At Fabutek, we recognize that the success of any prefab project depends on precise and innovative design executed efficiently. Downtime is costly for prefab producers; therefore, in order to keep the manufacturing line running, designs must be developed fast without sacrificing accuracy. As prefab housing is a relatively new industry in North America, mastering the complex software needed for manufacturing can be challenging. Training in-house designers and keeping them occupied full-time can be costly. Fabutek addresses these issues by providing innovative and flexible design services on an as-needed basis.
Fabutek has dedicated years to innovating and crafting our proprietary prefab design process, guiding projects from start to finish. We have invested significant effort into developing connection details, pioneering envelope designs, and mastering the use of digital design software. If you are entering the prefab industry, we aim to support you with our insights and innovations to expedite your success. With over ten years of experience working with clients from varying locations, we are uniquely positioned to meet your needs no matter where you are. Currently, we are actively supporting clients across North America.

Fabutek has expertise collaborating with you to create standardized designs that are effective for reproduction. These designs are a great approach to reduce costs, speed up preconstruction timelines, and give your clients a more straightforward design process. Our extensive technical expertise in home construction and many years of experience in the construction industry have given us the ability to create designs that attract sales and help secure a steady flow of work to feed your production line.
One common situation we can help with is when a prospective client presents you with an architectural design that was made with traditional site assembly methods in mind. Be assured that we deal with these kinds of situations regularly, and we can work with you in the very beginning to evaluate whether it would be feasible to adapt the design for effective prefabrication. To help you create an early-stage cost estimate for your prospective client, we offer a cost-effective feasibility analysis that illustrates how we may panelize the building and provide quantity data. Our early-stage design can take into account proprietary panel build-ups and structural engineering needs for an even higher degree of detail, depending on the amount of detail that is available.

As design technology progresses, numerous software options are utilized in the field of off-site construction. To enhance efficiency and collaboration, we excel in sharing data through IFC technology. We can import design work from architects or engineers into our software, eliminating the need for inefficient remodeling. Additionally, we can share our work back, enabling effective communication with all parties involved in the design and manufacturing process. If you lack design software or the expertise to use it, that's not an issue; we export our work in a viewable file format accessible to anyone through a web browser.

To manufacture off-site-built buildings successfully, the shop needs to have high-quality documentation. Because Fabutek designers are builders and tradespeople, we know how to create shop drawings that clearly communicate and detail information on a level that tradespeople will appreciate. The same is true of our assembly-based design methodology. We have the knowledge needed to make the installation as straightforward to construct as possible.
Overall, Fabutek provides manufacturers with a comprehensive solution for integrating engineering, architecture, and fabrication in an effort to streamline the production of off-site-built structures. We want to talk about how we can help you, whether you are a traditional builder searching for different options, an entrepreneur thinking about entering the prefab space, or an experienced manufacturer trying to optimize your process.
