  1. A Simple Guide to Prefabrication and Modular Houses A construction technique that has been used for thousands of years is prefabrication. The Greeks and Japanese used prefabricated components to build their pagodas and temples. Prefabricated homes first gained popularity in the United States at the beginning of the 20th century.

Modular homes often have higher quality than manufactured homes, which federal HUD building codes must construct. Benefits of Building a Prefabricated House Environmentally friendly: The assembly-line construction method eliminates waste, and energy-saving elements, such as solar panels, are less expensive for the home buyer when the home manufacturer purchases them in bulk. High-quality segments: As prefab building is carried out in a regulated setting without many subcontractors, quality monitoring is significantly more straightforward.
