Kit houses, also known as mill-cut houses, pre-cut houses, ready-cut houses, mail order homes, or catalog homes, were a type of prefabricated housing that was popular in the United States, Canada, and elsewhere in the first half of the 20th century. Kit house manufacturers sold houses in many different plans and styles, from simple bungalows to imposing Colonials, and supplied at a fixed price all materials needed for construction of a particular house, but typically excluding brick, concrete, or masonry (such as would be needed for laying a foundation, which the customer would have to arrange to have done locally). Some house styles, like log cabins and geodesic dome homes, are still sometimes sold in kit form.

  • La maison en kit, aussi connue sous les noms de maison préfabriquée, maison sur catalogue, maison prédécoupée, maison prête à l'emploi, est un type de maison préfabriquée en bois. Il était un type de maison populaire aux États-Unis et au Canada au début du XXe siècle, où plus de 100 000 maisons en kit furent bâties entre 1908 et 1940. Les fabricants de maisons en kit vendaient des maisons dans de nombreux styles différents, allant du simple bungalow à l'imposante maison coloniale, et fournissaient à un prix fixe tous les matériaux nécessaires à la construction d'une maison, à l'exception généralement de la brique, du béton ou de la maçonnerie (comme ceux nécessaires à la pose des fondations).
