In this era of recyclability and building more sustainably, how can architects, engineers, and designers help their builders and general contractors succeed in this matter? To the greatest extent possible, specify architectural products that are custom fabricated 100% offsite (custom prefabricated), and delivered to the Jobsite ready-to-be-installed.
Due to its durability, recyclability, and resistance to corrosion stainless steel is the preferred choice for products and structures that require little maintenance and long lifespan.
Offsite fabrication of architectural products contributes to building sustainability by allowing the builder/general contractor to install the product themselves while dramatically reducing product waste & cost and improving quality since there’s no need for a Local Metal Fabricator.
Learning Objectives:
- Explain the differences and advantages of architectural railing products built onsite vs those fabricated 100% offsite.
- Recognizing the difference in quality between stainless steel railing systems.
- Evaluating how the principles of Offsite fabrication of architectural products can influence other product choices you make for your projects.
- Discover the Resilience of 100% Stainless Steel railing systems.
