Remembering the Year’s Highlights – (read more)
In 2021, contractors increasingly turned to digital prefabrication for building solutions, which has helped push material- and time-saving innovation throughout the construction industry and kept us at Digital Building Components on our toes. With such an active year coming to a close, we want to reflect on all that’s been accomplished and share a few of the many projects we’ve been grateful to be a part of.

What’s Ahead for Digital Prefabrication in 2022? – (read more)
Digital prefabrication uses the precise nature of computers and equipment to assemble building components that are often higher quality and more cost effective than their traditionally constructed counterparts. These components can be manufactured as other onsite construction continues, accelerating timelines. Although digital prefabrication is on the cutting-edge of modular building, it has seen increased interest as a means to improve efficiency and sustainability while deepening the pool of skilled laborers. In fact, prefabrication is predicted to continue to grow steadily through 2028.

How a Prefab Approach Can Solve Common Jobsite Constraints – (read more)
From site-specific restrictions like noise ordinances to general issues like labor and material shortages, there are several impediments that can slow a construction project. In fact, the McKinsey Global Institute’s report indicates the construction industry lags behind other industries in terms of productivity. Much of this can be attributed to traditional jobsite operations. Four common construction constraints include:

The Proof is in the Numbers: 1,000 Days of Zero Safety Incidences – (read more)
Some of the most alarming statics in the construction industry center around safety incidences. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), approximately 20% of worker fatalities took place in the field of construction, “accounting for one in five worker deaths for the year.” Further underscoring jobsite risk, the accident rate is on average 71 percent higher than in other industries, resulting in workers’ compensation claims that hover around an estimated $2.5 billion.

The Power of Quality Control on Prefab Outcomes An Interview with Digital Building’s Quality Control Manager – (read more)
One of most desirable attributes of digital fabrication is that it ensures predictable outcomes. By transforming virtual models directly into precise-to-spec building components, materials are designed and fabricated to fit into the building architecture from a project’s onset. Exact components reduce the need for rework onsite. This, in turn, significantly improves product compatibility, install times and overall construction schedules.
