UK housebuilder Berkeley Homes has said it could start building prefabricated houses this year. The company acquired a 160,000 sq ft factory in Ebbsfleet, Kent last year, with the aim of making 1,000 prefabricated homes a year, amounting to a quarter of its total output. Berkeley Homes said the move into prefabricated properties was partly in response to a skills crisis in the construction industry and partly to meet the urgent need for more housing in the UK.
