Affordability

It used to be that prefabricated home packages were
synonymous with low cost and often poor quality home construction. Today,
that’s far from the case. Prefabricated home packages are some of the
highest quality built homes on the market today. In addition, they are often
the most energy efficient and green construction in the residential building
industry. Due to the fact that the home, or various subassemblies of the
home, are constructed in a manufacturing facility higher standards of
construction and quality can be achieved. |
In addition, due to a controlled production environment, costs are better
controlled, which translates down the road into savings for the homeowner.
Prefabricated home packages come in a variety of types, styles and sizes. For
example, manufactured home packages typically consist of multiple sections of a
home that are constructed at a factory, transported to a building lot, and
finally assembled together on the jobsite. Panel and module home packages are
similarly constructed.

With all of these types of prefabricated home packages, the subassemblies
are completely finished at the factory, including the finished siding, interior
walls, insulation, and all of the electrical wiring and plumbing pipes. At the
jobsite, the subassemblies are attached together, leaving only finish carpentry,
electric, and plumbing work to be completed. As a result, prefabricated homes
can be assembled and completed much faster than traditional stick built homes.

Prefabricated home packages are not limited to just modular homes and manufactured
homes. Log cabin and timber framed homes are also available in prefabricated
home package kits as well. They are available in standard prefabricated home
package kits, but can also be custom built at the factory per customer specific
plans. Again, with both these types of prefabricated home packages the homes are
built in subassemblies at the factory, transported to the jobsite, and then
finally assembled on the jobsite with the aid of cranes and other heavy
equipment.
There is also geodesic dome, circular and steel framed prefabricated home
package kits that can be purchased. And again, the manufacturers of these types
of prefabricated home packages can build both standard and custom homes.
