Canada’s Plan to Become the Prefab Construction Capital of the World

Pre-fabs in construction are completely changing the game in many sectors.

In Germany ,serial renovations using prefabs are booming

Serial renovations entail scanning an apartment complex using lasers and then building up the exactly required parts for covering the outside, including window frames, in the factory.
