pre-build

Assemble in advance

Pre-build means to construct or assemble something before it's needed or before the main phase of a project begins.

In software and gaming, a pre-build is a compiled version of a program ready for testing before official release: The developers released a pre-build to catch bugs early.

In construction, pre-built components are manufactured off-site for later assembly.
