As the article states, though, "The term prefab has been shunned by the new housebuilders. The new phrase has instead been described as “modular construction”.
Developers have been promising homes built to higher standards than those using traditional methods. They also claim energy bills would be half that of a conventional home due to better insulation."
The record for constructing a house onsite is apparently 36 hours, although it typically takes a few days. Any help towards the housing shortage in the UK would be welcomed!
