Non-traditional construction
Non-traditional homes were built mainly post-war, and fall into four main construction types: pre-cast concrete, in-situ concrete, timber frame, and steel frame. In many cases a mixture of materials was used. They were commonly called pre-fabs (pre-fabricated). They were predominantly erected in urban areas to replace housing destroyed in World War 2, but can be found in small clusters in rural areas and can be of mixed and varied construction. NEA has specialists on non- traditional construction who can be contacted for further advice.
