What is a prefabricated home?

A prefabricated home, also known as a prefab home, is a type of residential construction in which sections of the structure are built off-site in a factory or warehouse, and then transported to the building site for assembly. These homes can range from simple modular designs to more complex structures that resemble traditional homes. They are built using pre-cut and pre-measured materials, which are assembled using a combination of machines and manual labor. Prefabricated homes are often cheaper and quicker to construct than traditional site-built homes, and can be more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.
