What are the advantages and disadvantages of fabricated home

If you need to build your own house now, you can either build it from scratch or buy a fabricated home or modular home and have it assembled on site. Which option is better? Building a house on site is a traditional practice, and you’ll get the idea, so let’s look at the advantages and disadvantages of fabricated home.

Benefits of fabricated home# affordable

The biggest advantage of fabricated home is that they are cheap. In general, A home built on-site, known as a “stick-built” home, is usually about twice as expensive as premade houses. Because premade houses are all processed in factories, there is no waste of materials, and Factory prefabricated materials are purchased in bulk, and the cost is lower. It is very cheap in terms of cost.

Since premade houses have been processed in the factory, fewer workers or machinery are required on site, which also reduces installation costs. In addition, fabricated home require less time to install, saving homeowners some money as well.

Benefits of fabricated home# Relatively fast installation process

The individual parts of a prebuilt home, whether modular or paneled, are assembled off-site. Therefore, the actual time required to install parts on site is much shorter than the time required to build an ordinary wooden structure house, and the fastest needs to be able to move in within a week. Housing is the best option.

Solidhome has a kind of prebuilt home, which is fully assembled in the factory (including decoration), and it only needs to be connected to public facilities when it is transported to the site. It does not require more installation work on site, and you can live in it.

Benefits of fabricated home # Environmental protection

All parts of the modular homes are produced in the factory, which does not require large-scale on-site installation, and also reduces on-site construction pollution. At the same time, modular home can be assembled and disassembled. When needed, prefab homes can be disassembled. They can be used in different places or recycled by other buyers or modular home manufacturers, reducing waste and pollution.

Most of the Solidhome modular homes are made of green recyclable steel structure materials, setting an example in terms of environmental protection.

Benefits of fabricated home #Customization

Modolar homes are not just standard products, they have a lot of space for imagination and can be customized according to the owner’s ideas. Solidhome has very experienced designers who can realize customers’ dreams in a timely manner. Moreover, Solidhome continues to launch creative modular homes that meet customer needs and add more high-tech.

Cons: 1. Land of mobile home

You have to own the land to assemble your mobile home on your own land, these costs need to be taken into account by the owner, and the client needs to own the mobile home before buying it. Of course, this comes at a cost.

Cons: 2. Lifespan of mobile home

According to relevant regulations, the lifespan of mobile home is between 10 and 30 years, depending on the regulations of each region. This may be related to the fact that prefab homes are a new product, and another reason is related to the uneven quality of modular home manufacturers. I believe that after mobile homes are used in large quantities and the quality of modular home manufacturers is greatly improved, the life of mobile home can be increased to 50. -100 years.

In general, good quality mobile home can last up to 50 years after good use and maintenance.

Cons: 3. Size of mobile home

For some houses such as shipping container houses, since the size of shipping containers is fixed, this type of prefab home has certain limitations. If you want to expand the size of the modular home, you need to increase the workload on site or use Solidhome another kind of modular home — fast detachable container house, this type of modular home can meet the customer’s requirements for the owner’s customization to a certain extent, and there are no more restrictions on the size of the modular home.

The above are the advantages and disadvantages of prefab homes. I believe that our owners will make wise judgments and decisions according to their own conditions.
