prefab construction

Manufactured off-site structure

Prefab construction is building with components manufactured off-site and assembled at the final location.

Walls, floors, and roof sections arrive ready to install, reducing on-site labor and construction time.

The term covers everything from modular homes to factory-built commercial buildings: Prefab construction cut the project timeline in half.
