7 Advanteges Of Prefabricated Homes

The benefit of choosing prefabricated construction is having full control over the investment, as the initial costs will not increase during the project. 

You will be given a clear and concise breakdown of all the associated costs before final purchase and sign off. The fixed price will allow you to have peace of mind that no hidden or unexpected costs will arise during the course of the build. 

The principle of prefabricated construction is to assemble the build using readily manufactured wooden frames.This out-of-the-box method allows experts to easily manoeuvre  and construct all components of the build on site, saving time and money compared to more conventional construction processes.

Experts estimate that well-built prefabricated houses can, on average, save owners up to 50% on heating costs compared to more traditional housing. This is a result of the insulation, designed to retain heat in the winter and and release heat during the summer, accommodating the house for changes in climate. 

Wood, the core building material, can effectively manage high pressure and traction loads. This flexibility allows the building to withstand the bending force created as a result of an earthquake. Many are not aware that the predicted damage to a building depends primarily on its severity.

Though wood is often associated as a flammable material, prefabricated constructions are actually fireproof. In the event of a fire it takes on greater loads compared to concrete or steel. When burning, wood creates a self-protective layer on its surface, which protects the inner load-bearing core of the house. The frame of the house does not lose its load-bearing properties and discounts later.

Renovation of a prefabricated house is simpler and, more importantly,  faster than that of traditional housing builds. Many elements of a prefabricated house can be easily removed, so in the event of a flood, the drying of the entire structure is faster and of better quality. Wall parts, interior cladding and insulation are components that can be replaced quickly and easily, which is significantly easier than drying damp walls in the case of traditional construction.

As the main material in the construct of prefabricated house, wood is extremely airy. This aids the outcome of prefabricated houses to be practically "dry", while traditional houses, due to the method of construction, there is moisture. This moisture is not visible to the naked eye but can be felt. With a prefabricate design you can say goodbye to unwanted moisture, eliminating any build up of harmful black mould on surface walls.

The use of natural materials in prefab construction offers a completely different aspect of comfort. The natural benefits of wood as an insulator, while letting the house breath, provides a soothing and practical aesthetic. Many prefabricated house providers recommend the wooden house to people who suffer from respiratory illnesses. A house built in this way is environmentally friendly both during construction and demolition, as all materials are natural and do not burden the environment.
