Is element construction suitable for single-family homes? Absolutely.
This long-established technique, increasingly adopted in multiple countries, allows for faster, cost-effective, and scalable building. In Thailand, even 7-Eleven prefab stores demonstrate its practicality. Internationally, prefab is a proven, growing trend—from Sweden (84% prefab detached homes) to Germany (26% new homes) and landmark projects like Brisbane’s rapid modular assembly. Common benefits include up to 50% time savings, energy-efficiency, and minimal on-site disruption. Considering both global growth and local examples, element construction is not only viable for homes—it’s often preferable.

Market Growth:
The global prefabricated building market was valued at approximately USD 153.7 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a 6.8% CAGR through 2030, driven by demand for affordable and fast housing ([Gitnux][1]).
The modular construction market alone could reach **USD 271 billion by 2028, with up to 50% faster construction and **50% less material usage compared to traditional methods ([Wikipedia][2]).

Regional Adoption:
In Sweden, around 84% of detached houses use prefab timber elements ([Gitnux][3]).
In Germany, approximately 26% of new single-family homes are prefabricated ([Reddit][4]).
Countries like UK, Japan, Australia, Singapore, and the Netherlands also show significant modular construction adoption, ranging from 10% to 40% of new homes being prefab-built ([Gitnux][3], [Architectural Digest][5]).
