Prefabricated Walls Coming Back?

Due to the speed, design and price of prefabricated houses many more people are choosing to produce their homes in this way rather than just bricks and mortar. There are many advantages of having a prefabricated house that are listed below.

TIMESCALE – When the parts for a prefab house have already been made and the product is on site, the main frame work can be complete in a few days, if using an experienced team of builders. The longest part of the job is production of the panels and the footing of the house.

MATERIALS – When buying a prefabricated house you don’t have to think about all the materials, subcontractors, certificates, structural calculations and design budget. Generally the price of one of these homes is fixed, and there are no other costs. The builders, and all of the materials can be supplied by the company that is providing you with the prefab structure. Sometimes you  are able to get the interior of your home fitted like a kitchen, or bathroom all within the original pricing structure.

TIMBER – Timber is one of the best building materials to use for many different reasons. It can be put together very quickly making a large structure in days. Timber has 12 times better insulation value than concrete which is commonly used in the building trade.

WORKMANSHIP – When building a normal brick house many different trades need to be called in throughout the process to produce an end product, this isn’t very cost efficient. With prefab houses you don’t need to worry about these things as all of the necessary trades are supplied for you and will be incorporated in the original costing of the project.

AFFORDABILITY – Because a prefab house can be built around yourselves they can be much more energy efficient that a basic house. The cost of building one of these homes can be relatively small,l and it generally doesn’t cost much to maintain, therefore prefabricated homes may well be the future.
