This construction method utilizes precast concrete with smart mechanical joints, enabling rapid assembly of diverse building types, including houses and schools, while ensuring earthquake resistance. It allows for creative architectural designs without compromising structural integrity, incorporating earthquake protection devices within the connections for enhanced safety. The system's prefabrication significantly reduces construction time, manpower, and future renovation efforts, as components are easily disassembled and reassembled. Its use in the education, housing, new township development, defense, and ad-hoc industries highlights its versatility. This sustainable approach not only saves time but also promotes the reuse of materials.
