There's a rather huge prefab industry here in Estonia. Starting from small pre-fab components (such as a single small wall section) to some houses that are essentially 90% completed in the factory.

If you have the foundation already done, then the assembly of the rest of the house takes around 3-5 days

Looks pretty, but how about fire, excessive snowfall or wind, rodents and pests, flood/water leaks etc?

Well for one, if it didn't stand excessive snowfall you'd find out pretty quickly in Estonia.

What’s the price for prefab like? Their website wouldn’t say.
