Who we help
-
Architects
Make your concepts acceptable for prefabricated production without losing their character. We adapt drawings, standardise details and help you speak the factory’s language. -
Developers and investors
Turn ideas into repeatable prefab products with clear budgets and timelines. We help you choose the right technology and manufacturer for scale. -
Modular manufacturers
Reduce documentation chaos, clarify your product offering, and build stronger collaboration with architects and clients. We support both engineering and positioning.
95% of all prefabrication companies simply "build houses under roof"
Problems
we solve
-
Designs factories reject
We review and adapt your project to modular logic so manufacturers can price and produce it with fewer redesign loops. -
Logisitcs issues
Our shipping experience ranges from DIY and flatpacks to foldable and enormous cluster units that are delivered worldwide -
One‑off projects instead of a product
We help manufacturers turn recurring requests into clear prefab product lines with standards and options. -
No safe way to build the first prototype
Our "Prototype Factory" gives architects a controlled environment to build, test and refine the first unit before mass production.
CONSULTING & ENGINEERING SERVICES
We focus on prefabricated and modular construction
Business Plan and Market Penetration

BASICS
Checkpoints Where Consultation Helps
You haven't delved into the details yet and need guidance on where to begin. Are prefab methods suitable for your project? Will your client like this approach? How do you choose partners among architects, engineers, and manufacturers?
You've read all the online guides, listened to various stories, and familiarized yourself with numerous technologies. It seems clear, but you have a million questions. Here, it's helpful to organize everything and turn chaos into a plan.
It seems like everything is ready to launch the project into production! Now, you need someone to review it, conduct a project check, identify and fix any issues, and assemble a clear set of drawings for production (our goal is to make life as easy as possible for the estimator at the factory who determines the cost of the work).
Hooray, you received proposals from factories and client approval! But now what? How do you control the process? How do you handle custom finishing materials? How do you reclaim VAT? How do you decide when to pay invoices? What if your clients are on another continent? How do you pack, transport and assemble a prefab? What's insured and how to provide warranty?
These are the most common checkpoints where I can help you navigate, giving you confidence that you're doing everything correctly.
Working with me will give you confidence and a clear action plan.

ABOUT PREFAB LAB
2021
Brette Haus was constantly approached by designers and architects eager to bring their concepts to life. They presented us with complex, unconventional designs that manufacturers rejected due to unclear drawings or production challenges.
2023
We decided to spin off Prefab Lab as an independent venture focused solely on supporting prefab and modular projects from concept to production.
2026
Prefab Lab has collaborated with leading architectural studios and manufacturers across Europe, United States and North Africa, helping bring ambitious modular ideas to life through practical design-to-production development, DFMA optimization, and market-fit guidance.
