Modular homes or prefabricated homes have many advantages over traditional homes. Without a doubt last week we addressed one of those advantages, the resistance of prefabricated houses. Another is the Energy Efficiency and the commitment to sustainability. Today we raise questions about prefabricated houses and their advantages over traditional construction.
The industrialized process of prefabricated houses
When we talk about prefabricated houses and their advantages, we cannot ignore their industrialized process. The prefabricated houses of Modular Home They involve an industrialized process in their manufacturing. But it doesn't just stop at that first step, the process continues with the transfer of the home and its installation in the final location. This is achieved by developing a work plan that has studied all the processes and manages to perfectly mesh all the agents involved.
In the factory, the prefabricated panels are made that will make up the envelope of the prefabricated home. As well as the intermediate floors and the roof. At the location of the home, the foundation work and connection to services such as sanitation, electricity, water supply, etc. are undertaken. The industrialized process entails strict quality controls, which are incompatible with traditional construction. At the same time, all technical regulations relating to the construction of buildings for residential use are rigorously complied with.
The different types of prefabricated houses
There are many different prefabricated house solutions on the market. The biggest differences occur in their manufacturing material. From the longest-lived wooden ones, to metal homes, or like ours made of reinforced concrete. It is obvious that prefabricated houses and their advantages depend mostly on the construction material. Using wood is not the same as reinforced concrete. The results in terms of energy efficiency, housing durability, and need for maintenance differ greatly.
En Modular Home We are committed to reinforced concrete as the central material of our prefabricated homes. A material that provides constructive solidity. As well as exemplary behavior in terms of energy efficiency. Reinforced concrete has exemplary behavior in terms of settlement of the building. Absorbing without incident those settlements that occur in the first years of a building's useful life.
Prefabricated houses and their advantages
The advantages of prefabricated houses are many and diverse. These advantages are what are increasingly encouraging clients and promoters to choose them. But it is no longer just a question of the end client or promoter. Architecture professionals, architects and quantity surveyors, are increasingly clear about it. These advantages make your job easier and eliminate the possibility of problems after the keys are handed over to the end user. Something that in the years of the last brick boom has brought these professionals upside down.
Speed of execution
Being able to ensure that a home is built within a period of about four months is something that is impossible to achieve in traditional construction. With prefabricated homes it is a true reality. The fact that the enclosures and the structure come already manufactured and ready to assemble shortens the execution times. It is a real spectacle to see the work teams of Modular Home. Raising the panels, moving them to their final position. The installation of the enclosures, intermediate slabs and roof is a matter of days. Which implies that by having the volume closed in that short period of time, the incidence of bad weather is insignificant in the future of the work.
Materials with better performance
There is no dispute that the choice of reinforced concrete is a success. Reinforced concrete offers benefits that far exceed traditional construction materials. Sometimes they tell us that even in traditional construction, concrete walls are built in-situ. It is true, but the controls carried out in the factory on our prefabricated panels cannot be transferred to the construction site. The industrial quality standards of our materials cannot be matched in traditional construction.
Efficiency and sustainability
We never tire of proclaiming the efficiency and sustainability advantages of prefabricated homes. Our type of construction is dry. This means not using excessively a resource as important as water. Waste on other materials is also prevented, and above all the generation of waste. The impact of a prefabricated construction like ours compared to a traditional construction is much lower. We take care of the environment in which we build. At the same time, the final result of our homes allows us to reduce the energy bill for the end user. Thanks to highly energy efficient homes.
Custom designs and best value for money
Contrary to what you might think, prefabricated homes allow personalized designs. This is one of the advantages of the modular architecture we use. Without a doubt, design is another of the strong points of our construction model. When we look at the quality-price ratio, so important when choosing, Modular Home prefabricated houses once again take advantage.
