What are the advantages and disadvantages of a precast concrete construction?

Most prefab homes are constructed primarily of wood. Yet prefabricated concrete housing is gaining ground. Prefabricated concrete constructions consist of large-format concrete elements manufactured under perfectly controlled conditions before being brought to the site where they are assembled using special junctions. What are the advantages and disadvantages of a prefabricated concrete house?

Advantages

– It is a solid and stable construction that resists very well time.

– It allows a quick build. After just seven weeks, the house is airtight and watertight.

– The level of insulation and tightness are excellent thanks to the fact that the complete coating is manufactured by a company. In addition, we use large elements that fit together perfectly.

– It provides pleasant comfort inside, thanks to an unparalleled thermal inertia.

– Precast concrete offers great freedom of interior design, associated with a large outward opening and a relatively large span of freestanding concrete elements.

– The accommodation is sober and elegant without visible beams, bars and lintels.

– The underground is habitable thanks to the walls perfectly sealed and isolated.

– The technical equipment is devoid of grooves: the circuit breakers and the pipes are integrated into the formwork of the prefabricated walls.

– The interior completion is smooth and elegant, without plastering.

disadvantages

– The construction system lends itself much less to a more classical and traditional architecture.

– The placement of a heavy facade cladding (brick, natural stone …) entails considerable costs, especially for thicker foundations and window lintels.

– The integration of a large number of technical equipment in prefabricated panels forces you to make decisions in the creation phase. Modifications during the work are virtually impossible without paying a lot of money.

– The followers of ecological architecture appreciate less, even if the concrete is entirely recyclable.
