Prefabrication and modular construction provide significant efficiencies and improvements in the construction industry. The adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) provides enhanced benefits wherein more than 50% of the BIM users credit prefabrication with enhanced schedule performance and more than 40% credit it for cost performance. The adoption of BIM boosts the prefabrication and modular process to accelerate the design and build absolute certainty for the entire project. General contractors and developers are increasingly adopting prefabrication or modular construction to mitigate various challenges like labor shortage,rework, cost and time overruns.

Formwork allows structures to be built and erected quickly. The application of formwork can be applied to solid structures, structures that require bespoke functions, structure reconstruction, etc. It has gained significant potential and is certainly the most popular form of construction on a cost and design front.
