description Recent earthquake and tsunami in Aceh and North Sumatra has left Indonesia big responsibility in fulfilling housing need for people who lost their homes after this calamity. Use of mass-produced, factory-built systems for housing construction is technology that can be used as a solution to this problem. Factory-built housing can be defined as houses that are partly or all constructed in factory environment, then are transported and erected/ assembled at permanent site. This paper is a summary of recent practices and potential development of factorybuilt housing in Indonesia by considering several Indonesian National Standard (SNI) which available. The aim of this paper is to explain the possibility of factory-built housing technology in Indonesia. The study synthesises information collected from review and analysis of trade and scientific literatures, a series of site visits to factorybuilt housing companies in industrialized countries; and discussions with academic institutions and building regulators in Indonesia. Definitions and types of factory-built systems are presented first followed by discussion of practical, regulatory, standards, and scientific issues applicable in Indonesia. Findings are identified as potential research needs in factory-built housing.
