Why are more & more people Choosing to buy prefab or modular homes? Prefabricated / Modular homes are easy and fast to construct compared to your traditional homes.
Brick and mortar are still used to build in South Africa. This method is still widely used here in S.A as well as around the world.
However modular homes are becoming a widespread trend and will soon take the forefront of how we see housing in S.A.
Modular homes are usually assembled off-site and get put together once on-site, where your home will find its permanent place, with that said if you do decide to relocate you can disassemble your home, and as funny as it might sound you can take your home with you and assemble it right back up in your new location, it goes without saying you must have the correct logistic skills and manpower to do this.
One of the main benefits of modular homes is, that they are a lot more cost-effective and they are fast to assemble and install.
Please factor in the design of your home the type of terrain you are dealing with can all factor in the time and cost it takes to install your home.
