Factory-made building parts are changing how the world builds. Pre-engineered steel buildings dominate warehouses and factories; precast concrete is common for bridges, metro and large housing; and modular units are used for site offices, hotels and hospitals.

- Warehouses, factories and sheds (PEB).
- Site offices, labour housing and cabins (portable and container units).
- Boundary walls, drains and culverts (precast).
- Repetitive housing blocks with precast walls and slabs.
