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. On the jobsite, modular pieces make on-site assembly quicker. Fewer moving parts creates a more controlled and safer environment at the project site while reducing “brute strength” barriers to female participation.
