#35 Prefab Housing Solutions for Bushfire & Disaster Relief
This study investigated the potential for prefabrication and advanced manufacture to be an alternative to traditional construction in providing both short-term and long-term housing solutions for those affected by bushfires and other disasters.
The research led to understanding the complexities and barriers to designing, manufacturing and installing prefabricated modular homes and units to bushfire impacted regions around the country.
