What better way to build affordable, sustainable, energy efficient homes than making them in a climate-controlled factory? In this environment, they are less prone to mold because the materials used in the construction of prefab houses have been well stored and not subjected to the elements – unlike typical stick-builds.

Therefore, right from the outset, the air quality in prefab houses is much healthier. They are also sealed and insulated better to improve overall energy performance. Thanks to state-of-the-art building facilities, prefab houses can now be sealed and insulated in areas that are physically impossible on site-builds.

So, what does all this mean to you? Well, for starters, you should see a significant drop in your heating and cooling costs, which accounts for about 50 percent of the energy used in a home. And, if you are environmentally conscious, you’ll be pleased to know that some of the components in prefab houses, such as pre-hung doors and trusses, allow for the more efficient use of raw materials because wastage is minimal.
