Here are a few projects from my tenure at DAC International, a prefabricator of wood frame buildings
and building material consolidator for both domestic and International markets. All of these projects
used prefabricated components whose size was constrained by the 2.35m x 2.7m x 12m (7’-8” x 8’-10” x
39’-3”) size of the shipping container used to deliver them to site.
