modular home

A modular building is a prefabricated building that consists of repeated sections called modules.[1] Modularity involves constructing sections away from the building site, then delivering them to the intended site.
Modular buildings may be used for long-term, temporary or permanent facilities, such as construction camps, schools and classrooms, civilian and military housing, and industrial facilities. Modular buildings are used in remote and rural areas where conventional construction may not be reasonable or possible,
What does modular mean in homes?
Image result for modular homes definition
A modular home is a home that has been built indoors – basically, inside a home-building factory. Once complete, the modules (or components of these homes) are transported by truck to their new location and assembled by highly qualified tradesmen onto the already poured foundation.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "I feel that "modular" home is a more specific and relevant term to "λυόμενο" than prefab which feels to me like an "umbrella" terms for (apparently) different subtypes of homes/construction techniques. + On the project I am working on (a website) I was requested to provide terms both for the word "προκατασκευασμένο" and "λυόμενο" therefore I had to find a (valid) way to differentiate them."

Prefabricated building/house or Prefab

Προσωπικά θα διάλεγα τον παραπάνω όρο που υπάρχει στο τίτλο, profabricated building/house or profab: , προκατασκευασμένο κτήριο ή σπίτι, προκάτ, λυόμενο, λυόμενο κτίσμα ή σπίτι. πχ. You would never know that such an attractive house is a prefab.

Thanks a lot, Nadia!
agree Domini Lucas : Depending on formality of context, would be inclined to call it "prefab".
