You’ve heard of mobile homes, manufactured homes, and modular homes, but did you know that all these structure types fall into one category of housing? Called prefabricated (or prefab) homes, these structures are built off site (often in a centralized factory or warehouse setting) and assembled on your property. Prefab homes are a fast and affordable option for housing that’s growing in popularity.
Prefabricated homes—typically called prefabs, or prefab homes—are homes that were built off site and moved to a lot of land after construction. This is in contrast to traditional homes, which are built on site and typically can’t be moved. Prefab homes are typically built in a factory setting before they’re moved to your lot. On the lot, they might need some finishing touches for assembly, but much of the work is already done.

Manufactured homes don’t sit on a permanent foundation but rather on a chassis.Modular homes have a fixed permanent foundation that the home sits on, and the land is deeded to the homeowner. Modular homes cannot be moved from the foundation once assembled.
These homes must meet all the same construction requirements that a traditional frame-built home would meet. These are just homes built off-site and then delivered in modules. Modular homes can be placed anywhere a typical home can and are built following all traditional permits and zoning laws.
Because prefab homes are built off site in controlled environments and with materials that are familiar to the company building the home, construction times are often much faster than building a home on site.

Prefab homes can be an affordable option if you’re looking to get your first home. They’re typically cheaper to construct than a full custom build, but you may pay more if you’re looking for something specific.
Generally, though, a standard prefab home will be less costly than a comparable stick-built home. The lower costs come from the construction method.
Off site built homes are a more affordable home option for individuals and families due to a variety of reasons: Building materials and appliances are purchased in bulk and distributed to the network of building facilities nationwide, forwarding the savings to our customers,. Building efficiencies inside the facilities, like production line assembly and utilizing leftover building materials, also aid in driving down the overall cost of construction.
