The only problem I see with the pre-fab homes here in Florida is that it is done primarily with stick construction (although much of the site-built homes are too). Whenever a hurricane blows through you see the piles of debris of what used to be the stick homes. If they started doing modular concrete form homes I would consider it. Its like a friend of mine from the Dominican Republic told me when I asked about his parents after a hurricane blew through there years ago, "hurricanes are like the big bad wolf; live in a home of straw or sticks and you are in trouble, but you do okay if in a home of brick."

There are a few modular pre-cast concrete manufacturers around as well. Most major cities should have at least one or two of those companies, but it's cheaper to pour concrete on site. You can buy precast if you are wanting to build a concrete home in a area where it's impossible to order in cement trucks. It's costly however.
