Would You Like to Live in a Prefabricated House?

Prefab or a prefabricated house is a huge deviation from the traditional construction of houses. Prefabricated house are those which have parts being manufactured in a controlled environment in a factory then the parts are shipped to a site to be assembled.

One of the most common types of prefab is the panelized home. They are manufactured in a factory by panels or walls, and then assembled to the site. However, there are multiple constructions to be done after the assembly such as flooring, cabinets, stairs, etc.

The modular home on the other hand is manufactured my modules and attached end-to-end or stacked depending on the desired designs. Just imagine the concept similar in stacking shipping containers only the materials are rather homey and not as heavy.

A manufactured home or a mobile home is also prefabricated house. These are basically homes built on chassis of the vehicle. While a few are opting for the wheels to be removed, a lot are opting for the wheels for mobilization.

Here are the pros and cons of living in a prefabricated house:

Prefabricated House Pros

• Affordability primarily due to fewer man hours needed to complete the house.
• Eliminates the cost of construction delays as the parts of the house are manufactured in a controlled environment or in a factory.
• Lesser building process as some modules are already constructed off-site.
• Sustainability as many of the houses is in-fact earthquake, fire, and calamity resistant.
• A strict inspection to the quality of the manufactured part of the house is imposed thus ensuring their best qualities.

Prefabricated House Cons

• You are only buying the house. You need to pay separately for the land you want it installed if you do not own a parcel yet.
• Not many are still opting for a prefabricated house thus it can be a challenge to market your prefab house if you want to sell it.
• Prefab costs less but the down payment may be huge compared to traditional houses.
• If the factory is far from the on-site construction, you may spend more on the tracking of the materials.
• There can be a limit on the selection ton what the company offers as the modules are manufactured in a factory.

Is the Philippines Ready For Prefab Homes?

Prefabricated houses are made up of panels which need to be assembled forming a house. Aside from being the cheaper alternative to a home, they are also proven to be more efficient. The concepts of prefab houses are now being applied to some of the houses in the Philippines. Some companies have begun rising offering such type of house. However, the question of whether the Prefab Houses in Philippines is ready remains.

In the Philippines, when people hear about prefab houses, they often associate them with low-cost housing – and not in a good way. Prefabricated units in the country are often barracks, outposts, shelters, and non-permanent structures. Aside from being cheaper, they usually are not very attractive.

Until Robie Antonio entered the housing market. Through Revolution Precrafted Properties, he brought the prefab houses in Philippines to the market. Having come from a family owning a real estate company, he has the resources and knowledge of marketing luxury estates and similar projects and also experiments on the emerging markets of real estate.

Revolution Precrafted Properties have employed and partnered with the country’s renowned architects to give a face to its prefabricated houses. Their market has boasted of numerous designs which are only limited for a time period. The prices of these houses are also reasonably low compared to those of conventional houses. Prefab houses are also notable for its design to be built within days depending on its modules.

If the prices of the prefab houses in Philippines offered by Revolution do not work around your intended budget, you may want to consider other company alternatives in the market. To give you a clearer picture of the cost you can be spending for a prefab house, a one-bedroom house can cost an average of P200, 000.00.

One of the most convenient features of prefab houses is that when you want to expand the house or add a story, you will just have to purchase modules to be fitted and assembled to your current prefab unit. Of course, if you wish to enhance the original design even before the production of the modules start, you can readily do so.

The introduction of prefab houses in the Philippines market has paved the way to more housing choices. It has challenged the conventional housing approach of securing a reliable and beautiful yet affordable dwelling place. What the modular housing approach has given rise to is the idea to start with just a few modules and continue to expand should you have the means in the future.
