Prefabrication has a very long history. For example, after the second world war Prime Minister Winston Churchill saw the method as key to solving the UK’s housing crisis – which led to the construction of 150,000 prefabricated houses by 1951. Manufacturing off-site in a controlled environment is safer and more sustainable.

Modular construction, of course, means many of a building’s parts are prefabricated off-site for assembly onsite. The “industrial evolution” in construction hinges on the concept of offsite manufacturing. This approach got a bad rap for a time, with the expectation that prefab and modular translates to boring and cookie cutter.
