Pre-fab is the future. It's turning a luxury into a commodity: good design.
It'll also make it easier to automate the construction process.
I was talking to an apartment developer at Ignite Boston who said that the Chinese are about the trounce all construction companies in the US because they actually have process-ized and optimized their methods. This is what allows them to build manufacturing cities so quickly.
