Factory-built homes are in the election spotlight as a fix for Canada’s housing crisis. It’s a faster, easier way to build, and less polluting than traditional construction methods. So why aren’t neighbourhoods packed with prefab homes?
If I remember right, that was basically what they did to make commie blocks.
If the building isn’t too tall, maybe 5 stories or less, that is proven to work, though I don’t know about the quality, at least it’s durable. But I strongly doubt that it would work for skyscrapers. I don’t think there’s any way to get beyond single large support struts to go throughout the entire building, and concrete walls feel too heavy to be used. Maybe prefab concrete floors could work, but I don’t work construction.
