I’ve stayed in multi-story hotels in Japan where the every room was a pre-assembled module - this included the bed, wardrobe and shower.

but for a mass development barrats and co are surprisingly efficient to build despite all being built on site.

Yeah, but the quality is shit.... I should know, I used to build them.... 🤣

I think the thing is when people talk about prefabs (in the UK) they've probably got more of a 'Grand designs' inspired, Huf Haus, on a nice secluded rural plot sort of image in their head, the reality is most people can't actually afford the price tag for a well made, off-site manufactured timber frame structure, plus the site, services, planning permission and labour to "just chuck it up"...

The interest in ISO based tiny homes is all about affordability, the main thing that is missing from most housing options today.

Halls of residence have been built the same way, Ive stayed in some on conferences years ago and saw more being built
