preconstructed

Built before delivery

Preconstructed describes something built or assembled in advance, ready for use without further construction.

The term appears most often in gaming contexts, where a preconstructed deck is a ready-to-play set of cards sold as a complete unit: I started with a preconstructed deck before building my own.

More broadly, preconstructed can describe any prefabricated structure or system.
