Here Are 7 Prefab Companies in Texas That Should Be on Your Radar
Prefabricated homes are big in Texas. Builders, designers, and architects have developed kit, modular, and prefab dwellings that score top marks for sustainability, quality, and speedy, streamlined construction in recent years. Read on for a look at seven Texas prefab companies that are operating at the top of their game.
1) Contain Builders
The 320A Mod, one of Contain Builders smaller prefab homes, features a fully equipped kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom as well as a spacious living area—all within 320 square feet.
From their home base in Austin, Texas, Contain Builders designs and builds shipping container homes that range in size from 160 square feet for a small studio to about 1,200 square feet for fully-functioning, multi-room homes. The company is keenly aware of the economic and environmental issues that have affected Austin in recent years, and as a result they seek to build affordable, durable, and sustainable solutions.
2) MA Modular
The ranch-style Casita 850 by MA Modular houses two bedrooms and one bathroom in a finely laid out 850 square feet.
Based in Austin, Texas, Ma Modular is an offshoot of architect Chris Krager’s design/develop/build firm, KRDB. Their one-story Casita 850 model, at 850 square feet, is on the smaller side of their prefabricated options and comes with two bedrooms and one bathroom.

4) Village Homes
The kitchen in this Village Tiny Homes residence features crisp, simple white cabinets with wood accents for texture and visual interest.

The company offers a variety of DIY kits for cabins, sheds, studios, add-on rooms, storage structures, and children’s playhouses, along with installation services.
6) Brett Zamore Design
Brett Zamore calls the house he designed for David Kaplan the Shot-Trot, now the Kit_00 homes, because it fuses two regional housing types, the shotgun and the dogtrot.
Based in Houston, Texas, Brett Zamore Design has worked on everything from highly customized residential and commercial projects to kit and prefab homes. Their eco-friendly, cost-effective kit homes are rooted in the simplicity of Texas vernacular architecture, and the studio offers seven different plans that can be easily customized depending on each client’s needs and lifestyle.
7) Lake | Flato
A typical Lake|Flato Porch House can be completed in approximately 12 months with construction costs running from $300 to $350 per square foot.
