How Do Prefab Homes Become A Great Choice These Days?

You might be tempted to build your home yourself if you can't locate one you want to purchase. Whether it is post and beam framing, or a prefab home, all you need is to depend on the latest methods to ensure great durability. If so, you will have to decide between a stick-built and a prefabricated home. 

Stick-built homes are constructed using the traditional method, with a team of employees spending months on the job site elevating the structure and installing the electrical and plumbing systems. On the other hand, a prefab house is made up of pre-assembled pieces.

Prefab is a general phrase used in modern home construction that describes practically everything while describing nothing in particular. Prefabrication can encompass a wide range of methods, which is why the term can be a little confusing.

Prefabricated homes, also known as prefab homes, get their name from the fact that most of their construction is done off-site before being brought and put together on-site.

Prefabricated homes have a bad reputation in the UK since they were typically used to replace Second World War dwelling stock that had been devastated by bombs. Although some prefabs are still standing today, their purpose was always temporary, which reflects the standards they were built to. Though the name still has a negative connotation, modern prefab dwellings are now more frequently linked with efficiency and quality.

Prefabrication is essentially the same as saying something was manufactured beforehand. Prefabricated materials have long been a part of conventional house-building techniques, with off-site production of items like timber roof trusses. Yet, many businesses now use the phrase "prefab" to convey the benefits of their various strategies because it alludes to a more contemporary manner of building.

The term "prefab" is used so frequently because it is vague and because many people believe it exclusively refers to a cutting-edge, economical construction technique. Yet, any house can be deemed prefab if some of its components were produced before the home was delivered to the site.

What is a Kit Home? 

Kit homes are prefab homes delivered to a site flat-packed for assembly by the workers or the contractors. These self-built options have great potential for the involvement of the individual and generally mean that the house owner is responsible for the construction of their home. 

The Final Consideration

As the name suggests, the home's components are made as a prefabricated kit that must be assembled on location. Even while it could need professionals, the owner can frequently build it or at the very least manage it, saving money. 

Those who prefer to be very "hands-on" with their project are the target audience. The quantity of the kit that you buy might range from just the building envelope by itself to a full home package.

Adaptive Reuse Farmstead

An old farmstead sat vacant for about 15 years in Lancaster County, PA and our owners saw potential.

At that point, no farmer was going to put the extensive resources into the property that it would need to become functional again and the township didn't want a big corporation to destroy the buildings/property.

So we gave the historic farmhouse (& barn) new life by adapting it to serve as our headquarters for our construction company.

The farmhouse is office space, the in-law's quarters (black building on the right) is the timber frame conference room & more office space, and the timber frame connector serves as the reception area and open meeting space.

This shows how versatile timber framing can be and how you can blend old world craftsmanship with modern design features. We also love that it's given our team a biophilic space to work in and was a sustainable way to construct our building!
