Prefab wooden homes and why you should choose them

Prefab wooden homes are becoming an increasingly popular housing option today. Thanks to the numerous advantages that prefab homes offer, they are becoming strong competitors to traditional brick homes. So what are their main advantages?

A PREFAB WOODEN BUILDING = A READILY AVAILABLE HOME WITHIN 3 MONTHS

It takes much less time to build a prefab wooden home than it does to build a brick home. Thanks to the fact that a prefab wooden home is built in a production shop, there's no need to wait for the right weather or season. Unlike with traditional building projects, where obtaining a building permit is necessary, in most cases, only a notification of construction (a simplified and expedited building permit process) is required for prefab homes. This allows you to build and obtain building permits at the same time, which is a huge time-saver. Production is often faster than the bureaucracy, so usually, a finished home can arrive alongside the permit.

AN ENERGY-EFFICIENT HOME SAVES ON COSTS

Another undeniably important feature of prefab wooden homes is their cost-effectiveness. These are energy-efficient or passive homes, whose operating and acquisition costs are significantly lower than those of traditional brick homes. For example, the average heat consumption for heating a typical brick home built in the 1980s is 110 kWh/m2. In contrast, a energy-efficient house in the form of a prefab wooden construction has a heat consumption of only 50 kWh/m², resulting in more than half the costs.

Similarly, the financial savings of buying a home are substantial. Since the production of a passive house takes place at a single location that is technologically and logistically prepared for construction, there is a significant reduction in acquisition costs. An unquestionable advantage is the fixed price, which, unlike with brick homes, does not change during the construction process. The client knows the price of their passive home from the start and doesn't have to worry about any unexpected additional costs.

PREFAB WOODEN HOMES ARE HIGHLY VERSATILE

A huge advantage of these energy-efficient homes is the ability to combine various modules into a single unit. This allows you to build a custom home with efficient use of space that can be easily adapted over time to suit your needs. For example, if a young couple buys a small prefab home for two, they can quickly and easily expand it when they have kids. In other words, your home will grow with you.

MOVING? TAKE YOUR PASSIVE HOMEE WITH YOU

Mobility is a key feature that sets prefab homes apart from brick homes. If you need to relocate to another town, village, or even a remote area, there's no need to sell your practical and energy-efficient home and buy a new one. Your prefab home can easily be transported and reassembled in a new location. An invaluable time and money saver.

ENERGY-EFFICIENT PREFAB HOMES OFFER QUALITY AND PERMANENT HOUSING

Prefab wooden homes are designed for year-round, permanent living just like traditional wooden or brick homes. Once the individual parts of the home are joined together, the prefab wooden building is indistinguishable from a traditional one. Thanks to its solid construction and strong joints, a prefab home is not only transportable but also more structurally sound than a house built on-site. As production takes place in a dry shop environment, there's no risk of water or moisture seeping into the structure due to adverse weather conditions. As a result, the service life of a prefab home is the same as that of a traditional wooden home, which is at least 80 years.
