5 Benefits of Off-Site Construction
We think a lot about houses over here at Module. Specifically ones that are modular or panelized, and constructed in a factory. We obsess over every detail of how a home should be designed, how to make it more comfortable, how we can ensure we use the best finishes, materials, etc. That’s why we always get a little taken off guard when people express that they think that modular off-site construction means a cheaper, low quality build. So, we’ve taken it upon ourselves to explain five reasons why off-site construction is actually better (higher quality, more cost effective, better for the environment, etc.) than one built on-site.
Off-site construction means that you don’t have to wait for the foundation to be built before you can start building the actual house, unlike what happens with on-site construction. When building modular homes, the construction of the actual house happens at the same time as the prep work on-site, which saves about 4-6 weeks of work in total. Because time is money, off-site construction saves you money, too. You’ll save on labor costs, on rent if you were paying it while waiting to move in, and spend less on utilities that are used during construction.
5 Benefits:
- Shorter Construction Timeline
- Accurate Cost Estimates
- Better Overall Quality
- Minimize, Nearly Eliminate Labor Time at Home Site
- Material Waste Reduction
