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.
