 The endemic problem with modern prefab, as it has existed to date, is price. Modern
prefab can be beautiful. However, it is still too pricy for it to be a viable option
for most homebuyers (and builders).

But prefab innovators CONNECT:HOMES ([www.connect-homes.com](http://connect-homes.com/))
are about to change the game. That’s elevating prefab from a great design conversation
to a realistic (and efficient) way of building homes.[⌊Pre fab connect homes⌉](https://i0.wp.com/greenlivingguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/7-3.jpg?quality=52&ssl=1)

Introducing CONNECT:HOMES ([www.connect-homes.com](http://connect-homes.com/)), 
a Los Angeles-based prefab innovator. One that has just launched a new line of affordable,
exportable, and sustainable modular homes. They ship like shipping containers. However,
they are most definitely NOT [shipping container](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/03/diy-energy-audits-how-to-lower-your-energy-bills/)
homes.

_Affordable because Connect Homes_ has a patent-pending technology that allows them
to build modules to 90% complete at the factory, surpassing industry standards that
are typically closer to 50%. This reduces finish time and reducing construction 
costs considerably.[⌊Pre fab home from connect homes Com⌉](https://i0.wp.com/greenlivingguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/8-3.jpg?quality=52&ssl=1)

Exportable because they are the only prefab developer on the market not to be limited
by the geographic location of their factory. Modules are designed to ship like shipping
containers via truck, rail, or ship. Connect:Homes are available virtually anywhere
in the world.

**Sustainable because Connect Homes** are all designed to achieve LEED for Homes
Silver out of the factory. And once installed, they come with systems and finishes
that could potentially help them reach Gold or Platinum.

Connect:Homes is a viable option for anyone considering building a new home. Whether
you’re a prefab fanatic or not.

The company’s ethos is based on the simple idea of connecting people to their aspirations,
connecting them to their environments.

Here’s a sneak peek of what Connect:Homes at Dwell on Design (www.dwellondesign.
