Abstract:
"Current home construction systems are mostly onsite which are steady, costly of a fixed configuration and takes
more time to build. The growing demand for housing also leads to a demand for diverse housing needs. It is
necessary to reconsider the design and construction system of the housing requirements. This thesis will focus
on the design of the prefab paneling system which opens new dimensions and provides affordable eco-friendly
housing. These system are as strong and durable compared to onsite construction. They are built in less time
compared to conventional systems, and can be assembled and dissassembled, can change the configuration
per individual needs and can be relocated which makes living accommodations more flexible and comfortable."
