ELIGE MADERA Prefabrication with wood is here to stay and its use is growing all over the world. Here are some reasons why. Efficiency, environmental advantages, inspiration and innovation are concepts that are found in every project. Efficiency, environmental advantages, inspiration and innovation are concepts that are found in every project. We all know that wood construction has many benefits, right? Imagine what the wooden prefabricated structures industry can achieve: establishing better quality controls, building inside a plant with better waste emission... The materials are biodegradable, recyclable, non-toxic and they also capture CO2. Incredible! "Prefabricated and modular buildings are at the forefront of innovative construction techniques," reads the 2021 Timber Trends report, which emphasizes the use of digital tools (3D or CNC modeling) as essential to process effectiveness, since "significant improvements in cost, schedule, quality and safety performance, productivity, customer satisfaction and waste reduction are achieved.” “Modular construction can speed up construction times by up to 50% and reduce costs by 20%," according to the same report. Niuform Niuform specializes in innovative timber structures and solutions, focusing on delivering new prefabricated solutions through CLT and Glulam. One example of this is the MSporthorses Stables, a stable for 14 horses that took only 45 days to build. Although the timber prefabrication industry has been talked about for decades, it’s only in recent years that the Chilean market and the 16 Chilean companies dedicated to timber prefabrication began to be well known. It’s clear that this is a market that will continue to grow and there’s no doubt that brands like Niuform will continue to innovate to face this future and become a pacesetter.
