Safe From the Start

Autodesk Construction Cloud

Prefabrication has been transformative in improving worksite safety and mak ing on-site assembly come together quickly with less on-site labor and fewer moving parts, people, and vehicles. Prefabricating much of a data center’s MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) infrastructure has been another huge win.
