factory-built
Made off-site
Factory-built describes something manufactured in a factory rather than constructed on-site or by hand.
The term often appears with housing: a factory-built home arrives in sections ready for assembly, contrasting with traditional stick-built construction.
They opted for a factory-built modular home to save time and money.
