Prefabricated houses are a fantastic option if you are looking for a personalized home that you can build quickly and at an affordable price. It is an alternative to traditional construction that is increasingly popular and in demand, due to its high quality and efficiency.
Then We explain everything you need to know about how to build a prefabricated house, from choosing the appropriate land to the completion of the project.
Step 1: Housing typology and personalized design
The first thing to decide is the type of prefabricated home you need. Selecting the type of house, its surface area, number of rooms, distribution and design is the key to give a name and surname to the project. One of the advantages of prefabricated houses is that there are many models and designs from which you can choose, in addition to being able to completely customize the home both inside and outside.
It is important take into account your family's needs, lifestyle and budget to choose the most suitable prefabricated home. Once you have selected the design, the manufacturing company and your architect will carry out the implementation work with plans and specifications necessary construction techniques.
Step 2: The importance of obtaining the necessary permits
Each City's legal permits and licenses ensure that construction complies with local building codes and that the home is in compliance with zoning laws and other regulations. They may also be necessary for request connection to public services and to obtain mortgages and home insurance. It is important to obtain the necessary permits before starting construction to avoid fines and problems in the future.
Step 3: Preparing the ground for installation
Once all legal permits and licenses are in place, It is time to prepare your land for its correct installation. In this step, the quality of the land is evaluated and the surface is prepared for the installation of the house.
Evaluation of the quality of the land and preparation of the surface for the installation of the prefabricated house
Before starting to build, you must evaluate the quality of the land to determine if it is suitable. It is important to consider factors such as topography, soil quality, drainage and accessibility. Once it has been verified that the land is suitable, you can begin to prepare the surface for the installation of the home.
How to level and prepare the ground for a successful installation
The first step is clear the work area of any obstacles that may interfere with the installation such as trees, rocks or debris as well as any surface vegetation.
Next, through excavation and prior to laying the foundation, look for a solid foundation for housing. It is important to follow the specifications provided by the technical team, construction managers and architects to guarantee the perfect adequacy of execution of the decided housing model and to redesign the home in the exact physical location.
Once firm searched, we have to level the ground with cleaning concrete, material that guarantees exact leveling and physical separation with the vegetal terrain.
Finally, the foundation of the house is installed, which is the basis of the stability of the house and the place where we will install our prefabricated panels according to the MH SYSTEM construction system.
Step 4: Installation of the prefabricated house
This phase is the moment in which the installation of the concrete panels and construction of the house begins. Prior to installing the home, the construction company must know each piece of your project, the materials chosen, the human team that will be available for the work and the exact definition of each of the items so that during execution there is no There are no surprises, something very common in traditional construction.
How is a prefabricated house installed?
Once the concrete panels have been manufactured and arrive at the plot, the assembly phase is carried out. These panels are transported in trucks and once they reach their destination, they are lifted using a high-tonnage auto crane. The assembly team is waiting at the installation site and they are assembled in their corresponding place, thus forming the structure of the house. These panels are numbered with a unique code so that they can be placed in the exact location. This process must be carried out with great coordination and high knowledge of assembly and installation.
Step 5: Utility Connection and Interior Finishes
Once the prefabricated house is installed on the land, It is time to move forward with the connection of public services, such as water, and electricity. This can be done by the construction company or by the self-promoter of the prefabricated house. At the same time, progress can be made on the rest of the work items until the completion of the interior finishes.
Interior finishing process.
Each phase of the work must have specialized equipment, plans and materials to carry out its work with precision and coordination in favor of the quality of the construction. At Modular Home, the Quality Department monitors all phases of work so that the final result is as expected, and the next phase can be continued. Once the interior finishes have been completed, the manufactured home is ready for occupancy.
Step 6: Inspection
It is important to carry out a subsequent inspection to ensure everything is in order through exhaustive quality control that will ensure the proper functioning of the home and compliance with the requirements of the construction project, as well as the client's initial requirements.
