Another type of concrete construction in parts of Asia uses prefabricated, reinforced concrete members. Piers, beams, and panels with internal steel made in a controlled factory setting and having high strength. It's a bit like half-timber construction but replacing the thick timber with concrete. They also use similar concrete for telephone or neighborhood power poles.

They are brought on site and erected by cranes and pile drivers to build the frame of a house somewhat like with large timber. The panels are set across beams to fill in floor areas, and walls are closed with non-load bearing elements, whether brick, blocks, stucco, drywall, etc. I am not sure how well this method works for seismically active areas though, where you would need to tie those in-fill wall areas into the structure.
