ”.

Prefabrication in India
Emergence of Hindustan Housing Factory in 1950s
Partially prefabricated system developed by CSIR-CBRI joist and plank system in Early 1980’s
Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna (PMAY) launched on 25th June 2015

Pre-cast RC Planks & Joist System The floor / roof is constructed with precast RC
joist and precast RC planks.
The size of precast RC plank is 300 mm wide x 30
to 60 mm thick x up to max. 1500 mm long;
precast RC joists 150x150 mm in cross-section
and up to 4.2 m long.
The components are produced on casting
platform at construction site.
As soon as the walls reach the floor/roof level, the
components are created, and partly filled with
concrete to form the floor\ roof.
This results 20% saving in overall cost, 25% in
cement and 10% in steel as compared to
conventional R.C. slab floor/roof.

Prefabrication: A Sustainable Approach
Sustainability: Meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations.
Prerequisites :
Judicial use of construction materials there by
conservation of natural resources.
Use of products that avoid toxic or other emissions.
Reduction in waste materials during construction &
utilizing C & D wastes in construction.
Reducing emissions during the production of
construction materials.
CSIR-Central Building Research Institute, Roorkee-247 667, INDIA
Prefabrication: A Sustainable Approach
Using more durable materials in buildings thereby
requiring lesser maintenance cost.
Use of energy efficient building materials and
products that save energy or water .
Use of products that contribute to a safe, healthy
built environment.
Use of materials which can be recycled.
Use of construction system minimizing air, water
and noise pollution during construction.
CSIR-Central Building Research Institute, Roorkee-247 667, INDIA
Advantages
Faster construction and low labour costs.
Prefabrication allows for year-round construction.
Mechanization in prefabricated construction
ensures precise conformity to building code
standards and greater quality assurance;
Less on-site waste ,reduced by about 40%(Vivian et
al. 2006).
Less theft of material/equipment.
less property damage due to vandalism.
CSIR-Central Building Research Institute, Roorkee-247 667, INDIA
Worker safety higher.
Computerization in production process.
Quality control and factory sealing.
More comfortable work environment.
Improvement in efficiency and productivity of work
force.
Prefab companies are more likely to have quality-
control programs implemented into their
manufacturing process (Phil Mitchell 2009).
