However, the cost should always be evaluated against the value being protected and increased. <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Is a prefabricated industrial building more vulnerable?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many existing prefabricated buildings, especially older ones, present specific vulnerabilities that require targeted analysis and
