Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
This occupation involves transporting housing panels produced in factories to the site and assembling them using cranes and tools.
Description
Prefab house panel assemblers (excluding carpenters) transport panels such as walls, floors, and ceilings manufactured in factories to the site, hoist them using cranes or forklifts, and install them in designated positions. They fix each panel using bolts, nuts, sealing materials, etc., perform insulation and airtight treatment, and seal gaps between panels. They must check the site's ground conditions and structural drawings to ensure safe and accurate assembly. Much of the work is outdoors, requiring physical strength to handle heavy objects. Coordination with multiple trades and knowledge of tool handling are also essential.
Future Outlook
Due to needs for reduced construction man-hours and shorter construction periods in housing, the prefab method is expected to have stable demand, while there is a possibility of advancement in equipment automation and robotization.
