On Feb 12, 2004, KCAL 9 Los Angeles ran a 3.5 minute segment during the 10pm TV news titled Prefab Dreaming? The piece included an interview with Jennifer Siegal, a visit to a modular home manufacturer’s factory, a very brief appearance by fabprefab editor Michael Sylvester and images of several prefab projects.

The KCAL 9 segment presented images from a range of prefab projects which we outline below. Most of these projects are modular homes. Modular homes usually differ from mobile or manufactured homes in terms of the building codes they adhere to and the types of land on which they can be located.
