A Case (Study) for Off-Site Construction in Home Building

The Pro Builder

Off-site or industrialized construction methods potentially offer multiple advantages beyond a quieter jobsite and provide a path to build single-family homes much faster with a good framing crew. he was struck by an eerie silence. No cutting (or recutting) of materials required, hence the notable lack of any construction din.
