Prefab vs Traditional

Buying  a  prefab  house  and  ge2ng  it  assembled  on  your  plot  of  land,  is  gaining  popularity  in  developing  countries.

Purchasing  a  pre-­‐made  modular  kitchen  or  bathroom  unit,  has  become  a  standard  feature  in  the  construc=on  of    tradi=onal  houses  or  buildings.

Across  the  world,  the  =mely  construc=on  of  proper=es  benefit  both  the  constructor  and  homeowner.

From  the  owner's  point  of  view,  early  possession  of  a  home  or  apartment  allows  them  the  opportunity  to  earn  rental  income  sooner  and  save  on  the  interest  on  the  loan  borrowed  from  the  bank.

The  builder,  upon  comple=on  of  the  project,  can  reinvest  the  capital  into  new  projects  and  earn  further  income.

The  tradi=onal  'brick  and  mortar'  construc=on  is  giving  way  to  prefab  structures  and  materials.  

Prefab  technologies  can  be  used  to  build  homes  quickly  and  cost-­‐effec=vely,  especially  as  tradi=onal  construc=on  costs  con=nue  to  rise.  

As  the  cost  of  borrowing  is  steep  in  developing  countries  and  land  developers  are  facing  a  liquidity  crunch,  =me  is  equal  to  money.

Prefab  construc=on  method  is  quicker  and  adds  to  the  revenue  stream    of  the  developer.

In  prefab  technology,  the  project  can  be  designed  using  architecture  soHware.

Parts  such  as  steel  frames,  wall,  ceiling  panels  are  custom-­‐made.  

The  components  are  then  brought  to  the  construc=on  site,  the  structure  is  assembled  on-­‐site,  together  with  kitchen  and  bathroom,  doors  and  windows  units  being  fiIed  into  place.  

The  use  of  prefab  techniques  can  also  result  in  beIer  cost  efficiencies  over  the  life  span  of  the  buildings.

Normally,  pre-­‐engineered  homes  show  beIer  performance,  as  assembly-­‐line-­‐produced  homes  are  manufactured  to  stricter  norms  with  cu2ng  edge  technology  and  reduce  the  number  of  manufacturing  defects.

Using  prefab  method  in  buildings  also  gives  flexibility  in  terms  of  expansion  and  modifica=ons.
