london-based studio facit homes has developed a pre-fabrication system that provides a mobile production facility (MPF) onto the site. the unit includes a full spectrum of building tools and materials necessary to complete the construction of a physical structure. using the drawings from fully defined 3D computer models, a shipping container is transformed into a local manufacturing site, where sheets of sustainable spruce plywood are individually CNC cut according to each the digital files.

the unique ‘D-process’ results in an accurate measurement for material quantity, electrical positioning and plumbing placement for an efficient construction method. build-time for each dwelling chassis can be as quick as three-days based on foundation preparation and site conditions.
