The premise of the Prototype is to build upon the R&D Phase—outlining, testing, and redefining the feasibility of modular and prefabrication technologies. The BETTER house takes shape not as a whole product or even a set of modules completed in a single factory, but rather through a logistical sequence where the parts that constitute the house are built in separate locations based on their complexity. From a centralized, high-tech facility for its core (the CPU) to regional manufacturers for structure and enclosure and local contractors for site specific construction such as foundations and utilities the parts come together on site ready for easy installation.

 Following established precedents in other industries (cars, furniture, electronics, etc.) options for the building configuration, size, materiality and finishes are available to owners while maintaining the overall premise for all elements to work together, no matter the size and configuration of the finished house.
