Why A Prefab Home Might Be Right For You
A prefabricated home, also known as a prefab, manufactured or prebuilt home, is one that has been constructed in a factory environment and delivered in pieces to its permanent site for assembly. Because of the controlled environment and systemic process in which a prefab home is built, they are often more cost effective and time efficient.
Prebuilt homes have come a long way since the concept was first introduced in 1913. You can find a style for just about any taste. Are you considering a manufactured home? Here are some reasons it might be the right choice for you and your family.
If you own land or have a plot of land already in mind
Do you already own land or have a specific site in mind where you want your new home to be, but all that’s missing is the perfect home? Perhaps you’ve been considering a traditional building process but are looking for a simpler or more cost effective alternative. If so, a prefabricated house might be right for you. The trickiest part of manufactured homes for some can be finding the right land to put it on. If you already have that perfect location, then you’re ahead of the game.
If you’re looking to build in a remote location
Constructing a new home in a remote location can prove a challenge and rack up expenses as you pay to have materials and construction workers transported on a daily basis. Because manufactured homes are built by workers in a controlled factory setting, you can drastically simplify the construction process.
If you’re looking to build quickly
A manufactured home might be the right choice for you if you’re looking to cut down on lengthy construction time and get settled in your new home quickly. Because of the efficient way in which they are built, factory-produced homes can reduce construction time by up to 35%.
If you’re looking for a more durable home
Prebuilt homes have been known to better withstand natural disasters. If you live or are planning to live in an area prone to inclimate weather or natural disasters, a prefabricated home might be right for you.
If you’re looking for a more affordable option
For a number of reasons, manufactured houses can drastically cut costs in your home-building budget. Because these structures are built in a controlled factory setting, materials are never damaged by weather during the build, excess materials are not wasted, and time is managed efficiently in the assembly-line-esque process. Not all prefabricated homes are alike, and just like any other home they have the potential for luxury elements, so it’s not a guarantee that every prebuilt home will be more affordable than its traditionally built counterpart, but prefab homes do have a lot of cost efficient elements working in their favor.
