There are two main types of prefabricated homes: modular and panelized. Modular homes, as they’re being built at a factory, look like a kit of parts that gets stacked on top of one another. Panelized homes use sections of pre-made wall panels that get bolted onto a frame. Each option has its pros and cons; contact professionals in your area to decide which type is best for you. (You can also find prefabricated housing communities.)
There are three major benefits to building with a prefab home: cost savings, shorter construction time, and quality construction. It’s no secret that building costs have skyrocketed over recent years—and have stayed sky high—so it only makes sense to cut costs wherever possible.
