What is a Prefab Home?
A prefab home offers a fast and efficient way to build your dream home. Whether it is a home for starters, caregivers, or seniors, we offer attractive mortgage terms for both private buyers and collectives.
Advantages of a Prefab Home
Prefab homes are produced in a factory or workshop and then assembled on site. This has several advantages:
- Cost-efficient: Fewer on-site labor hours means lower costs.
- Faster construction time: The construction time is on average one year shorter.
- Less double housing costs: You save on double housing costs due to the shorter construction time.
- Durable: Less CO2 emissions and construction waste.
- Completion guarantee not mandatory: Flexibility in the construction phase.
Types of Prefabricated Homes
Prefabricated houses can be built in two ways:
- Elementary Construction: Various components such as walls, floors and roofs are assembled separately on site.
- Modular Construction: A complete home is built in the factory and installed on site.
