Less than 5 per cent of homes built in Australia are prefabricated. The federal government wants that to change.
Prefabricated houses come with plenty of positives: they’re faster to design and construct, and they can be customised and stylish.
“That’s why I’ll be talking with state and territory colleagues about identifying obstacles that might be holding back the rollout of these types of houses, he said, Husic said it would be the first time governments had asked the board to devise a way to make it easier for the sector. “Anybody who works in the industry knows just how difficult it currently is to get a house built, and how expensive it is to get built,” said Shannon Battison, director of architecture at Mill Architecture and Design.“So I think that when we do have such a drastic housing shortage, we really should be looking to utilise all of the different kinds of tools in our belt, so to speak, and prefabrication would be a huge part of that.
