The desire for cost efficiencies across the construction sector is a feature of most building projects. This is especially important when projects are complex and require a range of M&E services or when projects demand outstanding value with a strict installation programme period. Off-site prefabrication can be an ideal solution in providing cost and installation programme efficiencies across many types of projects. Pre-fabrication can assist with consistency of build, quality and minimisation of risk as well as improving on-site safety, reducing the delay of other trades, improving project planning and reducing specialist labour requirements. SAS International is experienced in providing off-site prefabrication of a whole or part of the room comfort or architectural metalwork systems required in today’s modern buildings. SAS Modular Solutions offers a complete off-site services module fabrication service, which can contain ventilation duct work, potable hot & cold water, low temperature hot water heating, chilled water, natural gas, sprinkler pipe work, medical gas pipe work and electrical containment. This provides a fully integrated engineering solution by accommodating all building constraints and tolerances, while providing for the future maintenance and cleaning requirement of the services installed. Integrated Service Modules (ISM’s), which include a range of services as well as chilled beams and radiant heating panels, can also be fabricated off-site and installed quickly and cost efficiently reducing on-site labour costs and improving safety. BSRIA has highlighted that SAS International’s ISM’s take 25 percent less time to install than fan coil units suspended within a suspended ceiling. Our knowledge and expertise allows us to provide accurate planning and factory-built solutions that minimise on-site installation time, reducing labour costs and any possible delays in installing services. Our technical teams work with our customers to ensure that the pre-fabricated systems we provide are accurate, fully tested and fit for purpose before they arrive on-site, leading to fast and efficient installation and fitting with less on-site labour and working at height. |
