Sachin Sandhir, MD, RICS South Asia, cited that "Given the requirement of 26.5 million affordable housing units in India and project execution challenges and shortage of human resources, the traditional 'brick and mortar' construction is giving way to prefab structures and materials. Prefab technologies can be used to build homes quickly and cost-effectively, especially as traditional construction costs continue to rise. As the cost of borrowing is steep and developers are facing a liquidity crunch, time means money. Modular construction is faster and adds to the revenue stream of builders," reports Business Today.

Pre-fabricated way of construction includes modern technologies in which factory-manufactured mechanisms are implemented in building constructions.  Some of these pre-fabricated materials include cement, wood panels, steel frames for structures, gypsum along with other materials for floors, walls and ceilings, factory-made ventilations, windows and doors. Moreover, in big project constructions, varieties of structured modules are displayed in factories which can be assembled later on site or plot.
