The "Modular and Prefabricated Construction" course in Pakistan introduces students to the innovative techniques that are transforming the construction industry. Modular and prefabricated construction involves assembling components of a building in a factory setting before transporting them to the construction site for final assembly. This method offers significant advantages in terms of speed, cost-efficiency, and sustainability, as it reduces on-site construction time and minimizes material waste. The course covers the principles, design, and applications of modular and prefabricated systems, focusing on how these methods can streamline project timelines and meet the demand for affordable, high-quality housing and infrastructure. Through hands-on experience and real-world case studies, participants will learn to plan, design, and implement modular and prefabricated building solutions.
