Planning for More Productivity
Streamline projects from the start with Virtual Design Construction (VDC) and Prefabrication Services
Construction projects have enough challenges like scheduling, labor shortages, and material management. That's why we offer VDC, BIM-based design, and prefabrication services to help boost productivity before your project even hits the jobsite.
By partnering with you from a project's inception, we can integrate into your digital workflows to help optimize design and material costs, customize supports, and connect BIM coordinates to real-world points on the jobsite. With Hilti, you can reduce installation time, rework, and waste, allowing your projects to start smoother and remain more productive throughout.
What are Hilti Prefabrication Services?
At Hilti we offer solutions from BIM-based design to the validation/documentation of your cable and pipe supports. We know the challenges construction projects face when it comes to timeline and space constraints, skilled labor costs and shortages, accident risks, material waste and transportation costs.
Ordering, cutting and assembling hundreds of supports for piping, HVAC and cable trays on the jobsite represents a huge challenge. A lot of time is spent sorting all the small components needed, not to mention storing, transporting and cutting all the strut channels to length before finally installing them on your jobsite.
Our off-site prefabrication services, carried out by specialists in our Prefabrication Centers, are designed to tackle these challenges – helping to improve your productivity by reducing costs and installation time while also bringing higher quality standards.
Full pre-assembly of customized trapezes, cantilevers, goal posts and multi-trade supports; kitting the right components; and cutting strut channels to length are how our prefabrication services help you to save time and money on your project.
Prefabrication of modular support systems
How pre-assembly, kitting and cutting services get cable/pipe supports to site, ready to install
On-site production and installation of modular support systems may result in issues like project overages, budget overruns, material storage challenges and waste, or even accidents. Hilti’s prefabrication services can help you avoid them all with up to 50% less installation time and up to 20% less material waste.
Benefits of Hilti's Prefabrication Services
