In India, are prefabricated components costlier than those of traditional cast-in-situ items that the prefabricated components replace?
Yes, because of heavier overheads and handling cost
Yes, because of the very high order of quality control for the factory made components
No, because of repetitive manufacture of a number of elements
No, because of savings in site labour
Correct Answer :
C. No, because of repetitive manufacture of a number of elements
