Back in the 1950s in the time of baby boomers when families required more space for living, prefabrication was thriving as a construction technique that could provide more residential buildings and houses in a brief amount of time. After decades since the trend of prefabrication was popular, prefabrication is getting back as a trend in construction. These are some of the surprising areas where prefabrication is experiencing a big return.

Prefabrication Schools
With public funding and construction projects such as building schools, saving money and spending less time on the construction site is more often a priority. That is how with one of the recent projects included modular school blocks and extensions. The goal was to build sixteen schools while spending less time on the site. That is how construction workers used prefabricated materials to build schools by assembling buildings with prefabricated extensions and blocks, reducing waste to the very minimum and finishing construction within a faster pace.
Airports and Prefabricated Constructions
In London, Heathrow airport has a plan to use prefabrication to expand its airport and spend minimum time on the construction project. At the same time, there are several hubs in the UK where the materials will be prefabricated into blocks and extensions so the process of construction wouldn’t disrupt the people living near the airport.
Bathrooms and Prefabrication Trends
Bathrooms are another area where prefabrication seems to be getting more on its popularity, with more companies offering prefabricated bathrooms. This trend is more so popular in the sector of build-to-rent, student accommodation and residential buildings where apartments are made and designed in the same style. Prefabricated bathrooms arrive on the site almost ready to be used with minimal time needed for the construction to be done once the prefabricated pods arrive at the spot. That way, projects are finished faster and with more efficiency.
