The making of the prefabricated building’s

Phase 1: Design and Engineering

The company uses Auto CAD 2D, 3D, and rendering programs to prepare all of their drawings, including Architectural drawing, Construction drawings, Detailed onsite assembly drawings, 3D drawing for illustration.

Phase 2: Facilities and Materials

This stage entails the selection & processing of the woods and other building materials. Bali Prefab uses only the highest grade hardwoods such as Merbau wood and Bangkirai/ Balau wood. These timbers are naturally resistant to termites and have the equivalent of an F27 structural strength rating according to Australian standards.

The company is also fully certified with Sistem Verifikasi Legalitas Kayu (SVLK) translated to Timber Legality Assurance System in English, which means they only purchase woods that are legally harvested and allowed to be exported.

Once delivered to the factory, the timbers are processed to various stages with their machinery. Key items such as window and door timber, flooring, decking, and siding are sent to be kiln-dried.

Phase 3: Pre-Construction

The pre-construction stage includes prefabrication and erection of the timber frame structures at Bali Prefabs huge, undercover assembly factory area.

Before installation, each house/building component is machined, hand sanded and then pre-finished to protect the wood. They are then drilled, bolted and screwed together. Upon completion, all parts are labeled and the structure is disassembled for shipping purposes.

Phase 4: Finishing, Packing & Shipping

The 4th stage of the overall building process is the finishing, packing, and shipping of the tropical homes, villas, and structures to their final destination.

The ready components are then carefully packed with a layer of protective foam sheeting, and then packed with carton materials. The coding which is directly on the timber members is also applied to the packed component along with the building name and client’s name.

Phase 5: On-Site Supervision

Bali Prefab can send their supervisor overseas to oversee the assembling process of the prefab house. However, this phase is optional as the company compiles a detailed client manual coded to facilitate final reconstruction at the final destination.
