specifically on low-rise prefabricated housing. Hashemi (2013) concluded with significant questions regarding quality and cost considerations for future developments. This present paper explored the literature covering the evolution of prefabricated low-rise housing which covers a broad timespan, providing a – chronology and exploration of the literature on the evolution of prefabricated low-rise housing. This paper fulfils its purpose. This provides a resource to researchers who wish to explore the evolution of prefabricated housing. It should be noted that there are books on specific time periods and longitudinal analysis. Further detailed research could be undertaken by identifying and analysing a specific time period or event. Recommendations for further research Construction History is under-researched, as stated in Holt (2015). It is evident that the history and evolution of construction technology are subsequently There are many research topics that could be chosen from this paper and the literature referenced. Prefabrication has a long history in Britain, and it was charted in detail in the 1900s. There is ambiguity in its origins, and this will possibly be researched further in the future. There are many time periods which could be selected and explored. However, the history of importing and exporting housing from the 1600s to 1900s requires further study. This is an area recommended for further research. Prior to research, the early exporting of housing to the colonies was unknown to the authors who have significant knowledge of housing. It might also be unknown to other researchers. References Addis, B.
