Two Options Of Prefab House

As far as
we know, Prefabricated Houses are built in a controlled factory setting with
constant inspection throughout the construction process. They are unaffected by
the weather during construction, allowing for higher quality construction.
Well, as a matter of fact, modular homes and panelized homes are two different
types of prefabricated homes, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.

Then,
what’s the differences between them? On one hand, panelized homes are
prefabricated homes where the manufacturer pre-builds all the exterior and
interior walls. The walls are then sent to the building site to be assembled.
Panelized home packages come complete with roofs, floors, doors, windows and
siding. Once the shells are built, subcontractors complete the interior work
such as electrical, heating and drywall. On the other hand, modular homes
differ from panelized homes in that they are built in sections that are placed
on pre-made foundations, and then joined together and completed by the builder.

Though
panelized homes are not equivalent to modular homes, both of them have
advantages. For example, both options are quicker to build than conventional
homes, resulting in less building-site time. The materials used to build the
homes are not subject to warping, cracking or weathering because they are
constructed in an indoor factory setting. Both types of homes tend to be built
solidly because they have to endure transportation to the property, and many
components are glued in addition to being nailed and screwed. In addition,
modular and panelized homes offer several design options and are an
energy-efficient choice. What is more, additional factory insulation can result
in lower heating and cooling costs for the consumer.

While,
panelized homes differ from modular homes in their construction because only
their walls are pre-built. This allows for on-site adjustments of any aspects
that may require it.

You know,
the segments of a prefabricated home are manufactured in a factory setting, so
it results in less waste of materials in the construction process. Modular and
panelized homes can be transported and assembled in much less time than
building on-site, thereby saving on labor costs. There may also be a reduction
in cost overruns due to factors such as inclement weather. Although they are
less expensive than conventional homes, prefabricated homes are not as
cost-efficient as they once were, due to new styles. Panelized homes may be
similar in cost to some conventional homes, due to their high quality, but the
consumer will get more for his or her money.

Every coin
has two sides, although prefabricated homes offer several advantages, there are
also some limitations to consider. Most modular homes tend to be rectangular
and typically follow consistent interior patterns. They are also limited by the
dimensions of their delivery vehicles and the units must be able to withstand
stress during braking, accelerating and turning. Panelized homes do not have
the same limitations because only their walls are pre-built. In addition,
garages, porches and other additions to modular homes must be built on-site,
whereas these additions are prepared beforehand for panelized homes.
