prefab housing
Manufactured dwelling units
Prefab housing is residential construction using components manufactured off-site and assembled at the building location.
The term covers everything from modular homes to kit houses.
Prefab carries connotations of cheapness or uniformity, though modern prefab can be architecturally distinctive: They opted for prefab housing to cut construction time in half.
