!!!Fertigteilhäuser

Prefabricated Houses have been manufactured in Austria since the end 
of the 1940's (with a few exceptions before World War II). Architects 
such as R. Rainer, O. Niedermoser and O. Peyer developed prefabricated 
house designs for export. Since the beginning of the 1970's 
prefabricated houses have been chiefly produced for the domestic 
market. At the same time the market share for prefabricated houses has 
grown to over 20 % of the construction of single-family homes in 
Austria, leading other European countries in this category.

\\
In addition to the traditional wooden composite construction method, 
prefabricated houses built with concrete or with bricks are also 
available. The economic advantages of prefabricated houses are 
year-round production and the possibility of locating production sites 
in economically disadvantaged regions. The largest companies producing 
prefabricated houses are Elk, Haas, Hartl, Linzer, Wolf and Zenker.
