 Posted: Sat Feb 02, 2008 4:47 am Post subject: Modern Prefabricated Homes and Their Benefits |
    |
|
While a traditional home is built by workmen on a site, a prefabricated house is built in a factory. In other words, sections of a prefab home are built in large pieces in a factory, transported to the owner’s land and then simply assembled and placed onto a pre-existing foundation. Modern prefab homes are also popularly known as modular homes as you can put together any number of rooms to create the kind of home you wish. Prefab homes are increasingly witnessing high demand due to a variety of reasons:
Better Equipped to Handle Natural Disasters
Environment- Friendly
Design the Way You Like
Money Saver
Eco friendly homes are less damaging to the environment as they are made from recycled, renewable materials, use less energy and don’t pollute. As people are becoming more conscious about environment, the demand for eco-friendly green prefab homes is growing. |

Modular homes and buildings are more environmentally friendly in general because there is reduced material waste since they are made in a factory. The process is very efficient, and most everything in our factory is recycled if we can.
One of the biggest reasons for prefab is the time savings. The site prep can be done at the same time as the mods are being built.

That's so true Mark, the amount of queries and construction at our workplace has nearly tripled and we can't keep up with demand.
We ship them inside a container that goes sea bound, and all they need to do is do site prep, and up it goes, roof and all.

So many people think of trailer-like structures when they hear "prefab" or "modular" but the truth is that modern modular buildings look identical to buildings that are site built. Hotels, apartment buildings, and student residences can all be built up to twelve stories using modular technology.
