My company has been trying to increase the amount of prefab we do on jobs, but we didn’t know where to start. This book had everything we needed, from layout and templates, to labeling parts. We’ve started rolling out some of the suggestions the book gives for our own processes and have already seen improvement. I’d highly recommend this book to anyone trying to get into or improve prefab on their jobs.

If you have heard of prefab but not sure how to get started this is the book for you. Or maybe you do some prefab but not sure how to expand. This book will walk through the process of prefab, from design, layout in a shop, order forms for the field guys, to tracking it. It truly is an overall prefab handbook.
Easy read as well.
