Most work is on the ground - there is no vertical formwork, no scaffolding, since walls are constructed horizontally. In addition, since the floor slab is poured first, workers have a safer working surface.
Labor crews are smaller - without vertical forming, or other costly erection processes, few workers are needed, especially during the lifting operation. The short project cycle presents less opportunity for accidents.
