Speedy Prefab Building Systems

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Using a Prefab System, the One9 Building Went Up in Just Five Days

— April 30, 2014 — Eco
If you lived in Melbourne and were away for the five days it took to construct the One9 building, it would have been a total shocker to return and see that a brand new apartment complex had somehow appeared up during your absence.

The One9 is a fairly ordinary building with a total of nine levels, with a combination of 34 one and two bedroom apartments. The remarkably fast construction time of the building can be attributed to the Hickory Building Systems' prefab system, which is designed to speed up the "onsite and offsite construction programs by up to 50%." It isn't called a modular system, because the units aren't fixed in size and although the One9 is small, this system is said to be able to handle 70 storey constructions as well.

As well as being incredibly speedy, the system reduces material and energy waste in addition to increasing the quality and safety of the build.
Trend Themes
1. Speedy Prefab Construction - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing advanced prefab building systems that can significantly reduce construction time and increase efficiency.
2. Modular Building Technology - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating versatile modular systems that can be customized for different building sizes and purposes, allowing for faster and more flexible construction processes.
3. Sustainable Construction Practices - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implementing eco-friendly construction methods and materials that reduce waste, conserve energy, and enhance the overall quality and safety of buildings.
Industry Implications

2. Real Estate - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrating speedy prefab construction methods to meet the rising demand for affordable and efficient housing solutions.
3. Architecture - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborating with prefab building system developers to create innovative and sustainable architectural designs that can be constructed rapidly.
