Mention that you’re looking at buying a prefabricated or mobile home to friends and often the response you’ll get is one of confusion. Most people have an image in their mind about prefab or mobile homes that is a holdover from the early days of mobile home construction. Gone are the days of builders creating metal shoebox monstrosities. And as in any new industry, as the standards have evolved the quality of product has gotten increasingly better.The modern mobile or prefabricated home has many benefits for the home buyer that might not be immediately apparent.

The obvious benefit of buying prefabricated is, of course, the speed in which you actually have a new home to live in. If you are buying a custom home, it will take about 12 weeks for delivery, but a previously built home takes only as long as delivery and set up! Building a home on-site can take much longer due to weather conditions, contractor scheduling, and availability of materials or workers.

A less obvious benefit to mobile and prefab homes is that they’re environmentally friendly. Because they are built in a climate controlled assembly line factory environment, there is less waste generated and less building materials ruined by weather or vandalism than you would find with on-site building. Many companies also give you the option to choose more energy efficient options for your custom built home, saving you even more money in the long run.

Having your home built in a factory setting is also more efficient for the workers building your home, which in turn helps lower the price of your home. Since all the building materials are at the factory where your home is being built and the construction process is done on an assembly line, the work is completed more quickly. The set up of your new home on the building site is also much quicker because your home will be mostly completed when it arrives.

You might think that buying a prefabricated or mobile home will let result in a home that’s a cookie cutter version of all the other prefabricated or mobile homes out there; in reality there are many options that you can choose from when arranging to have your home built. Take a look at the builders that are available to you and see what your options are. Shop around for floor plans that appeal to you and fulfill your particular needs.

Whether you require a cozy bungalow or a more spacious design, rest assured that there are mobile or prefab designs out there that will suit you. And once you’ve picked out the best plan and customized the details to your tastes, you may just change the way that your friends view modern prefabricated or mobile homes!
