Prefab has long since made big promises of bringing affordable design to the masses. With sites like Live Modern® dedicated to affordable housing its obvious that there is definitely a huge client base just waiting. While us Americans may be a little slow to provide results, it looks like there may be some action from the land down under. Australian based PreBuilt has a new series of houses reportedly priced from $43,000 - $109,000 USD. Now thats more like it. You can see by the pictures after the jump, that the interiors are even well done. Seems like those Aussie’s have a way better sense for good design than we do anyways. Maybe we should just all move to Australia and live in a Prebuilt house.

I tried to do the math on them and it seemed they came in around $100-$110 per square foot without foundation or delivery. Somebody please correct me if that is wrong. If so, it rivals site built in many places (though not areas like California).
I am sure many people in states would opt for pre-fab if there were substantial savings which would offset concerns (right or wrong) about long term investment appreciation. I am not sure if a 10-15% savings when all is said and done is really enough.
Overall, though I like their offering and it would be great to see options like these here in the states.
