Benefits
Self build is an increasingly popular path to home ownership in Europe. Not only does self build offer the chance to create exactly the house you want and need, it’s likely to end up netting you a larger profit if or when you come to sell, while affording you more space for your money and the chance to live in a more sustainable home.
Prefab timber homes have many benefits for self-builders, making them the smart choice for most self-build situations. Prefab timber homes come as kits, yet also lend themselves to endless bespoke design options, giving self-builders an opportunity to realise their individual vision at a manageable cost.
Prefabricated construction is a unique practice where the various components of the building structure are manufactured in a factory-controlled environment, and then transported to the construction site for assembly and finishing. There are numerous benefits to this type of construction:
Modern Method of Construction
In prefabricated construction, each of the building units can be easily disassembled and transported to a different site. This significantly reduces the demand for new materials, the expended energy, and overall construction time.
Also, the prefabricated construction method gives you flexibility in terms of the home’s structural design, and you get limitless opportunities to design the house as per your specific requirements.
Speed of Construction
Prefabricated construction takes significantly less time to complete the project than the traditional on-site construction method. In many cases, prefabrication takes less than half the time to complete the building than the traditional construction methods
Consistent Quality
Since prefabricated construction takes place in a controlled manufacturing environment, each assembly unit is built following specified standards. This means the structure of the construction unit will be of uniform quality. Also, some of the building components are constructed using a state-of-the-art technology that guarantees precision and consistent output adhering to the building code
Safety and Security
One of the most important concerns that people have about the on-site construction method is the safety and security of the workers, laborers, and people in and around the site. There are a myriad of things that can go wrong, which puts the life of the people at risk. With prefabricated construction, a significant part of the construction is done in a controlled factory setting, which significantly reduces the risks on on-site accidents
Environment Friendly & Energy Efficient
For most people planning a new build, limiting damage to the environment during and after construction is a key concern. As a result, the use of timber as a sustainable building material makes it an attractive choice.
Sustainable building practices are not only friendly to the earth, but also to your budget. There are many green options you can implement to create an Eco-friendly timber frame home, including using reclaimed materials, Eco-friendly insulation, solar energy options, energy efficient windows and more.
Prefabricated construction is one of the most energy-efficient and environment-friendly construction methods. The traditional construction methods often required extra material, which increases the risk of wastage.
Thus, with so many benefits associated with prefabricated construction, it is fast gaining acceptance and popularity in Europe. With this construction method, you get the benefits of environment-friendly construction, consistent quality, high-quality structures, and faster completion
