Building a prefab home is no doubt an affordable way to put a permanent roof over your head. But just how cost-friendly? And what are some other costs you should know about? Let’s find out.
What are prefab homes?
Essentially, prefab housing is a system where a home is pre-produced in parts off-site and then delivered, also in parts, on a building place to be put combine by a handful of people, skilled in building a home. In addition to their power efficiency, affordability and speedy construction, prefab homes have also been adapted over the years to meet the architectural designs of more present times. Prefab home producers continually implement the new innovations into their designs for that high-end updated, new look within a sustainable, purposeful living area.
So how does a new prefab cost?
The average total project price for prefab homes range from P10,000.00 to P20,000.00 per sq. meter. This is a national average. Needles to say, the place situations (location, soil conditions, topography, etc) and choice of finish will impact the full project cost.
There are a big range of choices of finishes depending on your personal flavor and how much you are willing to invest in a place you will soon call your home.
There are a couple of reasons why prefab homes tend to cost less than site-build homes:
Less waste
When you have many groups of contractors delivering materials to a site and building a home on place, there is a lot of waste created in the type of excess material. When a home is built in modules or panels in a factory, the system can be improved and waste can be decreased.
Less labor and time
During a traditional build, many groups of subcontractors (such as painters, electricians, plumbers, and framers) all come out separately to do their designated job. This work is generally delayed or hampered by the work of other subcontractors. When panels or modules are built-in factory, the labor can be more rightly managed so that the work is done efficiently and fast.
Overall, building a new prefabricated is no doubt an affordable way to put a permanent roof over your head. You just have to take your time and perform your research, talk your ideas extensively with every producer you are considering, and take complete charge of the construction of your own home. Happy building!
