A rapid growth in the hospitality industry of India is observed as people continue to explore new destinations and travel extensively. Remote and secluded locations of India have become a subject of high footfall of visitors trying to discover hidden scenic gems of the country. The rise of remote tourism calls upon the need to produce comfortable, sustainable, and innovative accommodations.

Portraying a variety of beneficial factors like high speed of construction, reduction in construction waste, lower energy consumption, and a flexible planning approach, pre-engineered structures prove to be a viable solution for remote hospitality housing. These houses can be customized to seamlessly merge with the surrounding site context.

Keeping the importance of safeguarding the environment in mind, pre-engineered homes can incorporate various energy-efficient technologies, such as solar panels and rainwater harvesting systems to ensure the implementation of sustainable solutions.

Offering visitors, a well-planned, modern, and unique space for relaxation, pre-engineered structures can revolutionize the concept of high-end hospitality at the remote nooks and corners of the country.

CHALLENGES OF REMOTE HOSPITALITY IN INDIA

Enticing visitors from all over the world, India’s rich cultural heritage, showcased in a variety of diverse landscapes and regions, has made remote tourism immensely popular. However, certain setbacks pose a significant hurdle in the growth of hospitality accommodations in these secluded areas.

Infrastructure deficiencies and accessibility challenges have made the construction of traditional brick or concrete hotels significantly difficult in the remote regions. Transporting the huge quantities of construction material to the site increases the cost and becomes highly time-consuming. Transportation difficulties make traditional frame work construction a daunting task extensively prolonging the time period of construction.

BENEFITS OF PRE-ENGINEERED STRUCTURES

Pre-engineered structures become an apt solution for these challenges. Following a process of modular construction, separate prefabricated entities of the structure are manufactured in a factory, away from outdoor environmental exposure. An array of machines replaces the need for skilled labour leading to reduced labour cost. The manufactured modules are then transported to site and assembled efficiently developing durable and modern housing facilities.

Pre-engineered structures considerably eliminate the amount of time and infrastructure required for on-site construction, while simultaneously providing spacious and luxurious vacation homes.

Focusing on sustainability, prefabricated buildings consider the usage of environment-friendly materials, energy-saving techniques, and significant reduction in the waste generation. Primarily using steel as the construction material, factory workers can efficiently manage the quantity used in the production, consequently recycling the leftover material leading to sustainable byproducts. Recycled steel can be reused in other projects which fulfils the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) of environment preservation.

A flexible design approach helps in creating a wide palette of options for the construction of these spaces. Aligning effortlessly with the increase in the footfall of visitors, prefabricated structures can expand with ease by the addition of modules. Adapting to the natural surroundings and an audience of adventure-seeking enthusiasts, these homes seamlessly showcase modern aesthetics and intriguing amenities in a customizable design outcome.

FACTORS TO LOOK OUT FOR WHILE CHOOSING PRE-ENGINEERED DESIGNS

-          Detail Site Analysis and Assessment: Carefully studying the site conditions, including existing flora, fauna, soil type, weather statistics, and contextual factors, becomes paramount to plan accurate structures which can smoothly adapt to the surroundings.

 

-          Choice of materials: Selecting locally sourced materials becomes a priority to avoid long distance transportation costs, minimize the carbon footprint, and increase contextual relevance of the structure. Detail scrutiny of the materials by way of stress and load tests is imperative to understand the strength and increase the durability of these buildings.

 

-           Scalability of the design: The number of visitors frequenting remote locations is a fluctuating parameter, with unpredictable increase or decrease in the footfall. Considering this, a flexibility to add or deduct functional areas in the pre-engineered designs becomes necessary. The scale of the design should have a possibility of further exploration for future additions.

 

SUCCESSFUL EXAMPLES OF PRE-ENGINEERED RESORTS IN INDIA
