Abstract
Wood-frame construction, a system used extensively in Canada for single-family houses, is adaptable to both factory production and on site construction -- the degree of prefabrication being dictated largely by economics. This report discusses the "industrialization" of the wood-frame system through developments in materials and construction techniques and cites cost studies and indices which illustrate changes that are taking place. The role of factory production and mobile homes are briefly reviewed and the impact of research and building regulations on industrialization are considered.
