Prefabrication is the process of manufacturing or assembling components of a building or structure in a factory or manufacturing facility and then transporting them to the construction site for installation. This method allows for faster, more efficient construction, as the components are built to precise specifications in a controlled environment and can be quickly assembled on site with minimal on-site labor. Prefabrication is commonly used in the construction of modular buildings, precast concrete structures, and other types of prefabricated, or "prefab," construction.
