  • Procédés de construction modernes
CONT

[...] on a parfois confondu "préfabrication" et "industrialisation" de la construction [...] l'industrialisation du bâtiment [...] c'est la mise en application des conditions optimales d'exécution des travaux de construction par une préparation méthodique de toutes les fonctions concernant l'art de bâtir. L'industrialisation se rapporte à la fois à la fabrication, à la manutention et à la mise en œuvre des matériaux, ainsi qu'à l'organisation scientifique des chantiers, au point de vue des programmes, des études préliminaires, de l'ordonnancement [...] La préfabrication apparaît dès lors comme un des moyens techniques (mais un moyen essentiel) qui permettent à l'industrialisation du bâtiment de prendre son essor.
