It's all around you. I don't even have to ask where you are. This has been the dominant construction technology for decades.
You know, those 6-8 story apartment buildings with weird metal surfaces decorating the outsides, which are in wanna-be jazzy colors?
Those are panelized. That's someone playing The Sims on a real building, picking weird textures out of a catalogue and being bored with regular options.

It does. You just don't notice it.
- rich_sasha 4y agoI see ordinary family houses built around me. There's maybe a timber frame (or not). Then there's a bunch of guys laying bricks one by one, sticking some insulation on, putting pipes and cables through it all. Surely some of it is prefabricated, but it doesn't look like a bunch of Ikea-esque bits being just attached together.
