Explaining the unique advantages of prefab technology Ankleshwar Nanchahal, Director, Tinny Craft said, “Prefab technology saves time and money vis-à-vis conventional construction. Prefab structures are cost effective in hilly areas, projects sites and prohibited areas where conventional construction is not allowed. Since they can be re-used and re-located,
are ideal for road, mining and power projects.”

Tinny Craft has been providing a complete infrastructure to companies undertaking projects especially thermal, hydel, nuclear, and irrigation projects. Since these projects are in interior areas, basic infrastructure facilities are not available. Tinny Craft at this initial stage provide cabins which can be installed quickly as we use panels, trusses, predesigned false ceiling etc. The construction process becomes faster. Clients get their office spaces and accommodations instantly which enables comfortably operate and guide their workforces.

Future outlook
Nanchahal observes that there is much technological advancement yet to take place in the field of prefab construction as far as Indian market is concerned. He said, “Indian consumers at present apprehensive about this technology but with time and the government initiative, both commercial and residential structures can be shifted to prefab industry.”

Prefab can find solution for low cost housing and prefab infrastructures like hospitals, schools and offices in prefab construction.
