Prefab Case Studies
January 25, 2023
Prefab is becoming more and more common in the MEP industry due to its efficiency and success with many different companies. By using prefab, companies are able to save both time and money as well as complete incredible projects.
Here are a few examples of how well-known construction organizations that are using prefabricated construction methods to deliver top-tier projects:
Cupertino Electric
Cupertino Electric is a trusted electrical contractor based out of San Jose, California. They used prefabrication to improve efficiency and quality is the construction of the San Francisco 49ers Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Cupertino Electric was able to deliver the 1.8 million square-foot project ahead of schedule by leveraging prefab. Many of the electrical systems for the stadium were composed off-site, which allowed them to complete the work more quickly and with fewer errors.
The Baker Group
The Baker Group is well-known in the mechanical contractor industry for their high-quality commercial projects. In 2017 they opened Baker Group Advanced Manufacturing, a 144,000 square-foot prefab facility. And every year since they continue to invest in the facilities and increase their use of prefab.
One example of how they are using their prefab shop is to create plumbing systems. Baker Group can build the plumbing system off-site, then perform hydro-tests to ensure the quality of the build. Waste water is also tested before the assembly is broken into several pieces for deliver to the job.
Rosendin Electric
Rosendin Electric, one of the largest electrical contractors in the U.S, understands the benefits of prefab. Their prefabrication and BIM teams work closely together to quickly bring digital models to life with quality build. They aim to have 50% of components prefabricated on any given project.
In 2021, Rosendin completely renovated the 900,000 sq. ft. space at the G30 Whittle School in Washington D.C. With the power of prefab they were able to complete and install over 570,000 sq. ft. of lighting, fire alarm systems, and power infrastructures in just 22 months.
