ABSTRACT

Our experience and knowledge of prefabrication is so limited in this country that it would be unwise to embark at once on a large programme of permanent prefabricated houses embodying any radical departures from well-tried methods-too many mistakes would probably be made. The wise policy seems to be to erect temporary houses, at the same time continuing research and experiment until we can produce a prefabricated house which is really superior in all respects to the traditional house.2
