Prefab Homes Can
Be Built {n 24 Hours |

A Sottish firm has designed a
prefabricated house which can be
built in a day. Primarily intend-
ed to mect the needs of the Cana-
dian and United States markets,
it contains three rooms, a kitch-
enette and bathroom, The house
is fully prebarciated and of all-
timber construction, consisting of
only seven panels which can be
erected in a day according to the
present design, or could be
adapted to form a different de-
sign. Provision. is made for a
staircase if a basement is incor-
porated,

The L-shaped lounge-dining
room’ has an area of about 260
square feet, with a spacious win-
dow looking on to the verandah,
The kitchenette contains, in ad-
dition to cooking equipment and
xefrigerator, an electric dish-

and a

disposal unit. oA

The firm says that an output
of 2,000 houses a year could be
reached: at its Musselburgh fac-
tory while, if the demand is suf-
ficient, other. factorics. in the
group could increase the rate to
“‘petween 5,000 and 10,000 houses
a-year,
