6 good reasons to buy a prefabricated cottage

1. More economical
High-volume production saves on materials, reduces design errors and improves construction productivity. All this means that the prefab construction company can reduce its expenses considerably, and offer you a new home at the lowest possible price!
2. More environmentally friendly
Prefabricated construction reduces the amount of waste produced during design. The necessary materials are delivered directly to the factory, minimizing the amount of packaging. There is little or no wastage of materials: the company orders only what it needs to build its model. If there are any leftover materials, they can always be used later.
What's more, prefabricated construction reduces the number of trips to the construction site, which in turn reduces the number of greenhouse gases generated by transport.
3. Faster construction
Factory construction is faster: it doesn't depend on rain or shine, which reduces the number of design delays. What's more, as employees are used to building models, they can work in line, improving manufacturing time. For Lëxi, for example, design can take from 2 weeks to 1 month.
Just think, you could be sitting in the backyard of your new cottage around the fire with a glass of wine soon enough if you put your mind to it!
4. Design quality
Construction takes place in a warm, weatherproof factory. This means there are no unpleasant surprises, since insulating a house without rain, snow or wind means it's watertight beyond compare.
5. Almost unlimited choice
Prefabricated home companies offer you a vast choice of models and materials. Some are more flexible than others when it comes to modifying plans (like Lëxi Chalet, for example 😉 ). At the end of your construction project, you're sure to have a home that's just right for you, and meets all your needs.
6. Support
Another strong point of prefab homes is that you're supported throughout your project. You have access to advice that can really help you realize the vision you had at the outset. Whether it's financing, choosing a plot of land or designing your home, you have access to free advice and tips, which can make the building process much more pleasant.
