T.J. Thoraldson recalls the day the home was placed on its foundation: “It was about 10 degrees below zero, and two semi-trucks were parked on our street with our finished home in three pieces, ready to be lifted on to the foundation by a crane. It was really exciting to see the house 50 feet in the air before it was slowly lowered on to the basement foundation.”
He said it was a shock for the neighbors “who left in the morning with an empty lot to come home from work with a two story house in place.”
For most people, prefab construction is an unexplored domain. But the industry is growing in popularity—particularly, as the “green” movement, sweeps across a multitude of trades. Green is in, which means, prefabs are in, too.
