prefabricated homes

Assembled offsite residences

Prefabricated homes are houses whose components are manufactured in a factory, then transported to a building site for assembly.

The approach ranges from modular sections to complete structures: They ordered a prefabricated home and had it delivered in three pieces.

Often shortened to prefab homes or simply prefabs.

The term sometimes carries associations with cheapness or uniformity, though modern prefabs can be architecturally sophisticated.
