Prefab construction is redefining the building industry with its speed, efficiency, and quality. At Desert Sides International (DSI), a leading prefab manufacturer in Saudi Arabia, each structure is meticulously engineered using advanced technology and precision manufacturing. Here’s a step-by-step look at how a prefab building comes to life in DSI’s well-equipped yard.
1. Client Requirement & Design Consultation
Every project at DSI starts with a detailed consultation. Our engineering and sales team work closely with the client to understand the intended use, size, layout, insulation needs, electrical requirements, and special features. Using this input, our design team creates custom 2D/3D layouts and architectural drawings, incorporating structural integrity, climate considerations, and Saudi building codes.
2. Engineering & Material Planning
Once the design is finalized, our engineers prepare structural drawings and Bill of Quantities (BOQ). All required materials – including galvanized steel, insulation panels, flooring, electrical components, and accessories – are sourced, checked, and stored in the warehouse. DSI prioritizes quality raw materials, much of which is produced in-house to ensure consistency and cost-efficiency.
3. Steel Frame Fabrication
The structural backbone of the prefab unit begins with steel frame fabrication. At DSI’s yard, CNC machines and welding units cut, bend, and assemble the steel sections based on design specifications. Anti-rust coatings are applied to improve longevity and withstand harsh weather conditions.
4. Wall & Roof Panel Assembly
After the frame is prepared, wall panels are fabricated using PUF or EPS-insulated sandwich panels, offering thermal and acoustic insulation. These panels are cut to size and integrated with windows, doors, and ventilation systems. Roof panels are designed to handle load, drainage, and temperature control.
5. Electrical & Plumbing Works
The next step involves electrical wiring and plumbing installation, done as per the layout. Light fixtures, sockets, distribution boards, and switches are pre-installed, along with plumbing lines for toilets, sinks, or kitchenettes. All systems are tested before final assembly.
6. Flooring & Interior Finishing
DSI offers various flooring options such as vinyl, ceramic tiles, or marine plywood with PVC carpets, depending on the client's needs. Interior walls are fitted with PVC panels or painted boards for a clean, professional look. Air conditioning units, partitions, and furniture can be installed based on usage.
7. Quality Inspection & Testing
Each unit undergoes rigorous quality checks, including structural integrity, water leakage, insulation, and electrical safety testing. Our QC team ensures every prefab unit meets DSI's high standards and client specifications.
8. Transportation & On-Site Installation
Once complete, the cabin is either delivered as a whole or in modules to the project site. Our logistics team ensures safe handling and delivery, and DSI provides on-site installation, leveling, and final touch-ups for a ready-to-use solution.
Conclusion
Desert Sides International combines technology, skilled manpower, and strict quality control to deliver durable, efficient, and customized prefab buildings. From office cabins to residential units, DSI ensures fast-track construction without compromising on quality.
