Abstract
Abstract In recent years, a slow change towards prefabrication has been observed in the construction sector. An increasing amount of construction work is done off site. The benefits of such arrangements are noted, as it results in the construction of better-quality buildings and can lead to lowering a project’s overall carbon footprint. These changes concern every stage of construction and nearly every material solution, including external walls made from concrete panels. The objective of this study was to develop and present a classification of concrete prefabricated elements in terms of their structural properties and to determine which of these elements are most often used in the design of housing. The study found that structural sandwich elements and cladding panels were among the most popular technologies.
