Prefabricated houses are constructed by
assembling various components of a house that are prefabricated in a
factory at the construction site. Prefabricated house possess a numerous benefits making them popular today among home buyers. Few of those benefits are as follows:
Faster and easier construction:
Prefabs take much lesser time to get
constructed than the traditional homes as these are built in enclosed
spaces in a factory using machines. Unlike traditional homes while
constructing a prefab requires less manpower. Also the delays due to
environmental factors like storms, extreme heat/cold etc. is not
inevitable in case of prefabs.
Sustainability:
Since prefab homes are built in
factories, they are manufactured under strict norms using cutting edge
technologies making them more sustainable and eco friendly than the
traditional constructed houses.
Cost Effectiveness:
Prefab homes are a cost effective option
over the conventional homes. The prefabrication manufacturers receive a
bulk discount on materials which in turn lessens the construction costs.
Also the reduction in construction time significantly saves on the
financing costs.
Safety:
As the sub-assemblies are manufactured
within the factory-controlled environment these are less prone to
moisture, environmental hazards and dirt related problems. An indoor
construction environment presents considerably lesser accident and other
liabilities risks.
Eco- Friendly:
Unlike traditional houses, the sub
assemblies of prefabs are built in factory which helps in recycling of
extra materials which lessens the wastage of materials. Also the
accurate construction, tighter joints and better air filtration allows
for better wall insulation and an increase in energy efficiency. All
these factors make prefabs an eco friendly or green housing option.
Conclusion:
The popularity of prefabs is growing day by day and it will be growing in the near future as well. If you are looking for prefabricated building solutions in South Africa then Afripanels can help you.
