What is a Prefabricated House?

These modern-day homes are known as “Prefab” or “made before” because they are mainly built off-site in advance and then delivered and assembled on-site.

Interestingly, prefab homes have a history dating back to the 1st century. The Romans used this technique to build forts after conquering Britain.

Nowadays, modern prefab homes are more often associated with advanced and innovative techniques.

Compared to traditional homes, prefab home construction takes just half the time, because while the foundation structure is made on the site, the other parts are made in the factory. The whole process is made in parallel, saving a good deal of time.

The cost of prefab homes varies depending on the materials, customisation, labour, and finishing.
