Interstates Construction looks at each one of our projects to find the most innovative way of building the job. We go into the project with the attitude that everything can be prefabricated.

Coupled with our aggressive pre-job planning methods, significant labor can be accomplished in the shop and away from the site.

• Major Time Savings
  With key components assembled off-site in advance, the amount of time spent on a project can be reduced from weeks to days, which shortens the schedule for the customer. Because much of the work takes place in a controlled environment, there are also no weather-related delays to contend with. This all equates to labor savings.
  
  
• Drives Planning
  Allows for the Project Manager and Prefabrication Manager to review the drawings, make changes, and plan ahead.
  
  
• Scheduling
  Prefabrication can be built and stored ahead of schedule.
  
  
• Reduced Labor Costs
  By using manufacturing methods, special tooling, and production controls, labor savings are achieved. 
  
  
• Better Working Conditions
  A safe, climate-controlled area with tools and material at hand reduces distractions and work stoppage and produces efficiency.
  
  
• Quality
  Products built in a controlled environment with consistent methods should have fewer errors. Prefabrication also allows for forced planning and pretesting of components before installation.
  
  
• Standardization
  Prefabrication products and installation methods create company-wide standards for materials and methods.
  
  
• Safety
  Preventing exposure to hazardous situations is a cornerstone of a good safety program. Prefabrication takes a significant portion of the hazardous element out of construction.

  During prefabrication, crews aren’t working on elevated platforms, they don’t work around dangerous operating equipment, and they experience less exposure to potentially hazardous situations.

  In this safe environment, prefabrication teams have the right tools at-hand and can get the job done under controlled conditions. This is the optimal formula for project success.

• Increased Field Productivity
  Reduces manpower installation time in the field because a greater part of the work is completed in the prefabrication shop.
  
  
• Control
  Project Supervisors can focus more attention on reduced man-hours onsite, making them even more effective. Less field personnel equals more control.
  
  
• Reduced Risk on Many Elements
