Kojo has launched Kojo Prefab, a prefabrication service that connects contractors’ prefab shops to their overall businesses.

Kojo, the top materials and inventory management platform in the construction industry, has launched Kojo Prefab, a prefabrication service that connects contractors’ valuable prefab shops to their overall businesses, maximising their prefab investment.

Over 60 percent of trade contractors use prefabrication in their building processes. Kojo Prefab addresses this demand by providing improved productivity, quality control, safety performance, and cost predictability. Field teams can easily order prefab assemblies and track their status on Kojo’s mobile app.

Dany Blankenship, a prefab manager at United Electric, said, “As our prefab shop grew, we turned sharpie drawings into digital PDFs, but no one was using them, and they were impossible to maintain. Kojo’s Prefab not only digitises, but the goal is for our teams to use Kojo to communicate what prefab materials are available, create POs, and track deliveries—just like ordering a pizza.”

“Prefab is at the top of contractors’ minds as they struggle with siloed teams and analogue processes,” said Maria Davidson, CEO and founder of Kojo. “They’re increasing investments in prefabrication shops because they see the efficiency, quality control, and long-term savings that come with building offsite instead of on job sites. Kojo Prefab also provides insight into how prefab directly impacts job costing.” 

Kojo Prefab customers have:

Contractors can optimise their prefab investments, reduce labour costs in the field, and prevent costly miscommunication, leading to increased savings.

Field teams can now conveniently order prefab materials directly from the Kojo mobile app, ensuring better collaboration and tracking of their progress until delivery.

Prefab digitalisation allows teams to upload custom images and communicate production updates across them in a flexible and customisable manner.

Prefab is now available as part of Kojo’s expanded suite of features, which also include procurement, inventory management, tool tracking, and accounts payable, depending on the customer’s unique needs. 

Kojo’s expansion in prefabrication represents the company’s mission to provide an all-in-one materials management platform for commercial construction. More than 25,000 construction professionals trust the Kojo platform to help them manage projects across 48 states.
