Main advantages of timber prefab homes
Timber prefab homes give their future owners a great opportunity to influence almost all aspects of their dream house's design. The home's elements are manufactured in advance in a factory and then transported to the building lot. The assembly time is quite short - it could be even several days. You, as a buyer of such home, choose the materials, architecture and size of the house during the design phase.
- The walls of timber prefab homes take up about 15% of the home total area and have a better ability to keep the house warm compared to a traditionally built house, where the walls are 25% of the area. For instance, a 100 sq. meters timber prefab home will give you additional 10 sq. meters free space - a whole additional room.
