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. Remember, understanding the prefabricated products that already exist is key.

One increasingly popular trend that is helping solve this dilemma is prefabrication. Prefabrication decreases field installation time, increases quality and safety, and reduces the amount of wasted materials. By constructing materials before they hit the job site, trade contractors are boosting their operations.

When prefabrication enters the construction equation, the variables change dramatically. In fact, prefabrication can provide up to 80 percent reduction in building envelope installation time with a substantial reduction in on-site installation team size and minimize the impact of weather. Its potential has yet to be fully realized.
