Prefab vs. conventional – which one cuts your building cost

Modern technological innovations are getting imbibed into the construction industry at a rapid rate. From prefab building materials to modular homes, they are changing the way people used to build their dream house. There seems to be numerous reasons why prefab houses weigh better than conventional or stick build houses.

Here, we have picked some of the comparisons, have a look:

Time is money

Either you are building a primary home — a farm house or a vacation home meant for your family, prefabricated structures allow you to integrate both style and luxury in an economical way. With the use of advanced materials in the building process of prefab homes, the time required to construct a prefabricated house as well as the cost of basic materials too reduced to great extent. Due to these cost-cutting features, people are moving ahead to modular homes rather than going for a stick build house.

Smart & architecturally perfect

As the home buyers are getting smarter every day, prefabricated homes no longer stayed the way they used to be. They have evolved from mobile box-homes to beautiful designer-luxury houses installed at their desired site. These homes are cost effective, designed with professional architects and are installed by professionals – making them the latest and in thing in the construction segment.

Going green

Building a conventional home is not always eco-friendly and may leave more residual garbage that affects the environment. With a prefab home, you can build your house with green features such as solar paneling on the roof, high-tech insulated environment-friendly materials for the walls and roofs that minimize HVAC utility costs. Water catchment or a rain water harvesting system can seamlessly fit into your modular house and minimize your water bills. With a stick built house, the cost of heating and cooling becomes expensive in the long run.

Style and economy go hand in hand

Who said beautiful homes can’t be economical? The way a house is built doesn’t gets to determine how attractive it looks, rather the amount of practicality infused with alluring designs and a sensible design brings the perfect prefab home that matches your everyday needs. As they are prefabricated, they don’t need any extra building cost like the stick build house.

Reduced labor costs

For a traditional house (stick built) you have to spend a lot for the labor cost, as it requires a large number of people for construction. The higher their skills, the more they will charge you for building your house and will take the construction costs higher. Going with a prefabricated house, contractor would help you in this case. They would bring down the labor cost by installing pre-constructed structures and assembling right at your plot within 60-90 days rather than taking months in a row. In case you are having a tight budget then building a prefab home would be the right decision for you.

The rising cost of building materials have made the home owners to think seriously about choosing the right options for construction. Whether to go prefab or conventional used to be a big challenge for them. Stick-built houses are less popular in India due to the extreme climatic condition and hence, conventional houses means using other expensive building materials. In that respect, prefabricated houses are a welcome respite to own a designer-luxury house without spending a fortune on the construction cost.
