You Save On Time

The manufacturer follows the template, as they would have the resources to do so. This is their core business, manufacturing prefab kits. There is no loss of time due to weather constraints on site as in the traditional method. Also there is no loss of time due to manpower issues. Again, there is no loss of time awaiting material arrival to complete various aspects. This also impacts your overall costs.

Once the kit arrives on site – your prefab housing kit can be put together as per the manufacturers’ instructions over a few days. Compare this to weeks and months of doing the traditional building.

Cost Savings

Building a home the traditional way is quite costly. Material cost, man-power and equipment costs just to name a few. The traditional building method has to also account significantly more to any major price and demand fluctuations in materials. In comparison prefab homes can actually run cheaper than traditional homes by about 45 – 50 percent cheaper. Along with this less cost is seen since there is less spent on site preparation as well. 

Durability of Your Prefab Home

The prefab structures once put together as per manufacturer specifications can withstand several types of extreme weather. Particularly if faced with the intense heat of summer and then beastly cold winter and the weight of snow. The prefab house is durable. The prefab home is usually built to a higher standard than many onsite buildings. Along with this is the stringent quality control done in the factory setting, as well as the precision.

This leads to a higher structural soundness of the prefab home, as compared to the traditionally built one.
