With the emergence of the concept of precast, there has been a lot of debate about which one is better and which will stay the course of time.
While both offer distinct advantages, seeing how precast will outpace the conventional method is essential.

As a leader and pioneer in the precast industry, Fuji Silvertech produces high-quality precast products, sustainable solutions, and innovative technology. Let’s compare precast and conventional construction methods, focusing on their ability to provide reliable, efficient, and environmentally friendly solutions for infrastructure projects.

Factors	Precast Construction	Conventional Construction
Speed and Efficiency	Faster construction due to off-site manufacturing and parallel work	Construction timelines can be longer due to on-site activities
Quality Control	A controlled factory environment ensures consistent quality	Quality control can be more challenging due to on-site variables
Design Flexibility	Customisable components allow for greater architectural freedom	Limited design flexibility and complex designs can be very challenging
Durability and Strength	High-quality materials result in robust and durable structures	Strong structures, but quality variations may occur
Construction Time	Reduced construction time due to parallel processes	Construction time can be longer due to on-site activities
Labour Intensity	Requires less on-site labour, reducing labour costs	Requires significant on-site labour, increasing labour costs
Customisation and Detailing	Intricate detailing and customisation are possible	Achieving complex designs may be more challenging
Suitability for Large-scale Projects	Well-suited for large-scale projects and infrastructure	Not really suitable for large-scale projects
Project Deadlines	Can help meet tight project deadlines	Construction timelines may require more flexibility
Site Limitations	Suitable for projects with limited on-site space	Cannot adapt to various site conditions and constraints

Choosing the correct method for your projects; proper research should be done before making a final choice.
