The benefits of using prefabrication are many, and can result in beautiful homes that function just as well or better than custom ones built on site. Using modular techniques for construction allows for stronger purchasing power. The process of building on site is also much quicker—and cheaper. Prefabrication is also greener since it uses computer technology to manufacture the modules, which creates 50% to 75% less material waste. The one limitation of prefabrication is that the pieces of the home need to be able to be shipped from the factory to the site of assembly. But the benefits of prefabrication are many, and can result in beautiful homes that function just as well or better than custom ones built on site.

A net-zero prefab home design is set to reinvigorate a down-at-the-heels Los Angeles neighborhood.

Thanks to a streamlined, waste-free construction method and affordable materials, like cement board cladding and Cradle to Cradle–certified panels, the firm’s three 1,200-square-foot homes came in at the requisite $150 per square foot—including foundation, trans- portation of the modular components, and rooftop solar panels that offset 95 percent of the structures’ energy demands...
