How to save money on prefabricated workshop buildings?
In today's rapidly developing manufacturing and logistics industries, prefabricated workshop buildings have become the preferred solution for factory expansion and warehouse upgrades due to their advantages such as short construction cycles, high space utilization, and strong customization. However, how to reduce construction costs while ensuring quality remains the focus of attention for enterprises. This article will deeply analyze the six cost saving techniques for prefabricated workshop construction, with a focus on the cost-effectiveness advantages of steel structure workshops. Combined with Canglong Group's innovative solutions, it will help you achieve your construction goals of "low cost, high return".
Ⅰ. The Four Core Cost Control Points of Prefabricated Workshop Buildings
1. Design optimization
Modular design: using standardized components and parameterized modeling to reduce steel loss caused by irregular structures (Canglong Group case: a certain automotive parts workshop reduced steel waste rate to below 2% through modular design, with an industry average of 5% -8%).
BIM technology application: Simulate the construction process in advance, avoid on-site rework risks, and save about 15% of labor costs.
2. Material selection
Replacing concrete with steel: Steel structure workshops have light weight, strong seismic resistance, and a recycling rate of up to 90%, with low long-term maintenance costs.
Application of high-strength steel: Q355B and above strength steel is used to reduce the cross-sectional size of components and lower transportation and lifting costs.
3. Industrial production
Automated cutting and welding: German imported CNC equipment achieves millimeter level precision, reducing manual intervention and error rework.
Intelligent recycling system for surplus materials: Cutting surplus materials are automatically classified and stored, with a secondary utilization rate of over 85%.
4. Supply chain and logistics integration
Localized procurement+global resource allocation: Canglong Group relies on the global steel procurement network to reduce material procurement costs by 10% -15%.
Pre installation package design: Workshop enclosure panels, purlins, and other components are pre installed before leaving the factory, increasing on-site installation efficiency by 50%.
II. Three major cost saving tools for steel structure workshops
1. Lightweight structural design to reduce foundation costs
The steel structure workshop can reduce the cost of foundation treatment due to its light weight. For example, Canglong Group designed a 2000 square meter workshop for a logistics enterprise, with a foundation depth reduced by 40% compared to concrete structures, saving over 200000 yuan in earthwork costs.
2. Shortened construction period and sharp decrease in financial costs
The main construction period of the steel structure workshop is shortened by 60% compared to traditional buildings, which helps enterprises to start production ahead of schedule. Taking a workshop with an annual output value of 50 million yuan as an example, starting production three months in advance can create an additional 12.5 million yuan in revenue.
Canglong Group adopts an integrated model of "design production construction" to avoid the risk of delays caused by multi-party coordination.
3. Full lifecycle cost advantage
Low maintenance cost: dual protection of hot-dip galvanized anti-corrosion layer and fireproof coating, with a service life of over 30 years, and an average annual maintenance cost of only one-third of that of concrete structures.
Energy saving adaptability: Reserved photovoltaic bracket interface, no major structural changes required for future upgrades of clean energy systems.
III. Canglong Group Solution
1. Customized cost estimation tool
By inputting parameters such as workshop area, span, and load, the system automatically generates the optimal design solution and cost list to avoid excessive design.
2. Dynamic inventory+on-demand production mode
For small and medium-sized customers, Canglong provides partial component pre production and on-site assembly services to reduce the pressure of capital occupation.
3. Global delivery network to avoid hidden costs
Cross border logistics guarantee: For overseas projects, we provide multiple delivery terms FOB/CIF, covering customs clearance, land transportation, and installation guidance.
Localized service team: Set up service centers in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and other regions to reduce travel and communication costs.
Ⅳ. Canglong Group helps Southeast Asian customers save 30% on workshop construction costs
In 2023, Canglong constructed a 15000 square meter steel structure workshop for an electronics factory in Thailand. By using modular design to reduce steel usage by 12% and adopting a combination of localized welding and Chinese made components, logistics costs have been reduced by 18%, resulting in a 30% savings in total cost compared to traditional contractors. The construction period has been reduced from 8 months to 5 months.
Conclusion
The cost saving logic of prefabricated workshop construction is essentially the combination of technical standardization and resource intensification. Canglong Group focuses on steel structure workshops and provides enterprises with "cost-effective and worry free" construction solutions through intelligent manufacturing, supply chain optimization, and global services. Whether it's building a new workshop or renovating an old factory, Canglong can customize the optimal solution.
