prefab homes
Ready-made residential structures
Prefab homes are houses manufactured in sections at a factory, then transported to a building site for assembly.
The term covers modular homes, manufactured homes, and kit houses.
Prefab construction typically costs less and moves faster than traditional building: They ordered a prefab home and moved in three months later.
Once associated with cheap postwar housing, prefab has gained respectability as architects embrace factory precision and sustainable materials.
