grteLiberals promise to build nearly 500,000 homes per year, create new housing entity
Avid AmoebaOK, this sounds like a real plan. I really like they are paying attention to prefab construction.
Prefab is not as useful as it sounds. Houses are already factory made - they just bring the factory to the site on a truck. Most of the parts are already pre-cut in a separate factory, only a small minority need to be cut. They just take parts and put them together.
Most prefab attempts are cheaper only because quality standards are lower.
Oh I was referring to prefab for multistorey buildings, where concrete elements are prefabricated.
Which is about as prefab as the studs in a stick frame house which is also shipped to the site the correct size.
Either way the point is most of the useful prefab innovations have been done decades ago and are normal.
