Modular housing is understood to be a construction technique in which the construction company uses parts and elements made in advance in the factory to build houses on a building site. These parts are also called prefab, because they are prefabricated in the factory. This may concern concrete floors, complete interior walls and wooden roof decking. The use of modular housing has advantages for several parties, including professionals Austin custom home builders and buyers.

 

Undoubtedly the biggest advantage of modular housing is that professional Austin custom home builders can realize construction projects much faster. If you, as a construction professional or client, choose to build one or more modular prefab homes, the construction project can proceed up to five times faster than when building is done in the traditional way. Of course, the construction planning must be adjusted with the modular building style: all construction professionals involved must carry out their part of the construction project in shorter succession.

 

Another advantage of the modular construction method is that the prefabricated parts are easier to transport to the construction site than with traditional construction. A study by a large construction company had the striking result that about 49 to 50 percent fewer truck journeys were needed due to the choice for modular construction. This saves contractors a lot of transport costs, but is of course also good for preventing traffic jams and better for the environment. 

 

As a professional custom home builders Austin TX, you also benefit from the choice of modular construction of homes, companies or custom buildings, because scaffolding is no longer required. As every construction specialist knows, transporting, assembling and later dismantling and removing scaffolding is a labour-intensive job. However, scaffolding not only takes a lot of time, but often also costs a lot of money. With modular building styles you get rid of this problem and thus save a lot of time and money during construction projects. Don't forget that the number of transport movements is decreasing due to the modular construction methods: the scaffolding no longer has to cross the road to the building site. 

 

Because the building elements can be hoisted up as larger parts when using prefab parts, modular construction techniques require far fewer hoisting movements. This again means less work, lower costs and faster and more targeted work.

 

As a contractor and custom home builder a lot of time and expense is involved in calling in construction specialists for every part of a construction project. If you opt for the modular approach, you are largely free of this. Because the building components are delivered ready-made, you need fewer construction specialists than with traditional construction.
