The Future of Construction: Innovative Prefabrication Trends
The construction industry is witnessing a transformative shift with the rise of emerging technologies and methods in prefabricated (prefab) construction. These advancements are addressing the urgent need for rapid and sustainable building solutions through innovative practices that redefine efficiency and design in construction.
Trends in Prefabricated Construction
Several cutting-edge methods are shaping the prefab construction industry, both globally and in India. Some of the major methods are:
Light Gauge Steel Framing (LGSF)
LGSF uses cold-formed steel as the primary structural element or frame to provide strength, durability, and flexibility. The frames are made based on the design of the required structure, which form the core of the construction. Fibre-cement and gypsum boards are mounted inside and outside these frames to create walls. This method is ideal for constructing buildings quickly and efficiently, with reduced waste and enhanced sustainability. Nest-In from the house of Tata Steel offers LGSF construction under HabiNest category, which can be built 2x faster than Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) structures, and can be used for office buildings, residences, hospitals, schools, and more.
Read about the differences between LGSF and RCC construction methods here.
Modular Construction
Modular construction involves the production of ready and complete spaces in a factory. These ready structures are then transported to the site for installation, and electrical and plumbing connections are done. These modular structures are plug-and-play (ready to use) solutions. Nest-In offers MobiNest solutions, a range of modular plug-and-play structures such as boardrooms, offices, clinics, and more. These modular spaces are built 2x faster than RCC structures, can be fully customised, and are suitable to be installed in tough terrains.

Pre-engineered Buildings (PEB)
PEB involves the design and manufacture of pre-engineered metal structures that are assembled on-site. The engineering of the structure takes place before its fabrication, which increases the speed of the construction. This method is highly customisable, making it suitable for a variety of applications, from industrial facilities to commercial buildings. Nest-In has successfully used the PEB method to fulfil unique customer requirements. A notable example is the construction of training institutes for ITI Karnataka and Assam.
These methods have contributed significantly to making construction practices modernised, sustainable, and uncompromising on quality. Unlike traditional construction practices that are harsh on the natural environment, use large volumes of natural resources, and are not durable enough to withstand disasters, prefab construction focuses more on sustainable practices through minimised usage of natural resources, efficient utility of the structure, and sturdiness in the face of natural disasters.
Embracing Prefabricated Construction Methods with Nest-In
In India, the adoption of these methods is steadily increasing, driven by the need for rapid urbanisation and sustainable development. Nest-In from the house of Tata Steel is a leading provider of prefabricated construction solutions that cater to diverse business, government, and individual needs across India, thus contributing to a more sustainable future.
Nest-In uses LGSF, modular, PEB, hybrid construction, and 3D volumetric construction methods to build safe and sturdy structures two times faster than RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) buildings.
