At Spacecube, we like to think we are a cog in the big wheel of human endeavour when it comes to building and construction. To be a part of the on-going history of this never-ending story is something which sits well with us.
Our small part, modular construction, is one of those building methods whose time has come. Again. Interestingly, Australia, which has had a proud history of building and construction, also played a part in the first documented prefabricated home in the 1880’s. (A London carpenter shipped his house in pieces for easy assembly in Australia.) Sears Roebuck sold more than 500,000 prefab homes via catalogue in the early 1900’s and WWII created demand both during the war and after to meet severe housing shortages. These events probably contributed to prefabs image as something which lacked style and polish. This is no longer the case.
