A prefab house comprising
- multiple beams,
- wherein the multiple beams form a frame of the prefab house,
- wherein at least a beam of the multiple beams comprises
- a first attachment,
- wherein the first attachment comprises a metal material;
- one or more wall panels,
- wherein at least a wall panel of the one or more wall panels comprises a cement-containing plate,
- wherein the at least a wall panel comprises a metal-containing attachment, wherein the metal-containing attachment is configured to be attached to the first attachment or to another metal-containing attachment of another wall panel,
- wherein the at least a wall panel is either coupled to the at least a beam by coupling the metal-containing attachment to the first attachment or coupled to the another wall panel by coupling the metal-containing attachment to the another metal-containing attachment.
