>No, Europe has not been doing cement-like prefabs for years. They're not legal in Europe. Concrete prefabs haven't been built in Europe since the Soviets left in the 1980s. What the Soviets were building were prefab rooms, not prefab panels. It's a night and day difference.
Well, I have been working with a firm that made prefab panels houses much later than the 80's, and I don't think they were ever made illegal at least here (Italy) maybe you should restrict your definition of Europe to the specific EU country (if any) where concrete prefab houses are actually illegal.

- notahacker 4y agoThe OP is for some reason focused on chrysotile (asbestos) panels rather than panels skinned with fibre reinforced cement which appears to be what this actually is. Which is legal and common in European construction, including as prefabricated wall units.
- jaclaz 4y agoNow I see. He stated: > Concrete prefabs haven't been built in Europe since the Soviets left in the 1980s. but the reference was only to asbestos panels, which are actually not allowed anymore since 1992/93/94 (here in Italy), anyway replacements (not containing asbesto) have been developed since. I was instead talking of actual concrete (not fiber cement panel) prefabs.
