Facts Regarding Modular Or Prefab Buildings

By Carolyn Hall


People once considered modular/prefab homes as a low-quality and cheap housing option. Fortunately this situation has changed over the years thanks to technology. Today, people are being offered a second way of fulfilling their dream of owning a home through prefab homes. The modern designs have many benefits, features, and advantages which make preferable to conventional homes. Here are facts on prefab buildings

Such homes have improved quality which is the first advantage to the purchaser. In the past few years, the structures have improved significantly in terms of quality. One can make comparisons of the modern designs with conventional housing in all aspects in terms of quality. It is a fact that prefabs structures have a better quality in areas where conventional housing has low standards. These structures are made under intense quality control since the production is done on an assembly line in a factory setting.

The second advantage comes from speed of construction. Prefab structures can be constructed significantly faster than regular houses. Sources of delay in construction of regular houses do not exist in factories. For instance, when making a conventional house, suppliers of various materials must make the delivery on time. Secondly, the transportation process can be delayed by several different reasons. On top of all that, adverse weather usually causes major delays in construction of conventional houses.

The cost is another common advantage is associated with modular houses. These structures are highly affordable as the construction process involves little expenses. It can be 15 percent cheaper to own a similar size of modular house than a conventional house. However, the cost of delivery of prefab homes may shoot up to small extent when installation site is situated in a difficult area to access.

Financing options associated with factory-built homes are more than those associated with conventional houses. In most cases, prefab structures have the same financing options as conventional housing. In addition to that, financing can be done through the manufacturer, where the manufacturer delivers the product and payments are done in installments over time. Although this does not happen always, it is a cheaper option that one should look into.

Despite the many associative positives of modular homes, they are still perceived negatively in the public eye. This negativism contributes to the low perceived value of modular houses. A combination of negative perception with low perceived value makes reselling these homes quite challenging. As such, it normally takes a long time to find a willing buyer.

Absence of customization option in these structures creates a second disadvantage. One can build modular homes based on a wide variety of configurations and customization. However, customization normally remains tricky as it is hard to do this as compared to regular houses. Designs such as towers on master bedrooms and circular floor plans can be attained conventional houses unlike prefab homes.

In conclusion, while constructing a manufactured house is quite cheap, the same cannot be said of land on which it is supposed to be installed. This means that the buyer may be forced to acquire land first before proceeding with placement of a construction order for a modular home. A combined sum of acquiring the two is usually expensive in most cases.
