Who is currently selling modernist, high-tech prefabs in Oregon?
Truth be told, a lot of times a prefab builder’s whereabouts does not have a huge bearing on their buildings availability in your area; this is especially true if you are located in the continental U.S. or Canada. One reason for this is that the cost of delivery, especially if the home can be placed on one truck, is not exorbitant. Another is that many builders will partner with several factories around the country in order to lower the distance from factory to your site.
Some preliminary research found only PacificDomes which are interesting strucutres but are probably not what you had in mind, Herb.

kitHAUS approaches fruition
kitHAUS has updated their website, adding more pictures of the various models they intend to offer, as well as more information about how far in development they are.
It seems as though kitHAUS is currently in the process of receiving approval for its construction method, which it claims will allow its designs to pass through building departments “without delay”. At the moment, the k3 module is available now to be installed without permit due to its small size. Construction photos of the k3 are also available.
This seems like a pretty exciting development; we look forward to seeing more out of kitHAUS.
