Prefabricated BuildingsPrefabricated Buildingsare buildings that are built in panels or sections and consist of pre made or factory built units that are then transported and assembled on-site so that the unit is then put together and a completed unit is created.
Prefabricated Buildingsand homes were first trialed in Liverpool, England as early in 1905 but the idea never really took off despite being adopted in many other countries throughout the world, especially in Eastern Europe. They were also used in the USA during the Gold Rush when prospectors needed accommodation quickly and easily. Back in the United Kingdom, it wasn`t until during the Second World War that
Prefabricated Buildingsincreased in popularity because of the need for mass accommodation and living quarters for military personnel. After the war prefabricated homes were also built as a way of providing cheap and quality housing, quickly, in order to replace housing that had been destroyed during the war. They were aimed at families and had all the same facilities as a regular house such as bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, living room etc. More recently, modernist architects are incorporating
Prefabricated Buildingsin their designs for ?green` and environmentally friendly homes.
