lpoutine,
amor de cosmos has just posted a new topic entitled "Esquimalt Prefab 4-plex Built in 2 Weeks" in forum "Urban Design".

Pretty cool:
------------ QUOTE ----------
This proposed four unit townhouse development is in the development phase. It is being proposed by a group made up of three households who have joined together to form a small local company to create a sustainable, built to Passive House Standard, building that will provide the kind of housing they wish existed in the township and that they would be happy to live in themselves. All members of this group proudly call Esquimalt home.

Only 499,996 units to go! Anyway a related question I always have with these prefab buildings is whether the components are also manufactured locally and how long that part of the process takes, since I think the 2 weeks only counts the assembly on-site like a big Lego set. I'm pretty sure that's what's is meant in stories that in China, a company built/assembled a 10-story building in 28 hours (https://www.designboom.com/architecture/watch-china-build-10-story-building-in-a-day-06-24-2021/). It occurs to me then, that if a building can be designed for quick assembly, it can also be designed to fit perfectly on a semi trailer, and in 2025 why not have R2-D2 type robots to assist, maybe with instructions for a given design that would fit on a USB drive?
There also seems to be an open house from 4 to 6 today.
