Well, a prefab house can be fast, but one day? Yes, that is the idea behind this prefab home, called by just that name: “Cottage in a Day.” They set out to produce modern, complete modules (modular construction) to ship out to new home buyers, or people who want to use them as guest houses, work stations, or whatever else.
“Cottage in a Day is the next generation of factory-built, energy-efficient, green homes,” states the company. “The process incorporates exceptional design, use of sustainable materials, and a structural insulated panel (SIP) envelope for strength, sound reduction, and comfort.
