The construction boom in India is developing at a fast rate of growth. For fast growing population, it is essential to construct more residential units with lesser cost and lesser time. Reduction in cost of structure is made by several ways and one such way is to use prefabrication techniques. To reduce the overall cost and to greatly reduce the construction time of buildings, prefabricated units are adopted. In the present study, the G+3 conventional and prefabricated multistoreyed building is analyzed and designed. For both structures, the quantities and cost have been estimated and comparision is made for effective construction methodology. Also duration of project has been estimated in both cases and compared. The building is analyzed and designed in STAAD Pro software and project scheduling and duration is evaluated by MS PROJECT (MSP) software. By using Prefab Technology, reduction in cost can be achieved within less time. Construction cost of prefabricated structure is slightly more than conventional structure. But the time duration required for prefabricated construction is less as compared to conventional structure.
