Pre-fab modular homes are being explored on the new DIY Network show Assembly Required that premiered on October 1, 2007.

"Forget yesteryear's boxy homes on wheels and flimsy mail-order modules. Assembly Required explores the four basic types of prefab homes--modular, panelized, precut and manufactured. Follow couples who have chosen to design and build their own prefab abode as they handle challenges, uncover tips, hit the factory floor where all the pieces for their new home are created, and watch the pieces come together onsite."
