Prefab is Not The Answer to Affordable, Modern & Green Homes

E-mail Print PDF

This article was written by Chad Ludeman, President of Philadelphia-based postgreen and developer of the much talked about 100k House.  We discovered this gem at Jetson Green.

Prefab homes seem to be showing up more and more in the media these days, especially with two large exhibits in Philadelphia showcasing their history this year.  Like many, I hoped that prefab would be the answer to bringing modern architecture to the masses in the US and beyond.  I thought that finally, modern home design would be attainable by those of us who aren't pulling in lofty six figure incomes. That was until I conducted extensive research into the possibility of starting a development company in Philadelphia using only prefab homes.
