it is not a short-cut... it is a standard practice in construction. The resulting structure is as strong (or even stronger) than conventional construction. Stronger because it is generally lighter with an internal framework as compared to traditional structures which are basically platforms on pillars. In a quake, a traditional structure can shake and fall flat on itself. Prefab will ride the quake and can survive relatively undamaged.
