Prefabrication : for people in a hurry Mohammed, Richard

Abstract

If prefabrication technologies have demonstrated innovations within the construction industry, why are they so reluctant to adopt it? This thesis asks the questions: how can we reduce the hesitancy of prefabrication to illicit excitement and desire, and what can we learn from its ability to combine the knowledge of designers, architects, engineers, and contractors?
